Shelby Mustang GT350 1967 AMT

[fazmodeller]

The Shelby Mustang is a high-performance variant of the Ford Mustang which was built by Shelby American from 1965 to 1968. For 1967, the GT350 model carried over the K-Code high performance 289 cu in engine with a 'COBRA' aluminum hi-rise. AMT produced a 1/25 scale kit of the 1967 model of this iconic muscle car. It is built Out of Box for a change and overall was an enjoyable build. Paints were Tamiya TS lacquers and Alclad metallizers.

These are a couple of serious Ford model fans, so, high praise indeed! Add mine as well. Model on!

Beautifully done ✅ Steve! The colour is the perfect fit for the Shelby. Back in sixty-seven I lusted after this ride while still short a couple of years from having my operator’s licence. This was the really the last generation of Shelby Mustangs before Ford took over design and production. 
Congrats on the build and thanks for jogging my memories... Cheers Misha

Fantastic looking Shelby!

SWEET! I am building one now. How did you do the detailed emblems front and rear?

Very well built. In 67 my parents had a 67 Mustang Notchback but like Misha, I lusted for a GT350 after seeing a green one with white stripes. This ranks high on the list of all time best AMT kits.

If I had to guess I’d say say Keith Marks.  I built this kit with his decals about 15 years ago so it’s little dusty.  I was surprised the LED flashlight I was holding to get a good close up made the headlights look very realistic.

If anyone cares the original 67 GT350 tire size was E70-15.  The kit tires are F70-14 and I assume from the groove in the sidewall they are supposed to be a whitewall or redline so I may do a tire swap on mine if I can find the correct RWL tires in another kit.

Thank you for the update. I appreciate it.

Thanks for all the kind words - mean a lot. It certainly was the easiest AMT kits I have built - Tried a NASCAR once - one of lifes great tests.

Gotta love a nice built 'Stang,  only thing I see that's off is the red engine compartment...
