ukfiveo Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 After a long absence from modelling, I recently got the urge to build a replica of my full size GT500. Using the Revell kit with KA photoetch parts I am hoping to get a decent result. The real one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukfiveo Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Wheels are the biggest headache, I have Shelby CS40's, they are a modern interpretation of a Halibrand. Any ideas would be gratefully received. I have the KR wheels & a set of Pegasus vantage coming that may work combined? I have begun with the engine. I have modified the supercharger to resemble the TVS that is fitted to my car instead of the stock Eaton, the engine is painted to match factory finishes. I have also modified the front splitter to more accurately match the factory piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukfiveo Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 I have ordered Keith Marks decals with metallic blue stripes to replace the kit items that are a solid blue. Been also working on the dash, with signature plaque & Pioneer radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakshow12 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Just have the wheels printed. I have all the pieces to build my 07 40th anniversary convertible but the razor wheels. And I'm playing with parts to build my 14 500 as well. I will be following this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukfiveo Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Hi freakshow, 3d printing is a bit of a black art to me! Would someone be able to create the design & print? Without it costing as much as the real ones did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakshow12 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 There are a few guys on here. Pm chief Joseph. He would be able to help you. They won't be super cheap but they will make the difference in the model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukfiveo Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 Bringing this one back after 5 years! It stalled due to starting a new job and sourcing wheels. The real car now has a set of TSW Nurburgring wheels and I found a close match from a resin caster in Europe. They are on order. Previously I had painted the body with Tamiya rattle cans, opened up the front grilles and modified the Eaton blower to resemble the VMP TVS on my car.
