Thanks a bunch Jim I appreciate the links although I don't think I'll go with the engine replacement at the moment, this one is going to be OOB.

Cheers

scroll down to descriptions at bottom of page. Good luck finding these.

Mark thanks for the info I appreciate it.

Cheers

Thanks for all the information guys and fwiw I've placed my order for the kit.  It's only going to cost $30 AUS including postage so even if I make a complete hash of things it won't be that much of a tragedy.

Mark and Martin those models look outstanding, thanks for posting.

Mark what colors (brand) did you use for the blue and the orange/red (wheels) on your kit?

Cheers

Sorry all-one too many 'd's.  try www.modelingmadness.com

The GT-40 build was on Monday's 'What's New' link.

There is an aftermarket engine made by Historic Racing Miniatures - I got mine through Strada Sports and although mine is the Targo Florio version it is basically the same and can be adapted to all the GT40s

Darren,

I think there was an aftermarket engine kit made for this model.

Here's one that I built no problems it builds up quite nice.

Check this one out Darren - I think it speaks for itself.

 There is a recent review there.

Darren-this is not the same kit (year wise) but it might be a good indication of the kit you are looking at.
