Shelby GT500 - AUTOart

My newest addition arrived today, a Shelby GT500 Concept by AUTOart. I was going to wait for the production version but I got sick and tired of waiting! I prefer the hood vents and rear S H E L B Y lettering like the concept's anyway. Plus, I picked it up for $48 shipped! Not bad considering how nice this model is. Lots of detail, exceptional paint and AUTOart really nailed the look and stance of this car. Another thing I noticed too was the models heft. Finally, an AUTOart that won't blow out of your hand on a windy day! It weighs about 4 lbs.

Enjoy the photos!

I own #587/3000

Thanks!

It's the best GT500 in 1:18 scale currently made, even though it is the concept.

A few more I took outside today:

Amazing work, and great model to boot. I need to build me a light box and get a macro lens.

Thanks for the kind words dude. Yeah, I never posted shots of my Mustang over on DX. Once I get done my diecast project, there will be MANY pics of the project AND my car together. It will be something to see once its done.
