Revell '65 Mustang Fastback

Hi guys! can this be converted to the "eleanor"? thanks!

it would be neat if it was an "what if!" but to get an accurate eleanor you will need a 67 fastback shelby!

you want the AMT 67 Shelby GT350 kit. and PSF Hobbies is supposedly making a conversion kit to make it into Eleanor.

It can`t be converted to be an exact replica without alot (ALOT!!!) of work, IMO. From the pictures below, you can see from the different angles that there are many subtle differences between `65 body style (same as the `66) and the `67 unfortunately. :frown: I actually built this one below as an Eleanor "inspired" `66 Shelby GT350R cause I liked that body style a little better, and the AMT kit was horrendous IMO. Risko did an amazing job with the `67 that was in the contest. It may be worthwhile to check his WIP if you want to go that route.
I built this one like forever ago:

elanore inspired, that is obvious, you said nothing about how GOOD it looks.

I'm working....ok, I'm thinking of a project of a 64 elanore convertable. No, it's not accurate, but who cares, I think it's going to look good. that's what matters.

do what you want, build for yourself. and show us the work.
