So if you hadn't noticed by my name... I'm rather fond of Shelby.

Though strangely, I haven't built very many.. Odd.

I picked this kit up while I was on a school trip in Berlin. Here's hoping it'll go well.

I know it isn't accurate but.. Inspired by the old Fords of the 60s/70s, I painted the block blue instead of black.

I haven't done very much.. but I'm priming the body. Once I've done that and decided on a colour (I'm really finding it hard to decide.. I've a couple of schemes I'd love to do.. All black... Gun Metal with black stripes... I could go on) I'll have the inspiration to go on.

Watch this space!

I have a soft spot for Shelby's as well and I will be watching. Good luck !

[Shelby 427 1965]

Cheers man!

leave it white and use the same blue for the stripes as u did the motor

[Shelby 427 1965]

No thanks, I don't like these in white, not menacing enough

Body primed.. Painted some parts, did base coats on the interior stuff.

It'll all be touched up, obviously

Cheers!

Nice work on the interior, again. (I really like your Charger.)

That's different. Never offered tan In the shelby. Maybe they should have. I like it

[Shelby 427 1965]

Cheers you two!

Did some work on the interior again, touching up.

Cheers!

[Shelby 427 1965]

Just a small update. Mostly just waiting on the body, really. Should get spraying it tomorrow.. I've done mist coats on it. It's gonna be metallic black, no stripes.

Interior mockup:

Cheers

^{I like this a lot and what a great interior color combo !!! care to say what kit it is ??}

[Shelby 427 1965]

Cheers!

It's this Revell kit here:

I reckon it's probably the same as the Revell USA kit, reboxed.

I am liking this car so much I am a heartbeat away of clicking the buy now button

[Dirkpitt289]

That's really coming along nicely

[Shelby 427 1965]

Cheers you two!

Small update. Interior main stuff is finished, just need to do decals. It's still only mocked up for now.

Did about 90% of the underside work.

I sprayed the body today, the colour is PERFECT. Can't wait to get it clearcoated tomorrow, and then I'll upload pics of it.

Cheers!

[CrazyGirl]

that is looking so so sweet !!!! , and I bought one Tomo , see what you made me do !!!!

[maltsr]

Very nice Tomo, keep it up

[Shelby 427 1965]

Thanks muchly you two, all comments are much appreciated!

[Shelby 427 1965]

Small update.. Some decals done, and interior finished.

I'll have exterior pics soon.. I promise.

I guess the camera really DOES show every little mistake you make.. it's just as well most of them won't be visible when it's done.

Cheers!

[Shelby 427 1965]

One body, finally clearcoated! Just needs a wax.

I proooobably should have dusted it before I took these pics. Ignore that!

Cheers!

Last update before it's under glass. Still some work to do.. It's definitely got the sinister look I wanted anyways.

Thanks for looking everyone!
