Must admit was thinking exactly the same. Will probably wait until the replacement decals arrive and see if I can match the colours.- Stefee

1/12 1966 Ford GT 40
Thank you all for your kind comments. Today was an absolute disaster. The kit supplied decals are the biggest pile of poo I have ever encountered. More than 5 seconds in warm water and they splinter and crack, the dimensions are off and they have a "mottled" surface when applied. I ended up...- Stefee

1/12 1966 Ford GT 40
Sorry for the lengthy gap between updates. Scratch built a device fitted to the real car, possibly a brake balance adjuster. Painted and lightly weathered most of the other components, still some more painting to be done to the fuel pumps, dashboard etc. Had a lucky break today. Was about to...- Stefee

Very puzzled and annoyed
As others have said it very much looks as if a completely different plastic has been used for the bodyshell. Do the sprues have a small square in a corner where it says the type of plastic eg. PS = polystyrene? Also does the body have anything legible stamped inside maybe on the inside roof? -

Just got another Airbrush, H&S Ultra 2024
I've had mine for a couple of years and use it for everything from primer, colour and 2k clear. I don't do really fine work so it's ideal for me. The only problem I encountered was paint build up on the horns of the aircap so bought a fine line cap which stopped the issue. Also had 3D printed... -

Caroll Shelby, who built the Ken Miles car for the 1966 LM 24h, had his workshop in a hanger at a small airfield and apparently "borrowed" various bits and bobs from the aircraft maintenance shops. I believe the blue/red hose fittings are aircraft equipment.- Stefee

A bit more progress prepping numerous components for primer. This is the gear shift lever and knob as supplied However Ken Miles preferred a spherical knob which I tried to achieve Not 100% happy so I raided the wife's sewing box and found this which I slightly modified - much better. Also...- Stefee

1/12 1966 Ford GT 40
Many reviewers of this kit malign it for being too toylike. This may be due to the enormous amounts of chromed components which although we'll done are too glossy and hides or softens alot of detail. Research shows me that the only chrome on the 1:1 were the button lamps (illuminate the numbers...- Stefee
