When I had a restoration shop, we did several Mustangs and Shelbys in that manner. I stole those images from the web (Legendary Motorcars on Ontario) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250 Testa Rossa Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 Taking a break from doing the rear of the car and working on the engine bay. Took out the battery (R-Models had a trunk mounted battery), and replaced the area with styrene stock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250 Testa Rossa Posted January 15, 2023 Author Share Posted January 15, 2023 Starting on the window channels. I plan to have the windows closed, but still want to represent this car accurately. The piece was cut from a piece of .020" styrene sheet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smilesperhour Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Nicely done. A lot models seem to lack some of window trim details and they look fiddly to make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David G. Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Good call on the window frames. It's often the smallest details that make the biggest difference. David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

250 Testa Rossa Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 Working on getting the stance right. I had to cut the front spindles off, and reattach them in a different position. Here is the right side with the correct stance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

250 Testa Rossa Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share Posted March 25, 2023 Working on fabricating a new hood. Starting off with the underside by adding reinforcing ribs out of styrene strip. There are some joints that will be filled with 2 part putty before being sprayed. The mesh is from Hasegawa (Modeling Mesh 22) and the piece for the porthole is sheet styrene. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
