Bryan Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 (edited) Another MFH kit....these have been conspiring to keep me away from LSPs for some time now. Difficult build....some instructional/engineering problems with the kit that made it so....but I guess that is to be expected with limited run kits like this. For those of you not into cars, the 1962 GTO has recently been bringing $50-60 million when they go up for sale. So while it is not an LSP, the real thing sure seems to be worth more (to someone) than nearly any aircraft! Thanks for looking.

Astro32 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Nice! I've got the old Revell diecast in that scale. Not bad for what it is, but it can't hold a candle to this kit! I'd like to tear it apart one day and rebuild it with the detail sets available for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Stunning build Bryan. Any thoughts to doing a WIP on one? I'd love to see one if you ever do. Carl Astro32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolly Roger Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Stunning build Bryan. Any thoughts to doing a WIP on one? I'd love to see one if you ever do. Carl Yeah, me too. I'd like to see you build one step by step. Beautiful build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Buddee Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Wow Bryan! I've been doing this modelling gig for quite a while now and all I can say is that's about as close as anyone is going to get to a perfect build! If there's any flaws, and I'm sure you're probably the only one that could spot them.....please promise to never let anyone know! Like Harvey said........Sexy! In my opinion there are 4 cars that fall in to that category for me. The '58 Mercedes Gull Wing, the '65 Jaguar E Type Coupe, the '67 Corvette Stingray, and the '62 Ferrari 250 GTO. You've absolutely done the GTO proud! Cheers, Wolf Hubert Boillot and Joel_W 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 That's beautiful, love the finish. I made the 1/24 250TR a long time ago and that had a few fit issues as well. I do still get tempted by the Lancia 037 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Stunning, indeed! And some of the best photography of the colour red that I've seen. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Bryan Speculator build of a very difficult kit; simply beautiful work of my favorite Ferrari and I'm sure the Commodore wouod be proud. I nearly completely agree with Wolf's list of favorite classics but mine wouod be just a tad different: '65 Jaguar E Type with the top down, '67 Corvette Stingray, 427 Shelby Cobra roadster or fastback and the '62 Ferrari 250 GTO. :thumbsup: Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Boillot Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Beautiful GTO Bryan. And good tastes, Wolf, although, like Peter, I'll put in the Cobra instead of the Stingray in my top 4 (but keep the 300 SLR ) Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the comments guys... I agree with most of the comments regarding iconic cars, but for models I am most fond of the "pure" competition cars. So what I am dying for them to release is a 1/12 Porsche 917/30 in the Sunoco colors....Mark Donahue's car. They already make the 917/30 in a smaller scale...so maybe it will happen some day.

The 917/30 was crazy! a zillion HP in a car shaped like a queen-sized bed. Astro32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrov27 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 fantastic GTO there - really great. That kit looks mighty challenging as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Paul Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Stupendous Job! Man I wish I could do even a fraction as well as you do on a model car.. As to the list of favs..Call me old fashioned but I still love a good ole GT-40! Keep up the great work Bryan. 25 GT-40's is at about 9:05, the spitfire MK 9 was a nice surprise too in this vid.
