Well folks I needed something to fill between build commitments.
This is the subject.
I will be posting some spru shots very soon.

The spru shots.
Actually Pretty good detail with this one.
And the decals.
And to be honest I have begun. I have begun the painting of the body.
The first two layers of the painting.
First was a layer of Testors Gloss Black. Once dry I sanded it out a bit with 1000 grit to get some of the blemishes to minimize. I then sprayed Alclad Polished Aluminium to give it a "metal" base layer.
After this I went with the first color. Model Master Enamel Artict Blue Metal Flake. I will allow this to dry then I plan to move into sanding out some of the blemishes that have occured. I will then hit it with another coat. I plan to build up the paint and then on to clear.
All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged.
Interesting leyering
Nick.
Just hope it works.
Looking good so far.

Many thanks my friend. I hope it lives up to the hype.
Build on..................
There were very few of those "R" (R for "race") GT350s (37 IIRC). Those were Shelby factory race cars. If I'm not mistaken the box art car is one of the Eldlbrock sisters cars. Each sister had one, the blue with white trim, and a white with blue trim. They raced the cars and as far as I know they still own the cars. They now run the company. Again if my memory serves me correctly that blue color is called Sante Fe blue. Again, this is from an old memory and any input on the subject would be welcome. This is an interesting subject and I look forward to following the build. I think that the engines in these were 289 Cobra engines and were black in color.
Ranger many thanks for the information.
The body has color.
The color is Model Master Artic Blue Metal Flake. I just did not have the specific paint.
Decals are now also on. They are setting up and I will have pictures soon.
Nice affect can't wait to see it completed
Many many thanks.
The decals went on ok.
All things considered though if faced with the same situation I would paint them on. As it is they are on and have been glossed. I was planning to polishing this up but I believe I will just leave it. It has a decent shine to it and looks pretty good.
So here are pics of the decals.
With those now done I can begin to work on the actual stuff in the instructions.
That looks good Joe. I don't know how much you want it to shine but if you want more out of it you can always break out the Novus 2 and then follow it up with the Novus 1.
Beautiful it dose have that hot wheels look to it
Lol! Hot wheels look? I haven't heard that before.
its like painting on top of chrome gives it that metal look .match box had nothing like that in its day untill 1968
Not sure if I am going to go for more shine to be honest. I do have the sanding pads as well as the Novus to finish it off but not sure yet.
How shiny is the real thing?
mustang1989 How shiny is the real thing?
To be honest, I really do not know.
I found this pic just this morning for a paint shine reference. I posted it in your thread at "the other site" as well.
Great picture and will help a great deal. Thank you.
This is really looking great Joe.
Many thanks my friend.
A small update.
The under parts and the interior tub get some paint and a bit of drybrushing. Semi Gloss Black, Model Master Metalizer Stainless Steel, and then Testors Flat Aluminium.
Next will be detail work on the under parts and such.
Well after a bit of a lengthy break I am back.
Work continues on the Mustang with engine work, chassis work, and work on the interior. Trying my hand at wiring the engine again. Hope it works better than the last time.
Next up is to finish with the plug wires and assorted wires and cables.
Til the next time.
Looks good, but what is with the spaghetti?
Many thanks. No spaghetti, .010 rod that is painted yellow to give the engine some contrasting colors.
