Maserati Birdcage Driven by Carroll Shelby

I created the art and printed the decals. (Even did the tire decals.) Painted the body Tamiya TS-49 over TS-25. Had to replace the front tires and a couple pieces of PE that had been lost. Tires were machined from rubber vacuum hose; decals were made to replace the PE cowl vents.
I mounted it to a base to protect it from being handled. Faux cracked asphalt made from card stock and the base of the box it came from was brush painted to look like wood grain. It is 1/87th scale white metal kit produced by High tech Modell.
