Ford GT40 Body Kit

The most legendary silhouette in motorsport, in a kit ready to assemble and customise

The Ford GT40 is one of the most recognisable racing cars in motorsport history. Four consecutive victories at Le Mans between 1966 and 1969 turned its low and aggressive profile into an absolute icon, both on the track and in collectors' showcases. Slot.it, a benchmark brand in the world of precision slot racing, brings back that silhouette in the form of a body kit under reference SICS18B.

Features and highlights

• Body kit: supplied unpainted and unassembled, allowing the enthusiast to apply the desired livery with complete freedom.
• Slot.it manufacturing: the Italian brand is synonymous with tight tolerances, high-precision plastics, and moulds that faithfully respect the proportions of the original.
• Reference SICS18B: official identification within the Slot.it body and accessory catalogue.
• Compatibility with Carrera Sport track: Slot.it products are designed to run on Sport track, compatible with Scaleauto systems, although it is advisable to verify the compatibility of the receiving chassis with this specific body.

Scale and level of detail

Slot.it typically works in 1/32 scale, the most widespread in the hobby. The body reproduces the unmistakable line of the GT40: flat hood, very sloped windscreen, and sculpted sides that directly reference the car that humbled Ferrari in the second half of the 1960s. Arriving as an unpainted kit, the level of detail of the mould is entirely at the disposal of the modeller, who can enhance every line with putty, primer, and their favourite paints —Vallejo, Tamiya, or Kaleido are common choices for this type of work.

Ideal for…

• Collectors looking to replicate a specific historical livery of the GT40 with maximum fidelity.
• Competitors wanting to build a racing slot car on an existing Slot.it chassis, using the body as a starting point.
• Static modelling or diorama enthusiasts needing a 1/32 scale GT40 body for a pit or paddock scene.
• Preparers wishing to experiment with their own aerodynamic tweaks on an authentic base.

Track behaviour

A body kit does not include electronics, chassis, or mechanics, so the final track behaviour entirely depends on the assembly carried out by the enthusiast. The geometry of the GT40 —low and wide— favours a reduced centre of gravity, which can translate into good cornering stability when combined with the appropriate chassis. Slot.it offers its own chassis and components that, in many cases, are designed to fit with their bodies of the same range.

Aspects to consider

As this is a body kit, chassis, motor, guide, braids, or wheels are not included. It is essential to have these components separately or to use an existing mechanical set on which to mount the body. We recommend checking the Slot.it catalogue to identify the compatible reference chassis before placing an order.

Frequently asked questions

Does this body come painted from the factory?

No. The SICS18B kit is supplied unpainted, allowing the enthusiast to choose and apply their preferred decoration.

Which Slot.it chassis is this body compatible with?

Slot.it designs its bodies to fit with its own chassis of the same range or family. We recommend checking the official Slot.it technical sheet or contacting us to confirm the exact compatibility with your chassis.

Is it suitable for competition on Sport track?

Slot.it bodies are designed for the Sport track ecosystem. Once mounted on the correct chassis and mechanics, it can be perfectly used in club racing.

Can I use it for a diorama or static model?

Yes. Coming unpainted and with a precision mould, it is an excellent base for both slot projects and dioramas or modelling scenes.

What paints do you recommend for painting it?

For unprimed plastic, it is common to first apply a compatible primer and then enamels or acrylics from brands like Vallejo, Tamiya, or Kaleido. If you are looking for very precise finishes in small areas, an airbrush is the most recommended tool.

Does the kit include any adhesive or decals?

The available information does not specify whether the kit includes decals or adhesives. We recommend checking the exact contents of the packaging before purchasing if this point is relevant to your project.
