1968 Shelby GT500

New cast of old mold. A lot of flash to be trimmed and Every part needs work to make fit properly. A kit more suited for beginners or to add this specific car to a collection. An experienced modeler can make this into a nice build. If AMT ever retools this kit and upgrades it, I would build it again, otherwise I recommend this kit only to beginners.

molded in Green . It was molded in color so the younger modeler's could build it with out having to use paint untill they have built up the skill's to do so . you will find some flash now & then some of the mold's need to be retooled a littel . That's ok it take's alot of money to just make one mold for a model . So having a littel flash here and there is no big deal that's part of the hobby is cleaning the part's sanding a littel here and there . If there are any model contestt in your area go to them talk with the people tthat have been building model's for yr's and they will share idea's to help you out . It's a hoby to have fun in I look at it now as making 3D art .

I really don't have a lot of good things to say about this model kit the mold seems to be very old there's a lot of Flash a lot of mold lines a lot where the pens were too deep into the plastic that you have to file sand and fill after a lot of work you can make the car look decent but it took a lot of work for me to get it to look like I wanted I did a lot of modification to it I also added a larger rear spoiler and a front spoiler and a hood scoop so I could use the Cobra parts if you use them you have to put a hole in the hood I would recommend that you buy this kit because of the price but you need to be an experience modeler to be able to do anything with it or if you like a challenging kit to customize like I did...
