James2 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) Carroll Shelby giving the GS Corvette a good look over. It's not perfect by any means, but it is finished. I struggled to get it this far with blind instructions, weather, paint and time issues. I learned a few things along the way and hopefully the #003 car will go smoother for it. This is the one of the A.M. kits, without P.E. parts and painted with Model Car World color match Pelham Blue. I use various Tamiya and Alclad on the chassis, wheels and engine. The flaws are pretty obvious but overall I'm happy, (To have it Done) Edited August 23, 2019 by James2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shambles Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Nice job! I've got a couple of Xoto 1:18 die cast Grand Sports, but have never seen a kit. Is that 1:25? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James2 Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 It’s 1/24 by Accurate Miniatures. The GS was built to beat Shelby’s Cobras. He was just being nosy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
