    don´t know yet which colour to use for the rims, painted silver/aluminium for now

    looking at pics and videos of 1966 they look darker and sometimes have a golden touch

    the kit decals are c**p, they tend to tear apart, no good quality
    but my dad somehow managed to apply the instrument decals by securing them with Microscale Liquid Decal Film
    gonna buy aftermarket decals for the exterior

    used a black marker for the window/glass frames
    the windscreen has to be inserted from the inside, sadly it´s not a good fit
    the other windows gonna be inserted from the outside

    decals finished

    although they are sealed with clear coat, still the one or other little piece brakes off, have to do some more touch-ups

    Fantastic GT40, Reinhard @grimreaper
    Excellent progress done, thanks for sharing.
    Those Fords were, and still are, very impressive cars.
