Hello all

I have started this project since September and here are the progress pictures. Hope you enjoy!  

Chapter 1:

Ford GT40 P1075 monoque


I would like to make the door-open version


The engine cowl


Since the original kit is only provide a half engine, it is replaced by HRM resin engine kit.


Also, the oil cap in the front is replaced by Sakatsu item


Here is the test built


Happy modelling

Basically, I use PE cutter to cut for straight lines and for those curves / corners, I will use cutter to keep running along the mould lines and cut them bit by bit.

不用陪跑吧
每個 modeler 都有自己表達作品既方式
那麼每件作品都是獨一無二吧
你都砌番架

use the blade for cutting

Thank you for comment

yes and they are some of the GT40 by Fujimi

Chapter 2:

After sanding the mould lines, the fuel cap on the left was filled up by Mori-Mori, as usual.


For the seat, you can find in reference pictures that there are a lot of holes on the seat which is designed for better ventilation for the driver.
Therefore, I have used the PE rings to fill up those holes and I have spent totally 3 hours for 260 holes


For the chassis and the cockpit, gaps were found in between and it is necessary to fill up by using plastic strips. Also, the engine bay is a bit simple when compare to the reference pics and therefore I have expanded the engine bay by using plastic sheet again.


Stay tune

Thank you for the comment
Probably, I decided to have them in fixed pose.
