jparsons1969 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 This kit is a Revell 1966 Ford Shelby GT350. When I picked up the kit at Hobby Lobby, I bought some Pearl Green airbrush paint for it. Upon opening the kit I saw the blue racing decals and decided white was the way to go for the body color. I really should have went back and got Pearl White airbrush paint, but I rattle-canned it gloss white and applied several coats of gloss clear over it. This kit went went together really well and I did a better job on the dash panel than usual as my hands are not very steady. I really enjoyed this kit and thought it turned out pretty well. Thanks for looking.
soldier0829 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Looks good! I HATE the hood decal on this car. I'm on my 3rd GT350H because of it. Looks like you managed pretty well.

Looks like you managed pretty well. lol, your not the only one! Ive got to where i mark the location of the stripes and brush paint some white, blue or gold (depending on the color of the stripes) before applying them, then soak the decal with MicroSol or MicroSet till they sit kinda flat.
hvymtl Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Very nice looking car always a sucker for a Shelby Michael
nodanger Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 I am just about to start the same kit. Still tossing up between white or red for the body color. Having seen your model, I am now leaning to Wimbledon white.
rustybill1960 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 It is a fine build indeed! Thank You for sharing Later Russ
jparsons1969 Posted March 12, 2014 Author Posted March 12, 2014 Thanks guys. Yes the hood stripes are a major pain. You have to scrape and press and keep working the wrinkles out without tearing them. Then, if your lucky like me one side falls off onto a piece of black electrical tape and sticks to it. You can see the blue color is pulled off of the passenger side. Every model, every model I try to assemble comes out with at least one blemish. Every time. Foil? Not me. That's just a can of worms I do not want to open. I would make a major mess out of that.
1 bad55 stan Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Yeah thats a nice build alright,Your work is very good.
