Very nice build and great video! I watched this since I am just starting a build of this kit and was looking for ideas and pointers. I will be going back and rewatching much of this. Thank you!!
Thank you very much - I hope it's helpful. There are shorter videos of the build with commentary as well here th-cam.com/play/PLKiQDI6u1XyBrl5KBtD9sHj6NnlHgwXvy.html
Oh wow, great work once again. Always a pleasure seeing you work your magic on cars you build. This GT40 looks great now that it's done, very realistic indeed. Well done Thomas 👍🏼👍🏼
This is a nice work! I'm working on the revell mode, and the biggest trouble is the Gulf blue. I'm looking in FS595 and the color seems to be the 15450. Not easy to find here in Italy... If you don't want to spend 25€ for a 125 ml bottle. Almost the same price of the model!
Thank you very much. Yeah, I had the same problem. As I don't have an airbrush, I bought a spray can of Ford Bermuda light blue from a car parts shop. I'm happy with the colour.
@@BOABModels Thank you for replying. You have a new follower. I'll try with airbrush otherwise I'll go for plan B and buy the spray. What colour did you use for the braking discs? I can't find the metallic brass....
can I ask you what color you used for the orange? I will buy me an official zerop paints LIGHT BLUE FORD GT40 MK II KEN MILES but not sure for the colour of Oraneg/red to use
Sure but it was just orange enamel gloss from a UK store called Wilkinson so not proper model paint. I'm sure Zero must have a correct shade too though. Good luck!
Many thanks. So I built this before I airbrushed so it was with spray cans. The blue was Ford Bermuda blue and the orange was just a basic gloss orange.
The problem with modern plastic models it there's too many small parts and bits and pieces. IMHO it's better to sacrafice some detail to allow more expedient assembly. Once the finished model goes into the display case the chassis detail becomes a moot point. I imagine many of these kits never get finished because builders get discouraged with too many parts.
I enjoyed this video immensely, the background music was brilliant, the build, out of this world, thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much! I appreciate it a lot!
A work of art, Thomas
Very kind, Richard
Love this build
Thanks so much, Sarah Jane
It´s like watching scale model Bob Ross x3
so relaxing
Haha! You're too kind! I have a lot less hair than he did though!

Great build. What did u use for the orange and blue
Many thanks. So I built this before I airbrushed so it was with spray cans. The blue was Ford Bermuda blue and the orange was just a basic gloss orange.
Fantastic job man!
Can I ask you what kind of blue did you use for that livery? Looks perfect to the original one
Thank you very much - it's Ford Bermuda light blue. I got a can from Halfords but I'm sure you can get it in a jar too.
Ok, Thank you very much for the information!
Great work! 👏🏻 Where’s the engine gone? 😢
Thanks Tom. There's not a full engine in this which means it's strange that they made the engine cover removable really!
@@BOABModels ah. That’s a shame. Part of the charm of the car.
Yeah, I agree. There are other versions of the GT40 like the Meng kit which do have an engine I believe.

Once the finished model goes into the display case the chassis detail becomes a moot point. I imagine many of these kits never get finished because builders get discouraged with too many parts.
This is why personally I'm not too fussed about curbside kits as I don't display the engines anyway. If they have one, cool, but if not, I don't mind.
