Hi david (and all);
I'm new to this forum, but have been building for over 50 years. I was particularly interested in this GT-350 because I have 3 of them sitting on a shelf with a "plan" to make two of them into the Camee and Christee Edelbrock sister's racing versions from years ago. I also restored and own a concourse 1966 Mustang GT convertible (factory) so I have quite a bit of research material and experience with the construction of the early Mustangs.
I really appreciate the effort put into this model because Revell did a pretty poor job on the panels and some other details. I suspect it was just a retool of the old Bandai/Renwal kit from the 1960's. I hope I ever get to really working on the Edelbrock versions, but of course they will need the race front end rather than the chrome bumper. Until I have that there's not much point in starting. I will include a link to my Fotki website if you want to look at the Mustang pics or other 1:1 cars I have or have had for reference...or at the models have.
But to one of the points of this post: I think this is a very, very nice build for sure. There is, however, one rather glaring mistake, and I think it is the fault of Revell or whoever issued the original insructions ( pulled them out and affirmed this). The radiator on all those Mustangs sits behind the radiator support, and not between the support and the grill. I'm not sure if this one could be moved now, but for future reference it should be placed behind. I'll try to post a pic if I can figure it out. Not trying to bust chops here...just trying for accuracy.
