A Tale of Two Mustangs

[Falcon Ranchero]

The confusing tale of these kits started when, in the '90s, my dad picked up and built the 1966 Shelby kit. He built it like on the box, but didn't like it because he left the plastic white instead of spraying it. So he took it apart and began in a different direction, by spraying it black. He got considerably far, then put it away until I finished it on March 30th, 2021. It turned into the Hertz GT350 rental car, though it was originally the Shelby GT350. Then, just last year, I had recieved kits from a cousin who didn't really have the knack for building kits, and a GT 350 Hertz kit was one of them. I figured, why not build it like the Shelby GT 350, and so the two Mustangs were originally supposed to be built as opposite to each other, but you can't tell the difference. The Shelby GT 350 (originally Hertz) had been attempted to be built, with the interior and windows put in with globs of glue; tricky to remove. Nothing was painted, and so the tailights were glued in so I figured I could pop one out with the exacto blade. Famous last words right there. I sliced my finger with the kinfe, and it would not stop bleeding, at all. I had to use liquid stitch to close the wound. That kit was completed October 20th, 2023, and I still have a scar on my finger.

I have two of the Revell re-issue of the Monogram 1/24th Shelby 350GTH to build.

Both builds look great.

Good-looking builds. Sorry for your injury. Be careful with that Exacto, got a few stab wounds myself. Lol

Great builds! One of my future projects is to build a '66 Shelby GT350H in each color offered. Believe it or not, they weren't just black!
