Yes, I have those pictures. I thought about it but adding that can cause fit issues and will not likely be seen. It would also require the plumbing from the turbos to the intercoolers to the intake. Not sure but I think I'll resist temptation this time.
Thanks, Ismael

Looks great even though the parts don’t totally match the 1:1. It’s interesting that Revell didn’t include any trace of the turbos since that’s one of the distinguishing features of this car.

Hello, Just to say I did something about it, I searched around in parts boxes and came up with these little things. I have no idea what these are supposed to be, but now are part of a boosted setup. In the real car these look like throttle bodies/MAFS. Thanks, Ismael

Ismael, Those parts really do make quite a huge difference. Joel

Hello, If you allow me an indulgence, I noticed in the reference pictures the racing seat has a little manual air pump. I suppose there is some adjustment like lumbar or something similar. As seen here: So I indulged my overcomplicaditis and added that. I know it will not be seen, but that is for my own pleasure. Hard to photograph so it is overexposed. It even has the dial to release air. Hey, I've never claimed to be normal! Thanks, Ismael

Ismael, Impressive attention to the smallest details. I know for certain that I would have by passed it without a 2nd thought. Joel

Hello, Just one more indulgence: Added air hoses to the air conditioning / ventilation system. This is the underside of the dash. You can't see them even when looking from the top, much less once in place. But I know they are there. Thanks, Ismael

Ismael, Those hoses really look great. So many details will only be known by you, and of course us, till guys like me start to forget, which I'm really doing a lot of lately. Joel

This photo suggest that the full scale cars are fairly close in overall size. I wonder where Revell-O-Gram messed up. ??

Hello, Interior and engine are pretty much done. Starting to come together. The roll cage did put a little fight but nothing major. Still a long way to go. The number decal in the dash is incorrect. It should be red for car #68. For 2016 there was no Michelin or Ford Performance decals on the dash. Just the car number and a GT decal. and a short video: Thanks, Ismael

Stop right there. You have created a work of art. Set it on some jack stands and don't cover it up with body work.

Ismael It's really coming together now. Your attention to the little details surely makes this a special build. Joel

That's looking great! I'm eager to see how you tackle painting the the body. It looks like masking the area around the transoms, or whatever they call them, will be a challenge.

Hello, I'll be out next week on business travel so this will most likely be the last update in a while. By the way, anybody here from Houston? I'll be there for the week. Upper and lower A arms and carbon brakes done on the driver's side. Instructions are not clear on the brakes and are not accurate. The roll cage part on top of the engine is loose. It will be fixed in place after the air intake is installed. Thanks, Ismael
