This is an old Revell Monogram kit of the early GT 40, i dunno how long i have had this one but the decals have been eaten by silverfish! the cabin and engine cover are both squashed out of shape, the photo in the instructions shows a nasty gap between some of the moving panels so im gunna build this one as an out of the box and paint it black to try and hide some of the defects, this is as far as i have got.

Looks good. I'd have been tempted to pinch the engine for something odd.
