Wide body Shelby Series 1 1:25

[GvEman]

Hello I have just started to build a widebody shelby Series 1.
It is a revell kit and I have already built it once... but it lookt terible so i started with it again. I do't make this thing by the purpose to looking great... I am making this projeckt to learn. I ame going to build a Toyota Supra later and I want some practising before i starts to cut in the supra body...



I ame supose to make new sideskirts a new front bumper and the boddy widining. And also make a bigger hood because the stock one is to thin and when you put the boddy on the frame the engine will lift the hood...

The widening are made of a butter can.
I hope that i have the time to putt the putty on tomorow..
and remember i am a

A suggestion on your headlight situation. Was the kit supposed to come with headlights? If so, contact the manufacturer saying there were missing parts, the will either send you a new kit, or send you new headlights.

How much longer do we have to wait for more pictures??? I am tired of waiting.
