Shelby 427 1965 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 So if you hadn't noticed by my name... I'm rather fond of Shelby. Though strangely, I haven't built very many.. Odd. I picked this kit up while I was on a school trip in Berlin. Here's hoping it'll go well. I know it isn't accurate but.. Inspired by the old Fords of the 60s/70s, I painted the block blue instead of black. I haven't done very much.. but I'm priming the body. Once I've done that and decided on a colour (I'm really finding it hard to decide.. I've a couple of schemes I'd love to do.. All black... Gun Metal with black stripes... I could go on) I'll have the inspiration to go on. Watch this space! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I have a soft spot for Shelby's as well and I will be watching. Good luck ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooltas Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 leave it white and use the same blue for the stripes as u did the motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby 427 1965 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 No thanks, I don't like these in white, not menacing enough Body primed.. Painted some parts, did base coats on the interior stuff. It'll all be touched up, obviously Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby 427 1965 Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Just a small update. Mostly just waiting on the body, really. Should get spraying it tomorrow.. I've done mist coats on it. It's gonna be metallic black, no stripes. Interior mockup: Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby 427 1965 Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Cheers! It's this Revell kit here: I reckon it's probably the same as the Revell USA kit, reboxed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby 427 1965 Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Cheers you two! Small update. Interior main stuff is finished, just need to do decals. It's still only mocked up for now. Did about 90% of the underside work. I sprayed the body today, the colour is PERFECT. Can't wait to get it clearcoated tomorrow, and then I'll upload pics of it. Cheers!

Shelby 427 1965 Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 Small update.. Some decals done, and interior finished. I'll have exterior pics soon.. I promise. I guess the camera really DOES show every little mistake you make.. it's just as well most of them won't be visible when it's done. Cheers!

Shelby 427 1965 Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) One body, finally clearcoated! Just needs a wax. I proooobably should have dusted it before I took these pics. Ignore that! Cheers! Edited April 26, 2013 by Shelby 427 1965 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby 427 1965 Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 Last update before it's under glass. Still some work to do.. It's definitely got the sinister look I wanted anyways. Thanks for looking everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
