vppelt68 Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 I'm hunting for a Monogram/Revell Shelby GT-350R, the racing version. If that can't be found, the H models appear plenty and can be painted as normal (white w/blue stripes), if there ever was anything normal with the Shelbys... 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the 1965 version ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 Indeed it is the '65, thank you Dennis! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redstaff Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Great news that it's going ahead, plenty of time to get something to build now I'm leaning towards the Tamiya GT4 as it should sit nicely alongside the AMG GT3 Merc I have on the go Just need to see if there is anything different to the grey box artwork as I think grey cars just look like they have glossed over the primer 🤔 Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a couple down towards the bottom of the page. https://www.indycals.net/decals/lemans.html Just noticed there is the 2018 Volt & Kohr Mustangs as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no car guru, but as far as I know all the American (AMT, JoHan, Monogram, MPC etc.) manufacturer's 1:24/25 Mustang kits do have an engine included. You must be the one to determine if they are detailed, or not. None of them comes with spark plug wiring, fuel lines et, but all the major components are there.

diases Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Looks like the Revell boxings have engines as well. Just need to decide 60's or modern. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to play with its bigger sister from America! V-P I will admit to owning a few Capri's in my younger years. My first car was a MkI; I wish I still had her now!! I built a 1:24 MkI a while ago now, also a Zakspeed Wurth. They're a tad dusty now but I might give them a once over with the airbrush and cloth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyW Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Here's one I'll be adding... I've got a Hertz Rent-a Racer '66 as well, although I think I may have painted the bodyshell. I'll have to dig it out to see if it's eligible. I'll also be on the lookout for an affordable Monogram '69 fastback, probably my all time favourite Mustang whatever engine it had.

Painting a bodyshell is waaaaay below the 25% mark - just bring it in, please. I agree with the ´69-´70 fastback styling being the best looking ever, and the ´69 quadruple headlight front just beats the ´70 edition 6-0.

The offer was good enough to get me up in the loft just now, to find out what's been done on the '66. The body parts have been primed in black and the primer has reacted with the soft Revell plastic a bit. There's a pebble like finish here and there that should sand out just fine. Other than a set of Firestone decals on the tires, that's it. The Mopar is part done, it's been like that for ages! I was in the same storage box as the Ford and made for a nice bit of colour for the photo. I might have to add it to the KUTA GB. Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Calypso Coral is my fav. I've been very tempted to track down a Comp Orange Boss 302 (2012).....but lack of garage space has curtailed that objective for now. Unless I decide to off the Cossie...but those are so rare over here that I couldn't bring myself to do it. I actually just won a bid last week on a couple old Elliott stock car kits (2 Monograms & 1 AMT). The AMT is started, but I've not really been a fan of the AMT stock car kits compared to the Monograms. So my intent for the AMT was just going to be spare parts. So maybe I'll see about using some bits (roll cage and maybe rear suspension bits to convert the GT350H or one of the 93 Cobras into a road racer. I do still want to build that Zakspeed IMSA Mustang though..... decisions, decisions. If only there was more time available to me, I'd just do an Enzo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimbledon99 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 So after originally wanting to build the Tamiya GT4 I had thought about the AMT '67 (my birth year) but have settled on the Revell '65 2+2 (after snagging a bargain on eBay this morning). Quick question; Does painting the body prior to the GB conform to the 25% rule? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyW Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 After having said above that the '69 Mustang is my favourite shape and year, I took a peek at what was available out there. Not with any intention of buying, just a quick look you understand. Here's how that one worked out. I now have a trio of Fords finest, including a Boss 302 that I had no intention of getting, sat here and ready to go! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redstaff Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Well that's my choice made for me then, Santa must have been reading my posts as he left me one of the Tamiya GT4 Mustangs under the tree 😁 His handwriting is very similar to the wife's as well, but I know it couldn't have been from her as she keeps telling me I have enough kits already 🤣 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
