Back after a Hiatus... Abarth 500.

[Shelby 427 1965]

Well some of you may remember me, it's been a while since I've been on here, but within the past two weeks I've gotten back into modelling in a big way. This was the first project I got finished.

Built box stock, painted a Ford blue, with some Gulf stickers and orange details. Only mods to the kit are a steering wheel and pedals. Fitment is awful on this kit as anyone will tell you, so I did the best I could. Licence plates were added after the photoshoot.

 

Thanks for lookin', all comments appreciated!

Two great looking builds!  The subtle Gulf classic paint scheme looks excellent on this build!  I have to ask; are both of these builds the same scale?  That vintage Abarth looks tiny sitting next to its younger brother!

Since I was last active, I've bought, driven and sold 3 different cars, thankfully the same girlfriend though...
