discussion Johns '66 Shelby GT 350 R

[john i am]

Hi everyone while we wait patiently for the 1st of July (raspberry ripple sig) to begin I thought I might have a bash at this something I don't normally do often but a change from the usual stuff planes tanks etc can be quite refreshing.


So here's the box art but I might do a variation on this colour wise but not sure which way to go yet but have a few ideas in mind.View attachment 112848

And here we have the bits/parts not many so hopefully should be a quickie build.View attachment 112849

And the bright bits View attachment 112850



Thanks for looking any help/advice comments most welcome.


Progress to follow shortly................................


Cheers John

Will watch this see how the parts fit

 

[papa 695]

Think I will join in and watch this one John

 

[Paul Davies]

Got this stashed away. Looks like a good kit but needs a bit of work to tidy parts of it up

 

[flyjoe180]

Looks good John, a change of air for you.

 

[PhilJ]

Ooh nice, civi cars are not something I would imagine doing anytime soon but it would have to be American muscle and a 66 shelby would be a cracking place to start. Will be watching this one for sure

 

[Guest]

Nice start, hope you enjoy the build

 

[john i am]

Well it's been a while as I've being enjoying the great weather but as it was raining this morning I've had another dabble with the mustang and have given it another primer coat ghost grey over white View attachment 113715

Nice scribe work John, O would have either stabbed myself or the car would have been covered in scratches. Looks a nice kit.
