Shilton does nice models but they are built to order at a price out of my league!! He does not do a GT40 yet. But he has a Lotus 47 (it might be a 62) in the pipeline and a Chaparral 2F.
The Union is no match for the newer Fujimi . For a start it uses the moulds from the IMC 1960 kit in 1/25 scale. If you look closely at this kit the sill especially on the MKII have wood grains moulded in. These IMC moulds were sold to Testor and release in a series called the Fast Fords. Then the Japanese took them over and released some of them under the Union banner.
