Believe That You Can Reproduce A Legend Yourself

What kind of driver and racing car could push themselves to the limit and conquer the opponents on the wet and slippery track in a rainy night? Ken Miles and his light blue racing car are an undisputed answer. At the end of the sultry rainy day in France in 1966, Ken Miles and his Ford GT40 Mk.II became a new racing legend with their stable and fearless performance.

MENG will release a new officially licensed Ford GT40 product, the RS-001 Ford GT40 Mk.II ’66 (Pre-colored Edition). This 1/12 scale MENG product includes completely painted car body, chassis, engine and cab interiors, and it can be assembled without glue. Without the tedious assembly and painting process, you will only need to prepare a side cutter and then enjoy the process of building this speed legend replica.

This RS-001 Ford GT40 Mk.II ’66 (Pre-colored Edition) kit’s car body has been finely painted. The shiny paint surface needs no further treatment.

The interiors are also completely painted. The painted parts bring more realistic mechanical texture.

The assembled model features several openable and movable subassemblies.

Don’t worry about having no time or condition for precision airbrushing. Everything is done on this RS-001 Ford GT40 Mk.II ’66 (Pre-colored Edition) kit. Just enjoy the process of building this masterpiece which has been designed based on the experience our team has gained in the past ten years. More exciting updates will come soon. 

The latest information on this kit shows us the full deal in full colour, with all of the features of the kit illustrated in the pictures below...

All of the underneath exposed, front hood off, doors open and rear engine bay opened up...

The front hood space, showing the spare tyre and the straps used to secure them in place

These straps are made of a very fine cloth that looks pretty good in 1/12th scale scale

These straps are also used for the seat harness of the driver with metal buckles...

The rear of the GT40 showing the large metal mesh engine covers at the back of the car...

Twin exhausts popping! A very sexy be-hind on this car indeed...

The chromed-metal parts included for the door handles are shown here...

An illustration of the engine compartment opened and closed to illustrate the range of movement.

The same with the doors...

The whole thing in a expanded view - not bad at all, we are looking forward to seeing this in more detail...

The whole thing under the body panels showing you all of the parts included and the intricate nature of the detailed assembly is here...

The details of the front suspension are improved by the metal springs and vinyl sleeves. A little painting will get an excellent mechanical look.

This is the more complex rear suspension. This large scale model has the advantage of having so many details which layer upon layer like the real thing adding depth and interest underneath as well as the outer shell.

The steering wheel is linked to the front wheels.

Electroplated parts and decals on the centre console and instrument panel are outstanding

The photo-etched parts are easy to install and the result is excellent.

The two front seats are designed with digital sculpting to have realistic texture.

Water and oil hoses of the engine are represented by the more realistic vinyl parts.

Ford V8 engine with a displacement of 7L. Full of presence, you can imagine the sound from this in real life?

The large exhaust stacks of the 7L Ford engine dominate the rear engine bay, some of you may want to paint these to add your own heat marks to the largest feature to be seen under here...

The body shell is here, along with the doors and wheels for the car. It looks like the lower floor pan of the car, the front section and the rear engine cover are the three main parts of the kit. No exposed attachment points on the wheels there where the sprue is joined to them and doors that as expected, will open and close are just some of the features of this kit.

Some parts of the sprue, with distributor cap needing only wires, the big radiator to keep this nbeast cool and some of the suspension parts of the kit can be seen here...

This kit has pre-chromed parts thatsome will like, some will make their own chrome. Rocker covers, engine part cover, wheel parts, even the rear-view mirror is chromed ready to drop in. Hopefully the attachment points are hidden on the kit.

The aluminium and chromed wheels and tyres are on display int he photo below, you can see the "Goodyear" trye decals below that, as well as decals for the  instrument panel or dash as you like to call it.

The decal sheet of this kit. cars #1 & #2 from the team are here so some variation for modellers (or those that want to show two cars 😁. The famous cars of Ken Miles/Denny Hulme or the No.2 car of Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon are depicted here. 

Ken Miles in his GT40 Mk.II at the 1966 Lemans 24 Hour race. This just happens to be one of the markings included in this kit...

...Also now included in the kit boxing is the rather schmick looking black car from the same race - the No.2 car of Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon 

The air grilles of the kit are supplied in photo-etched metal, so these can replicate the correct thinness of the body metal or even damaged if you like - the harness buckles for the spare tyre are also supplied in metal parts here. Notice that none of these parts are connected to anything around them, stuck in place by the sticky back that protects them, so there is no sanding or snipping to remove them.
