This Revell 66 Shelby kit has you do the body in step one. The extra parts have race covers where the rear side windows are. I am thinking of putting those in and not the clear, any thoughts fellow modelers?

Yesterday I have started a Revell 1/24 66 Shelby GT350H. I have taken the door handles off and have a little more shaping on the window where the molded wipers were.

Enrolled into a jewelry making workshop this week for something different to do. I have made a silver ring and have almost finished a bracelet and producing a set of earrings today. My wife is happy with her new trinkets.

Revell Samba T1 Bus, This kit is a level 5 my 1st. From steps 18,19 to 20 requires so much painting and retaping to have it ready. No rush all prep work is underway 😎

The Revell Samba Bus has an engine and a chassis finished. I used the colour change paint on grey primer for the underside. It looks a little pink under the bench light but it's great in the sun. The Interior is next but I will do that tomorrow.

Next build is a Revell Volkswagen T1 Samba Bus. I have been putting this one off for a while but it's not going to build itself. I will be painting it in SMS Solar Flare colour shift, red orange gold and a white roof.

This is my finished offering of the AMT 1968 Shelby GT-500. It isn't the best fitting car I have ever done but it was worth the challenge. Paint was Ford electric blue with Everest white racing stripes from SMS. I added seatbelts made a gear shift and use putty to fill a damaged chassis.

AMT 1968 Shelby is on its feet after the brass rods arrived with a quick mock up for stance. I have painted the racing stripes and drilled holes for the aftermarket bonnet pins, windshield wipers and side mirror. I also got a kit delivery I have wanted since I saw it.

I am waiting for some copper wire on order to replace the missing axle the rest of the underbody is finished. I might install seatbelts for the interior? I made a gear shift out of a pin head, high density foam and a bit of spare parts. What a hobby this is 😆

I have two of these kits one is complete and the one on the bench is missing parts. So far the carburetors, oil filter and a chrome fan are from the spare parts box. The single manifold is going to be modified to fit the two carbs. Two pictures from my local motor museum for inspiration.
