Ford GT 40, Le Mans 1966.
1/24 Fujimi, built for the Le Mans 100 GB, more pic's, details there, driven by Ken Miles and Denny Hulme, a controversial finish to this race !
my camera does strange things with the colour depending on lighting and background !
Great to see it here, Allan, the Gulf blue looks perfect, and it was a pleasure to follow your WIP.
Thank you George.
That GT40 turned out really beautiful, Allan @kalamazoo
This Gulf livery is indeed wonderful.
It was a pleasure to follow this car taking shape.
Thank you John.

Thanks Steve (@sjcorvi), yours look good also, you've not posted them ?
That's just beautiful scale modeling, Allan @kalamazoo! 🤩 Wow! 👏
Thank you Gary.
Beautiful job on a beautiful car. As a side note, I had the pleasure of driving one of the Le Mans cars after they returned to the States. Gulf Oil took them on a promotional tour of the US...they made them more or less "street legal" replacing the race engines with Ford 289s. My Dad was an executive with Gulf in New Orleans at the time and I was able to get a drive. I still have the Gulf Racing Team orange windbreaker jacket they gave me.
Man, what a great, cool story, Tom @trod348! That would be a dream come true for me, even at 72! 👍
Thank you Tom, lucky you, I can only dream !
You are so lucky and what great memory. One of my friends told me one day in the mid 1960s he was at a car dealership with his father. Across the street was a Ford dealership and they had a GT-40 there for sale at 12K. What a bargain and I cannot imagine its value today.
Nice work Alan. the GT-40 is terminally cool and always will be.
Thanks Tom.
My favorite racing car and a great job. Cannot wait to build my Meng kit. What paints did you use?
Thanks Kevin (@chenango55), a mix of Humbrol enamels, check the GB !
Classic car and your rendiditon does it justice. Well done, Allan.
Thank you Gary.
Excellent work, Allan. I might have to watch Ford vs. Ferrari again tonight.
Thanks John, always worth a look !
Looks wonderful, one of my all-time favorite cars.
Thanks Greg.
Great build. The finish looks spectacular.
Thank you Matt.
My favorite racing car, Allan (@kalamazoo). The paint and decals look perfect. Well done.
Thank you George.
It is hard to beat a Ford GT-40! 👍 And your model is a wonderful tribute to that iconic race car, Allan @kalamazoo! 👏
Thank you Gary.
Looks great! My brother gave me one of these kits for Christmas. Looking forward to building it this year. Your’s inspires me!
Thanks Scott, we all need inspiration !
Nicely done Allan. Love this car, I still have an Aurora Model Motoring HO slot car of this model.
Thanks Robert (@roofrat), do you still drive your slot cars ?
Sadly, the Ford is all that is left.
