Beside the fact it is a Ford GT and not GT40 , thanks it was difficult to tell since it has Ford writings allover the box as if they didn't want to let us know who did it
Of course I could have checked the underbody as I just did LOL.. but who the hell is that Beanstalk Group? never heard about them and the quality is quite good!

Beanstalk is also in charge of the 1:18 scale James Bond models of the Vanquish, XKR, and Thunderbird...I believe they also produce the 2002/3 Mustang coupe and convertible concepts...and yes, the quality is quite good on all the ones I've seen at a pretty damned good price too hehe.

Yup yup...the cars can also be bought in kit form...that's how I built my GT last week...I got the Yellow one...it kind of goes with the Exoto Ford GT40 Mk2 that I have.

Nice car. A bargain compared to the UKP 6MM+ for the real thing

It looks like it is intentionally darkened to make it seem a post race GTO - I am talking about the dark shadows around the wheel arches, air intakes and rear - dust and dirt after a race..
