Scale Models Of Shelby & Ford Cars
« on: November 09, 2020, 11:32:16 AM »
I think there was a thread on forum 1 on this topic ? I thought I would start a new one, didn't see any thing specific on this forum.

I'll start by posting photos of two Super Coupe models I have, the dark car is a resin 1/43 kit from Automodelli, an Australian

 company, the lighter car is a 1/43 built up from Matrix.

The main thing I wanted to know which of these is the correct colour ? It seems to me I have seen photos of the real car in B&W

and in colour, and the shade varies, in some it looks darker, and others lighter, was the 1 to 1 car different shades in its life ?

Is one of the 1/43 models Guardsman Blue and the other Viking Blue, or neither  ? Thanks for any input.

Let's see what you all have in models.

Mike

PS: the dark car needs a second layer of white stripe decals because of bleed through.

Looks Viking blue - completion was overseen by Brock so I imagine it's the color he originally intended for it. https://drivetribe.com/p/bedridden-bodybuilder-1965-shelby-ZdR904tLTReo4duh9Os5iQ?iid=aQPmFYotSlK6BSU2FoYbRA

TJ, sorry for the tardy reply on the Daytona Super Coupe models, in my OP the dark car (which my builder painted the wrong color

  ::) is a 1:43 kit from Automodelli in Australia, I've had it a few years, but I think the company is still around. The lighter car (a

 built model) is from a company called Matrix, also a couple of years  ago, probably easier to source than the kit.

Since there has been lots of discussion on the forum re: Jim Morrison's Blue Lady, '67 Shelby, I came across this, maybe every one

 has got it wrong and are looking for the wrong car  ::)  Racing Champions seems to think it was a '68  :o I wonder what the

 licensing costs were on this one, to Ford, Shelby, and the Morrison estate ?

98SVT, are you referring to the J Car model in the photos in my post above , when you say you want the "breadbox" ? The models

 are not for sale, but I can give you some ideas as to where you might source one.

If there is a kit, or resin conversion, inquiring minds would love to know. Mint Models shows  preorder for a Spark 1:43rd for$79USD.

Yes - I finally came up with one of the old MPC Clear body 1/24 ones but would like other scales too.

To sell the red Hertz would be far worse than any divorce. It will be for sale in an estate sale I suspect. My estate. Who knows how long I have? Certainly not I.  Unless some financial disaster should befall me before I kick my air addiction. Or some such other disaster I would not see on final approach. So 843 will come on the market in time.
