42138 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

We have a pair of Brand New Lego Shelby GT500. Genuine Lego! Buy 1 or 2? Both identical, unopened and complete! Experienced Technic builders will breeze through 42138 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, but for those new to the world of beams, pins and axles it’s a nice introduction without the head scratching that can sometimes accompany more complex builds. A solid chassis soon has not one but two of the pull-back motors attached, both driving the rear wheels. A minimalist interior follows, consisting of not much more than a steering wheel, a couple of seats and a rudimentary roll cage. Along the way, a lever assembly is constructed, the purpose of which is not immediately obvious. And then on to the bodywork, which is rendered in the same eye-searing green that was seen on last year’s magnificent 42115 Lamborghini Sián FKP 37. The green is broken up with a couple of white racing stripes that are partially brick-built, but mostly rendered by stickers, of which there are many. Looking at the set though, you’d be hard-pressed to spot the 30 stickers, as many of them are tiny badges, grilles and so on. When it comes to the large stickers on the roof, and those that make up the stripes on the nose, you’ll want to take your time. Where automotive exotica from the likes of McLaren, Ferrari and Porsche are usually one sweeping curve after another, muscle cars tend to be a little more agricultural in appearance, and as such, the straight lines of LEGO do a pretty good job of replicating the bruising looks of the Mustang, particularly from the doors on back.
