DeAgostini/Altaya 1/8th Le Mans Ford GT40

My best mate had the full kit but asked me to build it for him. Added details to the engine, rebuilt the dashboard as the supplied one was a bit poor on the details and some weathering to make her look like she had done her warmup laps.

Another epic build up, she looks fantastic, mate!

Fantastic, Didnt get a sense of how big it was until your hands entered the frame! As always a spectacular model from the 'hellhole' :)

Warning I also subscribed for the 1/8 GT40. I received 14 months of subscriptions then they stopped arriving but was still charged. I’ve reached out to DeAgostini several times over the past few months. Their response they’re working on it. Still no resolution

Im not fan of this kind of kits by suscription (are sooo expensive, their flaws) but your work is great with this one too. Congrats, I envy your mate 👍👍👍

hello good morning. I am about to finish it and I would like to know if you could tell me what type of battery it takes to make the electrical system work. I'm from Spain and I'm building it with the Planeta De Agostini publishing house but these don't include the battery and they couldn't tell me what type of battery it is🤷🏻‍♂️

Absolutely fantastic details! And the "warmup lap" painting looks realistically good. How did you made it? Is it possible to do this by myself with 1/24th scale or smaller models?

[philmcrae]

Hi, which parts did you use for the dash and carbs? Are they available to buy from somewhere? It looks great, thanks

[sharifhaque]

Do you have to paint any parts? Or are can you just fit them without having to do anything?

[sharifhaque]

How much does it cost to build the whole model after receiving all parts? And how long does it take to build?

[merakrut]

The worst part is the front roof line, so wrong.

Be very careful buying anything from ModelSpace. They sold me something they didn't have. I was asked if I wished for the parts be sent when in stock but said they didn't know if they would ever be available. DeAgostini, CuttySark is now $500 worth of kindling for my fireplace. be warned.
