Ford GT Le Mans- Take 2
1
August 29, 2023As I build, I’m going to take a photo of each step. Step 1 completed, I did change the paint scheme up a bit, instead of the black interior I went with a grey this time in hopes that the details would show a bit better.2

August 29, 2023My own paint scheme this time, a deep amethyst purple that I custom mixed with a gold accent.4
August 29, 2023Step 2 completed: Again, some minor paint changes to enhance details.
This kit came with seat belt decals, and I opted to use them instead of making seat belts as I did before.

August 29, 2023OK, so much for a photo of each step, building the engine was far to step intensive and boring as I did not paint it until the last step. So, here is step 8, the engine and putting the engine and interior on the chassis (step 9).7
August 29, 2023Step 10 starts to add the roll cage. The thin roll cage bars were warped, used twist ties to hold while the glue set up.8
August 29, 2023Step 15 installs the dashboard. Applying the decals on the steering wheel was tricky with the molded buttons, should have sanded the steering wheel flat first.9
August 29, 2023Step 16 completes the roll cage with the mesh.10
August 29, 2023Steps through 26 add air intakes.11
August 29, 2023Steps through 33 add the suspension and brake systems.12
August 29, 2023Here it is with the body and chassis connected. After painting it, I sprayed it with 2 coats of Future floor polish, then applied all the decals, then another 2 coats of floor polish. I left out the side and rear windows so at least if you look closely, you can try to see some of the interior and engine bay details, but most are now hidden.

I enjoyed building this kit so much, I bought another one. Want to try my own pain scheme this time.
