Received my DeAgostini Shelby a few weeks ago. Just starting some detail work. Finished 1-4. Waiting for my next shipment. Haven't done the silver detail on the air cleaner or valve covers yet. Rich rpmracing18 attached the following image(s):

I seen this on the SAAC forum about 5 weeks ago. I knew I had to have one. I have been building plastic model kits Since I was a teen in the 70's, mostly mustang 1/24 scale. I have built a few 1/16 and 1/12 also. I also collect Hot Wheels, Matchbox, M2 machines, diecast of all sizes. And, you guessed it, all Mustangs.
At first, everywhere I was reading about this model was in French or other foreign language and of course I couldn't understand the language. Then a member on SAAC found the model-space.com website and I bought me one.
When I get this DeAgostini Shelby finished, it will be my ultimate diecast Mustang.
Good to see another USA DeAgostini Shelby builder😊

Very nice work on the wheels, and a nice touch with the orange on the air filter.
