S10man Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 My latest project. I started with the Union kit, and did a fair number of body mods to make it more realistic. Engine is fully wired and plumbed, lots of little extras like the brass surround for the carb, custom made shocks. Decals are Cady, paint is Duplicolor gloss black engine enamel + Future. Thanks for looking.
MonoPed Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Cool!! I've never seen one of those ex-IMC kits, built or not - nice work!!
S10man Posted February 20, 2007 Author Posted February 20, 2007 Thanks Brian! This kit ranks right up there with the worst from AMT in terms of fit and molding. I'm doing a MK IV from the same company, and it is 100% better in terms of quality.
bsoder Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I could swear I've seen this before..hmmm ....B
monsterman Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Sweet looking GT that detail work is nice
S10man Posted February 23, 2007 Author Posted February 23, 2007 Thank you everyone for your kind comments.
Guest zebm1 Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Yur a brave man Billy, I remember that kit. I bought one of tha Revell GT's over a decade ago instead....still haven't decided which Ford racer to model or if I will build it into my own entrant. :wink: Nice job turning a marginable kit into something nice. Zeb :twisted:
simonr Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 What a great job on this one!...I know it, because, I did one of this GT 40's and believe me, it does't has the level of todays models, despite, It was considered a high level model back in the 60's. I would like to share what I did (if you allowe me)with the 1964 Le Mans version of this model from IMC, specially for Monoped, who haven't seen one of this before. Simon
MonoPed Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Very cool, Simon!! I just got my hands on the recent Fujimi kit of the 1969 Gulf Oil GT40, and it looks downright simple compared to these two builds!!
S10man Posted February 25, 2007 Author Posted February 25, 2007 Good work on that one Simon. Tough little kits to make presentable, but worth the effort for sure.
ismaelg Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Nice job on both. A good friend of mine built the black one as well. I'll try go get some pics.
TimKustom Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Wow, nice work on both. Love the header on Simon's. I've got the Gulf car out of this series. Gonna build it one day.
