Thanks, I thought it was an optional color for that year Shelby because I found pics online. Further research showed such was not the case.

I have a 1979 release of this kit called the "Snakebite" Also nice job detailing the chrome tail lights. Thanks. It is not as accurate as it could be. The surrounds should be kind of a cast aluminum. I did not want to mess it up trying that. I used a red ultra fine point Sharpie and colored right onto the chrome surface of the "lenses". I left the ridges between the segments chrome because they are supposed to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve H Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Very nice, clean build Bill. That colour looks great on it. Coincidentally, I just saw the 1:1 version of that exact car this weekend. It was red with black interior in pristine condition, the owner had the dash face sent away for Carol Shelby’s autograph just before he passed.
