1968 shelby gt-500

[michelle]

this was a new kit i got last week  it is a mpc kit  
 i had issues with the stearing wheel sitting right ,and the frontseat centerp consule part did not want to fit unless it was further back then it should be. the hood would not fit the cobra engine if it had the carbs under the cleaner even though it showed it should . also the tires would stay on the wheel backs  it was like they were a bit to wide of  a opening for the wheel backs usually i have no probelm with that on new kits 
one of the grille lights and one of the side mirrors were missing on the chrome tree when i opened it 
other than that it turned out good i used testors extreame lacquer  de ja blue

Nice looking Shelby.  I have built a few of these and you can tell it's a 52 year old kit.  Someday I will finish the Eleanor version I started and painted the same color as your build.  I can send you the parts that were missing in your kit - I have many spares.

Looks good Michelle.  I have one,  though I have never built it and it sounds like it is not an easy kit to build.
