- For this video, I have a beautiful Fujimi 1/24 scale, Ford GT 40 Le Man's winner in 1968 model kit from Fujimi with a lot of fitting issues that you have to resolve in order to get a reasonable GT model. Also, some PE parts take place in nice upgrades on the steering wheel, rims, and seats.
The painting was nice and simple, with white primer as a base for Gulf Blue from MRP paints. I use 3 layers of paints; they have good coverage. After that, two layers of Mr. Hobby varnish.
The dashboard is very accurate and you can add some weathering colors to improve the overall look of the model. The seats take a lot of work, especially if you have photo-etched parts for each hole.
Overall, this Fujimi Ford GT 40 Le Man's winner is a good kit to build that will test your modeling skills and patience. Also, the price is reasonable and with PE upgrades you have a good-looking Ford GT 40.

Very nice model
Thank you!
54yo returning to this hobbie after 40+ years. One of the GT-40's is on its way in the post at the moment. Of course there is a how to do on YT. What an age we live in & your ability is awesome. Thanks for the paint information & if you don't mind, I am going to steal a few of your little custom ideas. Regards, Sydney, Australia.
Hey!
First, I just want to say..Thank you!
Second, a nice kit to build even it has some issue, like the back engine cover that is not fitting well and the front headlights that I just ...leave them in the box :)
Glad that you find useful information on this video.
Cheers!
best in class so far! I think it's the most beautiful scale model you've built so far! you play at another level, I don't think I'll share my projects with you anymore, haha 😋! amazing color and the PE parts are adding more realism, congratulations! you worked hard, but the result is worth the effort 👍🏻!
LOL, thank you!
I lost 60 % on my PE parts on the carpet.:)))
It is a beautiful kit to build with a lot of fitting issues and you can buy it at a low price.
I was lucky that I found Gulf Blue from MRP paints for the body.
For my next build, I have some Midnight Purple paint that I have to use :))
On what are you working on right now?
midnight purple is like gold dust :) I'm working on a Tamiya Mazda RX-7. Already finished the engine bay and painted the under chassis parts. I hope it will be ready in one week from now. Once again, congrats for your Ford Gt, it's amazing! I even showed it to my wife, she liked the color even more 😁.
LOL, I was just lucky.
The kit is awesome if you have enough time to work on it.
Weru nice 👍
Thank you!
❤❤❤
A PITA, but sad the bits of flashing were left on the seat eyelets.
Yep, my bad
It was an awful fitting on this Fujimi kit and I broke them while trying to adjust the borders
Nice! Well done 👍
