I am looking for advice and was hoping some of you guys could help. My teenage son is really into the original Ford GT40’s and I was hoping we could build a model of one together, especially since he’s stuck at home during this quarantine.  I’m having a hard time finding a Fujimi kit for less than $100 on the big auction site.  Is this my best option? Anyone know of how else to come by one? Are decal sheets available for this kit? He would probably want to build the Ken Miles car if possible. He’s never built a model car but I’ve done some fairly extensive modeling, just been a while. 
Any help or advice appreciated. 
Thanks,

Jed

I looked at several sites and it doesn't look like there is any availability of these kits other than the ebay ones.
Just a thought...Why not build the Revell 2017 Ford GT Lemans. It is priced reasonably and has good detail. Not the classic but still a GT.

Also, there is this option, altho a much more difficult build: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Union-Ford-GT-GT40-Mk-II-1-25-1-25-Memorial-Collections-Plastic-Model-Kit-OOP/233562659694?hash=item36616b5b6e:g:58wAAOSw9rJemf4j
