68 Shelby GT500 (AMT)

[vamach1]

Here’s another Mustang build (shocker I know).  The Florida humidity was not very cooperative with painting but I pushed ahead as I have a good supply of these kits and I wanted to finish something before I pack up all my kits, paints and tools and head west to Arizona.  I used a few parts from the MCG photoetch sheet (grille, snakes and gas cap) and one of the kits I has had such bad chrome I stopped it and painted the bumpers black.  The only extra plastic part used was some emissions tubing from another kit for the 428 engine.  I thought the MCG wheel center caps were really nice but since I went with mag wheels I used them on a 1/16 Nichimo GT500 kit I built many years ago.  Thanks for looking.

Great looking Mustang. As for humidity, you won't have to worry about it in Arizona ! ?
