Thanks! Yes, the low angles show its beautiful classic lines, a timeless even modern design for a 60 year old car. -

#4/2023 After the Lotus 72 not that long ago, my dad now finished another legendary race car. Well, it didn´t turn out "perfect", but which model does? Fujimi kit which dates back to 1989, this is the 2000 edition. Thekit decals weren´t usable, bought aftermarket ones from Slotracing Werk in Germany. They applied fine but once when dry they became a bit brittle, had to do some touch-ups with white paint. Tire decals are from Indycals. They are printed on a full decal film, to say the tire shape had to be cut out. As far as I´ve seen on original cars, the letter style was a bit different and the decals show a newer style, but better than nothing. Didn´t install the rearview mirror. Micro Klear didn´t work out and plastic or CA glue would have been to dangerous for the windshield, which btw didn´t fit that good and also was slightly too small. Build thread here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235119141-le-mans-legends124-ford-gt40-mkii-1966/ The model shows one of 13! GT40 used in the 1966 Le Mans race. It was driven by US Americans Dan Gurney and Jerry Grant. The car didn´t finish the race.

Do you mean slightly shine-through or cracked decals? Only area with shine-through is the side stripe being slightly visible in the side number decals, but on the lighted pics you don´t see it. Regarding cracks in the decals, did some touch ups with white paint. -

almost finished rest of the windows, mesh on the rear and front light glasse attached btw, didn´t install the rear view window, didn´t work out with Micro Klear and plastic or CA glue was too dangerous, didn´t want to damage the windshield DSC_0001 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0002 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0003 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr -
