lawes87 Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 HI All this is my recently completed GT500, this isnt AMTs best kit to build but is an old kit re-release, I have only used a third of the box anyway and used alot of after market/ 3dPrinted parts and scratch building to make this one more interesting. please follow my instagram where i post all my builds instagram.com/lawesscaleauto really happy how this one came out :)
shoopdog Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 Great looking build, I really like your under carriage detailing and the basket in the back.
Snake45 Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 Very nice, very clean build! Well done and model on!
espo Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 Very realistic looking. great paint and I like the heat discoloration on the exhaust.
vamach1 Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) Yes this kit is still around since AMT never bothered to convert the 67 GT350 to a 67 or 68 GT500 for some strange reason. I guess someone would ask them if people still buy this 50 year old kit why make a new one. Anyway, you did some great mods, especially the exhaust system and door handles. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to see under the hood. When I've built this kit I always end up bending the front bumper ends down as they seem to want curl up. Very nice work indeed. I also like that you cut the stripe at the doors versus one continuous decal. Edited October 31, 2019 by vamach1
LouO Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 Another fine Mustang! I really like the heat discoloration on exhaust. Great color blue for the exterior too!
MrObsessive Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 One of the nicer '68's I've seen! ? Were the wheels from the kit? That was one thing I never liked about that. Those look very nice and look a lot like Plamoz's resin cast ones.

Glad you notifced the cut detail its a small decal, simple to do but obviously adds a huge realism to the build (really thick decals to which wernt great). this was my first mustang having mainly ever build modern cars but wanted something could experiment with and learn different techniques lucky to have a few elenors I plan to build in future as well as dome different year mustangs

landman Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 One of the nicest ones I've seen. Love the roof shot.
David G. Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 Paint looks great! I also like the heat scorching on the exhaust. David G.

Those wheels couldn't be beat for accuracy and it's a shame they discontinued them so soon. I was fortunate that I get a set when I did for my Green Hornet and I hear that Plamoz is trying to get the wheels back on sale before the end of the year. I hope so, as I'd like to grab another set for another future Shelby project.
