youpey Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Can anyone tell me if the revell Shelby gt-350r kit with the blue car and white stripes on the box cover has decals with blue stripes? I wanted to make the opposite (white car with blue stripes). Or do I need to find one with a white car with blue stripes on the box. For some reason google doesn’t seem to know the answer to this, or my computer skills are faiding. This is the kit I am referring to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodent Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I looked up the instruction sheet on the Revell site, and there does not appear to be alternate decals. Maybe someone who has the kit can confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamach1 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 You can either buy an aftermarket set (Cady on Ebay) or put you request in the Wanted forum. I bet someone has a spare set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Junkman Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 There is a need for an aftermarket decal set and I've heard of at least one but it appears to be "vaporware". Nonetheless, there is this alternative with an actual racing history. http://www.v-r-m.com/vrm-003---mustang-gt350r.html and a few pictures from the race: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/44191640076742499/?lp=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64Comet404 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Vintage Racing Miniatures has a white/blue stripe set for the GT350R. The car they are replicating ran in the 24 Hours of LeMans. I have the decals in my collection, so I can confirm they exist. Hope this helps in your search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youpey Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 i suppose i will just try to find the white with blue stripes on the box to be sure. i was looking to recreate this car, which i dont know if this was even a real racecar. i found it by accident when looking for a different picture and fell in love with it.

They might be an aid in paint masking though. Your muse was used to win the 1965 SCCA B Production title, not always with the #3. Try Googling GT350 5R213 for more photos.

Sport Suburban Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Just to confirm that both issues only come with the decals to make that version pictured on the box. So no extra decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vamach1 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Shades of blue. Interesting Fred Cady did GT350R decals and included the R which was never put on a car. The R model was the race version but the side decals were the same as the street GT350. The stripes on the top were painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

250 Testa Rossa Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Came across this forum again, and decided to showcase the car I am trying to re-create in 1/24th scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
