Ford GT-40 (1/25) (fs)
Factory sealed
This GT-40, resplendent in America's international racing color, is the one driven by Californian Phil Hill (World's Driving Champion, 1961) and Bruce McLaren of New Zealand in its first outing at Le Mans in 1964. This original GT-40 was to become the prototype for all the winning Ford GTs. As most GT modeler's know, Testors acquired rights to the original IMC tooling, and reissued the Ford GT Series as straight reissues even maintaining the same product codes and box art. The only thing that changed was the name on the box from IMC to Testors. Since the Testors kits came after the IMC kits, the Testors kits tend to sell for a slight discount from the IMC originals.
Being a very complex kit with about 150 parts and having a tough skill level 3 difficulty rating, this model is only recommended for fairly accomplished advanced builders. Kits from this "Famous Fords Series" have been amazing modelers for decades. The intricate level of detail and authenticity set the bar higher for future kits.
