GTHO

This one is from Icon Models built it in 2008

awesome job

cool GT ford

love the GT-HO's
Those ICON kits are unreal, just haveing a struggle to justify the $ for 1 model, have you got anymore pics with some thing for reference to size,

Thanks for the comments.
The price wasn't to bad at just over $750 for car and spare motor.The later models are bit too pricey
The car is just on 60cm long(23.5'' in the old scale)
here is a photo with a couple of 1/12 Tamiyas

Beautiful model - I think they are releasing an Allan Moffat version too?

they have released both the 1970 and 71 cars

that looks incredable, does the kit come painted or do you have to do it yourself?

The kits come painted and half the assembly is already done.A couple of the later ones are already assembly
This one only took me 4 hour to do

did you modify or increase the detail with yours.
I have one too, that I'm building for my old man but I'm not happy with the wiring harness they give you so I'm redoing that for starters

I built mine box stock,yea the wiring harness was a bit of a pain i had use my big magnifier to see it

Good to see someone else has got one of these (ie just as crazy as me).

mine with a 1/25 scale XY on top of it:....

Icon was supposed to follow this up with a 1:8 HT Monaro - wonder if it will ever be done?

I can not for the life of me justify the price of this kit.

Nice but why can't the do a real car like a E49 Charger which was quicker than the HO.

Hey, love these kits, I have built four but all for other people the first one was built straight from box, the next I re-made the plug leads and detail painted some items, the last two I dismantled chassis and removed seams from exhaust etc, painted sway bars, shocks etc, like you would on a regular kit, the accuracy and value of these cars makes it all worthwhile..... Enjoy!
