Technical Tip
To make it easier to mount the
tyre onto the wheel, you may
want to soften it by applying
gentle heat from a hair dryer
or by immersing it in hot water.
Do not overheat the tyre,
which can warp it permanently
– it needs just a little heat to
soften it.

still warm.
Seat the tyre properly on the wheel and ensure that it ts
evenly all the way around on both sides. Leave the wheel

The Shelby logo
Many parts of the real Mustang Shelby GT-500 carry the Shelby logo. Your scale model reproduces
the logos at each of these locations: the centre of each wheel, the bottom of each front fender, the
radiator grille, the tail, the steering wheel and the dashboard.

Handling and storing parts
The parts of your model are detailed reproductions of the parts of the original car. Because of this, they
are very fragile, so it’s important to handle them with extreme care when assembling and storing them
in order to avoid any damage. Pay particular attention to parts that have not yet been used, including
screws. Keep them in small clear plastic bags marked with the reference number indicated in the parts
list. This will help you nd them more easily when you need them.
When you assemble the parts, it is
recommended that you cover the
work surface with a material such
as foam, sponge, felt or other
soft material to protect the parts
against any knocks or scrapes.
The white stripes on the body are
particularly susceptible to damage,
so it is essential to avoid touching
them any more than necessary
and to keep them away from hard
surfaces. Any scratches or other
damage (arrowed) will spoil the
appearance of your Mustang.
Metallic-coloured parts are also
vulnerable, because the paint can
easily scratch or chip (arrowed).

Care of the parts
It is important to handle and
store your parts carefully,
whether they are to be used in
the assembly stage they come
with or during later stages.
Some parts are very fragile,
and must be protected against
any scratches and bumps that
might damage the paintwork
or even the parts themselves.
Spare parts
Some extra screws and other
parts may be provided as spares.
Store them safely in labelled
plastic bags, so that you can
identify them easily should you
need them.
