LotusGuy238 Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) This is the snap-tire version of the 2017 Ford GT from Revell. For being such a simple kit, this model was actually really detailed. I’m looking forward to the release of the full detail kit from Tamiya. I have more photos that I’ll try to upload later because it’s not letting me upload them. Let me know what you think. Thanks, Evans Edited January 6, 2019 by LotusGuy238
NYLIBUD Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Oh man,what an incredible looking car..Great job.You cant go wrong with white and black.
Phildaupho Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 I agree your Ford GT looks good in white. I was just watching the Roar before the Daytona 24 and noticed the Ford GT racecars now have a predominately white livery which I like a lot better than the previous livery

I'd like to see them run it, but heard a rumor it was just for Daytona testing. Looks great in white. If I may, take some clear glue and fill in the mirrors over and over till its built up then colour it silver, will make them look a lot better than the holes.
LotusGuy238 Posted January 7, 2019 Author Posted January 7, 2019 I didn't even notice the mirrors. Thanks for the tip I'll have to do it.

There will be whats being described as a 'throw-back' livery to celebrate in part the 50th anniversary of IMSA. No one was saying much about what its supposed to look like though.
Nacho Z Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 I would have never believed that white would have looked so good! Super nice job on this!
Gramps46 Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 I too like what you have done with this snap kit. The white was an excellent choice.

ismaelg Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Nice job. Looks good in white. In the test session in Daytona (Roar before the 24) they had them in white but the rumor is that they will run in a retro scheme.
Peter Lombardo Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Nice and simple and very clean...... I have done 2 of these snap Ford GT kits, ( one in Gulf Oil colors and one white with Martini stripes ) and yes, they do look very nice for a snapper. I am looking forward to building the Revell Le Mans version when it finally gets to me and also the street version from Tamiya like you. P.S., for the mirrors try this, fill in the "hole" with plastic or even putty and then cut some bare metal foil for the mirror. I do it all the time.
Funkychiken Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) Looks sharp, love it! Edited January 10, 2019 by Funkychiken
