eheh, I love the modelling sections in my forum
Ronaldin,
Unfortunately there arent really NICE models of the mk.1 in 1/18th scale.
The only I have (and sell cause anyway a gt40) was an old die cast done by Universal hobbies.
As a "nice " kit I mean something at the level of Exoto productions, but as u all wellknow they only make mk2, spider and mk4 version (including a wrecked one I hate also just to see at..).
From what I know there are no good models of the nicer mk.1 in 18th scale.
Yes, I also have just bought a Boss mustang , but its a race version from 1970 (welly models),nothing so special in that finished kit, but anyway one of the few boss available here.
I strongly suggest to find maybe something nearer u for such models, cause surely the expedition will cost more than the value itself of the models,and I know some very good modelling shops in perth.
I am making an own battle to educate italy and italians to the beauty of the ferrari terminator...u know
Doc,
Damn..your modelling skill is really impressive!!
Surely that is not at all your first model, cause too many nice and precise details done by the scratch!
The Fujimi base is the only une usable to make a nice model of the 40.
unfortunately i think the body lacks in some points (mainly on the car badass), but anyway when finished they look nice.
I have saved somewhere some monogram Ford engines from the 1980s kits somewhere in my spare boxes, including some nascar v8 engines, already finished with cable and wires

perfect to fit inside a 40...exactly as in real ones
My hope is that company as THIS one:
http://www.modelfactoryhiro.com/shop/index.html
will take attention to our mk.1 (they already make a GTO that is simply impressive).
Otherwise we can also plan a new remoulded body (wider..surely) to fit on Fujimi kits.
..projects projects..
Paolo

PS.:..and today 917 Fujimi stock delivered

...is a shame also sell theme
