This is another member’s take on the Ford GT 42154, and it’s good to see more of you building this one. Two separate members, two different angles on the same kit. These photos are from an earlier build earlier in the month, so it sits nicely alongside the other one going up shortly.
Ford GT, Le Mans livery
The white and blue on this kit is not just a colour choice. It is the livery from the 2017 Ford GT that won Le Mans outright, exactly 50 years after the original GT40 swept the podium in 1966. Ford went back to Le Mans specifically to mark that anniversary, and they pulled it off. That history is baked into every piece of this build.
The butterfly doors open, there is a working V8 engine block under the bonnet with visible pistons, rear-wheel steering, and push-rod suspension all round. For 1,466 pieces this is a properly dense build with a lot going on mechanically.
The 2017 Ford GT was built for one reason: to go back to Le Mans and win on the 50th anniversary of the 1966 GT40 1-2-3 finish. Ford ran the car in the GTE Pro class and took the win. This kit captures that exact car, that exact livery. The stripe layout and the blue-white colour split are not generic race car graphics, they are from a specific moment in motorsport history. Worth knowing when you are building it.
Big thanks to this member for sending these over. If you have built a kit from Brick Club and want to share photos, drop them to [email protected] or post them in the Facebook group. Always good to see what members are building and how they are getting on with a kit.
The useful thing about a second or third member build is that it stops the post feeling like a one-off. Different builders notice different parts of the same kit, and the photos always come out slightly differently.
That is why I keep publishing repeat builds when they come in. If a kit keeps being requested, that tells me something about the library. If members keep sending photos, that tells me even more.
