I'll just stick with the cheaper 1:24 Tamiya Ford GT. Not the same car, but still drop dead gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Meng's record, thats awfully tempting Oh im nit saying it wont be nice but this is more then to top level Tamiya, ZM 1/32 including the hk b-17. I almost forgot the new amazing airfix 1/24 scale beauties. Kinda feel more r&d goes into those then a car kit. But jist my 2 cents. dont get me wrong it Looks amazing Edited October 24, 2020 by Neo RadBaron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Definitely cheaper than if MFH had produced a kit of this car. For me, this kit is on the Xmas buy list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironman1945 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Thought about it myself... really enjoyed watching "Ford vs Ferrari"... which I know is a "dramatization" but nonetheless was very entertaining. Read somewhere that MENG is going to produce a 1/24 version...think I'll wait for that. Cheers! Dave/Ironman1945 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Yeah..............I gotta admit that one has tempted me for a while now. House needs repair, but damn sure is tempting.......... Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Got mine for £240 in the UK. I resisted and fought but eventually my birthday came around............. £500 sounds more like the price for the pre-painted version. Looks really good OOB. Now all we need is the follow on Ferrari 330... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee White Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Even in 1/12 scale, I think builders are going to be surprised at how tiny the car is. I saw one at a dealership that dealt with weird wheeled things, the GT40 looked like you could put it in your pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotsman Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 They are indeed small, an acquaintance of mine built a kit car GT-40 , using an old Ford Galaxy as a base , and it came out looking beautiful, except for the massive bulge in the drivers door, after all he's 6ft 8" And I was going to buy one of the Meng kist , but since £200 is my hard max these days I passed, something I may regret come to think of it Lee White 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbk57 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I have been holding out on this one essentially waiting for something like the Modeling news did. They have a great build blog going there now. There are good deals on this car now and then and I may buy when I can get a good price on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
