Ford GT40P Chassis # 1047....

..... well that's what Fujimi would have us believe. LOL

Pretty decent kit with no fit issues, virtualy no flash, mold lines etc. Decals were something of a let down as they were translucent and allowed some of the red to show through. Also, where they overlapped, they appear denser. (they way they should have been in the first place!! LOL)

It's a shame Fujimi made it kerbside as an engine would really make this kit. I think they also must have made a road version originally, as the dashboard is not correct for any race version I have ever seen. Also they failed to include a roll cage.

Since it does not truly represent chassis # 1047, I chose to use the roundels from chassis #1031 (It's original chassis number) as they have a nice black border.







The small P/E fret and seat belt material was a nice tough.















The exhaust tips I made from electrical bootlace ends with the flare cut off.

Looks great Al!

I really like the shade of Red you put on it. Nice job.

I really like the outcome, the seat belts look awesome too..

very nice build Al ........ just gotta love the GT-40's ........ they were classic race cars

Don't see them too often in red and it's a nice change and a great finish. The interior is just as sharp as the body. Great job Al!

Thanks all.

Too true Denis

Superb Al, brilliant finish with the zero paint. Which clear coat did you use?

Hmmmmm a GT40, in red...... What else could you ask santa for?

Lovely job.

Thanks both.

Gary, it's two pack auto clear coat. Pro-Spray clearcoat with a generic hardener for no other reason than I ran out of Pro-Spray hardener.

Thanks Al, superb results.

Awesome build!!
