Just got an email from Megahobby. Trumpeter 1/12 Ford GT to be re-released around November :shock: Edit: Was Ford GT40 MkII Le Mans winner. Now the box says "US. Sports Car" License avoidance?

Grand Prix Models have added this to their incoming models page saying "at the end of this year".
Perhaps now we'll see more aftermarket stuff. There was a lot talked about last time around that never materialized. One maker was considering a full-on superdetail set but abandoned it saying the kit was just too toy-like.

I know this kit is lacking in detail, but is the overall shape at least reasonably accurate?

If it is the GT40MK2 Trumpeter, SMS said they wouldn't do a kit because there's too much wrong with it. However, I think
the model is pretty neat. You have to remember it is not MFH type money we're looking at. I got mine for 130 vs 600 for
the average MFH 1/12. ON the rights issue.. I think there was some talk of it around here with some insights shared as to
the background...
Cheers,
Roman
