Hi everyone, these are the images (again) of my build so far. For the carburetors I used Vajello black and brown washes on the interior walls, pin washed the gaskets and gave the carburetors a coat of a pale gold. The throttle linkage was painted with Revell black, aluminium and brass, I then picked out the fuel line unions in Revell metallic blue, gold and red, finally adding a little black wash into the air intakes. The headlight housings where sprayed in Revell matt Schwarz. I gave the brake backplate a coat of Vajello black wash and also applied it to the disc cooling vents. After sanding off a casting line the caliper and brake cooling tube were treated to a coat of Revell aluminium and finally the piston was touched in with Revell gold. I also treated the seats to a coat of black wash and rubbed it off here and there to simulate wear.
I would have liked to replace the fuel line with a braided steel one which 1075 was fitted with, I think you can just see it on one of the images, however I was too nervous of cutting the supplied one up in case it all went wrong.
Finally many thanks must go out to delboy271155 for his help and patience with getting my images and posts sorted.

Very nice start. Looking forward to seeing more soon.

Off to a great start.
I have this kit accumulating in my 'to-do' pile. I'll probably make a start on it when I have a few more packs but I'm going to modify it a bit and paint it to match a car a friend of mine owns...

Hi GlynD,
Off to a very good start with this build.
Looking forward to seeing your diary contributions.

Hi everyone I finally cracked on with my GT40 after many weeks of inactivity due mainly to not being able to get an acceptable modification of the fuel pumps but having got something remotely acceptable to me I was able to get stuck into the build and this is the result so far. I am really pleased with how the gearbox and rear suspension look and felt the need to post a couple of images. I have still got the roll bar to finish but that is taking shape now. I need to get some fine mesh for the small radiator and will be fitting some more piping into that area as well. Thanks for looking. GlynD

I think I was lucky to have hit a bit of a wall with my build so I wasn`t affected by the delay

Thanks Kev

Thanks John 👍🏻
