    Fifty years after scoring their first victory at Le Mans with the GT40 Mk II, Ford returned to Le Mans with the GT40-inspired, Eco-Boost powered Ford GT for competition in the GTE-Pro category, as well as US IMSA racing in the GTLM category. Campaigned by Chip Ganassi racing, the car scored class wins at Le Mans in 2016, and the 24 hours of Daytona in 2017 and 2018.
    This build depicts the 2019 Castrol Ford GT of Ryan Briscoe, Scott Dixon, Richard Westbrook.
    It this video I will show how to upgrade the rear defuser with the thinner sharper Classic Racing Resins rear diffuser. The Revell kit looks great. There are some mold lines that will need to be sanded out, but that is typical in model building. I recommend cleaning the body as it seemed a bit oily. Clean with tire bleach and scrub down with a fine scratchpad and be sure to prime the body before applying color. This fit of the kit is acceptable, I highly recommend test fitting. If you aren't in a hurry, I'd recommend building the chassis up, first, then test fit the body before any painting. Not seen in the video, is I had trouble fitting the body onto the chassis. But all-in-all the car looks nice, built up.

    I'm so glad I found your channel because you have 2 model car builds that I couldn't easily find anywhere else. The LMP3 and this beautiful 2019 Ford GT Lemans car

    Very nice! Reminds me so much of the XJR 9 in the Castrol livery used at Daytona.

    • @ClassicRacingResins
      @ClassicRacingResins  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, it does! I really like the Castrol schemes and I think a lot of others do too!

    Did you snap the 2 pieces together at the end or did you have to paste them

    Very nice, I did not remember you having an upgrade for this kit.

    • @ClassicRacingResins
      @ClassicRacingResins  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      No, its brand new for today. I didn't really show it too well in the video because I did that shot weeks ago and I have since improved the resin diffuser. But I'll promote it better, tomorrow.

      Thank you. Glad you found it helpful. As I get the hang of doing these videos, I try to add more value into them. Trying to balance entertainment and education is a tricky process 😂

      The Model Car Channel looks to me like you are doing as well with the creation of your videos as you do designing and producing your kits. A+!

    GREAT Video and build Calvin. I have a few of those gt40's and with your defuser to add to it....I think it will be a cool build. Where did you get the Carbon fiber decals?

    I do use Walther's Solvaset. It's better than MicroSol. I'm looking forward to my kit's arrival along with the resin upgrade kit of the air diffuser.

    I see you had trouble making the body and frame fit. I can't get mine to match up at all. I guess it goes back in the box. That's pisses me off.
