R-model Shelby Mustangs

[65slotcar]

thanks Kenneth,  nice work  on your r-model .    you might  want to start over with the Monogram/ Revell   r-model kit.  it will comes  with correct back  window, but i would  use the resin cast front apron.  way  better  then kit apron .

I still need to find a set of those taillights. I still need to add the license plate bump on the bottom as well before I paint it. I totally spaced on that. I actually built up the rear on mine to make sure I had the right look. 

the good  tail lamps  with seperate  red lense come in  the 1/25  amt mustang  kit.

 

a little  work  on engine compartment  and  a look at future  decals.

ok  ,this project is back.  anyone who has built  a Monogram  r-model shelby  knows the front apron  is garbage.    did  a little modification.  cut  off  top section  on body  and glued  to apron. finished  with a little body filler.

How did you get the front valence to fit so flush?! I may need to do this with my build!

Maxx,  i used a hobby saw to cut off  top section and then  i glued to apron.  i used a flat file and a sanding block to make flush.  a little body filler was used to get it flat on top .    Hope this helps out.

Amazing work. I am attempting to build 2 cars together and getting stuck at times, can't imagine trying to handle 9 !

thanks Pierre.   i started  9  but  really getting burnt out  on working  on  the same parts  over and over.   also ran out of the nice wheels  i wanted to use ,   So i will be happy  if i get 6  finished.   too  many other  projects that i have started  and really want to finish.
