1/12 `65 Shelby Mustang GT-350

 

 

I can officially call this finished now, and finally. I started this back last July, starting from the Road and Track Revell kits from the `80`s. The kit took alot, and I mean ALOT, of work to get it to this point. I made alot of modifications to the body to try to get it to a convincing shape. If I had more time, I would`ve done even more with the roof line and A pillars. The suspension was lowered probably about 4-5 scale inches in the front, and about 2 or 3 in the back. The tires are the "skinnies" from the Corvette/Camaro Revell kit. I also needed to add alot of details that you wouldn`t expect. For instance, there was no radiator hose connecting the radiator to the engine. 
Because the kit was old, the decals literally disintegrated when they hit the water. So I had to go to the aftermarket, which is why the GT 350 doesn`t line up perfectly. 
Let me know what you think.
