Revell Shelby GT500 convertible

[vamach1]

The build did not present any major issues.  The stripes are challenging especially around the scoops behind the door.  It’s Box stock with the intent of being eligible for that class in a future contest.  Revell really stepped up with all the extra decals compared to the earlier versions of the fastbacks.

Nice work and a great looking color. I've thought about buying this kit (or the coupe) but have always wondered how well I'd do with the decals. Your alignment looks very good.

Nice color on the body and wheels. Good looking interior also.

Nice looking Shelby.  Well done.

Looks great, I like the realistic looking finishes. Don't often see these built as a convertible. Clean looking interior.

Factory Gulfstream Aqua.  I ordered a very large spray can a few years ago from a paint supplier.

Nice work.

I am building one now. Mine is gonna be Black Jade. Those sport mirrors are the smallest that I have seen. Did you have any problems gluing them to the doors?

The mirrors were glued on before painting and I think I used model glue with some super glue reinforcement.  They could still easily break off though.

Rex,

My mirrors go on last. There is too much of a chance of knocking them off during final assembly I have knocked of stuff while taking pictures of my cars. I pin them as much as possible. These mirrors are much too small to pin.

Thanks for all the compliments everyone.  I had not built a Revell kit in a while and I was pleased how this one came out.
