um big. nice work -
Ok guys Im off work today and tomorrow so this and the mini trucks will get some attention. Starting off a few pictures under natural sunlight. (wait sunlight in ohio? whats happening there?) This is the basic look minus the stripes, headlights and final details. I think all the motor oil im around has blurred my phone's camera permanently.

A theme? Naw just an obsession with shelbies and the color blue. Thanks

Thanks again guys, freshly painted body now to wait for the paint to dry... In case anyone has ever wondered the color i use on my collection its sapphire blue metallic rattle can from testors cap code 1639 and every single car has this paint. The only thing is no matter where i go on my property i can never find a dust free spot to paint.....

Thanks Y'all. Got her primed so now to figure some stuff out. Has a spoiler from 2004-14 GT. I found from one of my other shelby kits. Picture is sideways but youll understand.... I Hope... Also side windows turned into body panels. The 5.0 Badges were sanded off and wheels painted a dark metalic silver almost black.

They are back with this. 2015 Mustang, Ill shelby it up the best i can. Itll be a quick build. Remember blurry pics on workbench smooth pictures for underglass. Starting off with a reminder of what the blue crew contains at the moment. What im going for look wise What i have so far... It got to pose with my favorite shelby of all time the 67 GT500 428

Theres an old saying, that my grandma goes by and i too have acquired "Nothing in this world is perfect" that being said an accurate model would have to based and produced by the manufacturing company (ie Ford, Chevy, IH, Nissan, Tesla) from the same blueprints as the 1:1 and made in a scale fully functional factory. Then there would still be inaccuracies. Some are worse like the revell 90 mustang(so i here, i hate fox bodies so i wont buy this kt) and some better like IH rigs from moebius. Let people decide what is worthy what is not its all part of being human, but dogging this kit so hard that it sounds like you would rather gouge yours eyes out come on, let us learn for ourselves. Im ford truck and mustang guy so no matter the inaccuracy i will buy this kit as its new to me and looks decent. Enjoy your paychecks guys, i will in my own ways. On topic im hoping that the hood gets fixed although i may just be crazy and it might be accurate.

Although im happy with whatever semi when i stumble to that world of class 8 i am partial to Ford and the F6/750s in pickup and dumptruck form. Theres also the IH cousin of the F series. Call me a redneck or whatever but these big trucks were cool theyve influenced a build of mine. But hey whatever moebius makes itll be new and lot more accurate than revell and amt.
-
Geez some people are making this kit sound as bad as my first build of a skill 2 model. when i see its accuracy as more like my best build yet. How some see the kit (bare with me) i How I see the Kit Granted no matter my age ive always built sub par, this kit is definitely a winner in my opinion although for some reason the hood dont look right.

Thanks Mike. Well looks like the trucks will all in someway be getting v8s, i couldnt let the chev and datsun outrun my beloved ford then my dodge loving bro would dog me for leaving the dodge with a 4 cyl so that left all but toyota.. I call it the iV8 it was once an inline 4 so theres the i but also its an imaginary v8 also i. so make of it what you wish. Lots of modding to go.
