"I Am Legend" Shelby GT 500

[StuntmanMike]

Hey fellas

Here goes my next movie model, the 2007 Shelby GT500 which was driven by Will Smith in the opening scene of "I Am Legend". It´s a Revell kit and except for a slighty lowered chassis it´s completely built out of box. The kit has everything you need to make an accurate replica. White stripes and even a correct dealer license plate is included in the kit. Parts and decals fit great and there are a lot of nice details under the hood.

Hope you guys like it and thanks for looking.

Cheers,
Kevin

Very cool! I thought the first picture was a real car.

Thanks a lot for the cool comment, Mole. Making people believe they´re looking at the real deal, is what scale modeling is all about.

Cheers,

I have an 07 GT and I must say this model is very cool...the dash and controls are spot on... I also thought the first picture was the real thing...

@vixr:
Even though you have edited your post in the meantime...your car rocks, very nice style. There was no need to remove the pics.

Cheers,

Looks great, im building two of the 1/12 scale revell kits for a job at work.

 

[StuntmanMike]

Thanks IED. Is building models your fulltime job?

Some days it is, mostly for court cases. Trial exhibits. We do alot of different things. Models are a small part of it. Mostly we crash cars and blow things up.

Thanks guys

@Pelco:
I´ll post a pic of the undercarriage as soon as I have my next photo session. But there´s nothing special underneath, just an unweathered plain jane. It´s as clean as the engine bay.

Did you guys know that there was originally a scene filmed, where Will Smith´s movie character stole the car from a dealer showroom? He jumped the car through the display window and took it for a ride as seen in the movie. There was also another scene where he did a car jump in the streets. The scenes were later edited out of the movie before it was released. Here´s a video of the street jump:
