Porscheman Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 I wanted to build this one in 2013, but the holidays got in the way. I did some research on this one and the rarest color was Grabber Orange with white stripes, so I painted this one Tamiya Bright Orange, no clear and no polish. The interior was painted Tamiya's primer white and semi-gloss black. Decals supplied with the kit where used for the wood dash and door panel inserts. Tamiya's blue tint for window and AMT's RWL Goodyear tires replaced the ones supplied with the kit. Nice kit!!! Thanks for looking. Al
Johnny1973 Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Great job on the Mustang,Al .I like using Tamiya paints as well.
MrObsessive Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Totally sharp Shelby and gorgeous color! One of my favorite '60's musclecars! I bought this kit myself not long ago--------can't resist a muscle convertible kit that's got an uptop!
Speedfreak Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Very nice Al, like the orange. Where those wheels hard to detail?
jaydar Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Interior looks good with just primer!!!!! Nice looking Shelby. Joe.
jrherald420 Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 One of my favorite body styles. Great color too!
Porscheman Posted January 2, 2014 Author Posted January 2, 2014 Gene, The wheels were easy. Go over to Michael's and get a "DecoColor" extra fine tip paint marker in black. The markers make fine detail quick and you only need one coat. They also make a 6 pen set with black, white, red, blue, green and yellow. Great product. Thank everyone for the nice comments on my Shelby. Al Very nice Al, like the orange. Where those wheels hard to detail?

Lovefordgalaxie Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 This one turned out nice!! The color is great. I'm kind of addicted to Tamiya paints. It's one less worry you have using them, at least you know the paint will turn out nice. And I'm NOT working for Tamiya
Austin T Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 That shine is great! How did you get the paint so glossy out of the can? I am in the middle of building a Fiat 500d with the same color.
realgone58 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Very nice! Color looks right on! Leave it to you to be the first one for 2014. Didn't take you long.......lol.
Ramfins59 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Gimme a break Al...... day 1 of the year and you've got one done...!!! I can that there'll be no catching you this year...LOL.
PappyD340 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 BEAUTIFUL build Al, I must say you got it going on man, keep them coming!!
Porscheman Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) Thank you again guys. I just finished painting my 2nd car for the year, Revell's 70 Cuda and we're under a State of Emergency here in Jersey for the snow storm. So it looks like I'll have all day tomorrow to hopefully finish it. Be safe out there. Al Edited January 3, 2014 by Porscheman
