COMPLETE: Revell 1/12 Mustang Shelby GT500 FULL REVIEW

Truly awesome and drop dead gorgeous build. I hope I can do as well. My only comment would be that the cobra emblems seem just a tad too low but without a locator hole. that's got to be a difficult attachment. The stance seems right on for the non performance package (which is slightly lower).

I've got this kit, got it for $53 at a lhs here. Been playing with the wheels and what ifs.

These rims are from an r/c car, cut down and made a lip for the rear, and yeah it would have to be cut they the subchassis and the seats to get these to even get to fit.

Im planning on going at least this low with similar rims, a possible blower setup. The new hot rod magazine shows the one im building, except mine is going in the light green mustang color and stripes.

The gt500 looks killer, just got the kit myself. I was curious what would be a good airbrush setup for scale models? I've always used spray cans and have gotten good results on 1:24/25 scale but wanna take it to another level especially with the 1:12 scale. Any suggestions? Also was wondering if you could maybe email me pics of the gt500 so I can zoom in and check it out? Thanks

Very impressive! 3  up! I can't say i'm a Blue-Oval fan & i probably won't be buying this kit, well not for myself. If a mate or work friend wanted it/built, i'd most definitely recommend or build it for them 

What i'd really love  would be a new Charger/Challenger in this scale... Now i would buy a dozen of them 

Anyone have any inside info' if Revell/any other company has plans for a large scale new Mopar??

Cheers Cliffo 

As far as I know the 1/16th scale Chargers from Round2 are the only big MoPars out there.

I just bought this kit today. Ive been looking at it for a couple months. It was time for it to come home with me. I will be painting it Grabber blue. Looks like a very nice kit. I will have to try the marker on the windows as I cant paint straight. I also have the 2010 hotwheels of this 12th scale model. I look forward to building it. Those are some very sharp pics of that model. Very nicely done & detailed. Thumbs up on that kit. :)
