80's IMSA Mustang
vamach1 replied to Chinacar's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Very nice build. I built the same kit almost 40 years ago and the decals have pretty much held up and I did not even clear coat them. -
A cutout hood from the Johan funny car worked for the AMT and MPC Mustang kits but I do not think it will work very well on the Revell Boss 351 and Mach1 kits. Iโm guessing by this fall we will see an Eleanor version of a modified Mach1 kit and with the flat hood announced. At least that is what I hope happens since pre-productions shots have been out a while. I would also like to see a 73 Mach1 version with the larger front bumper and the 73 only Mach1 decals and a 72 Sprint which came with the flat hood. The sprint decals are from Keith Marks.

Who manufacturers these kits in US or UK??๐ค
vamach1 replied to Stanward VonDiederichs's topic in Wanted!
A search in Scalemates would be a good start. It has listings for resin, plastic and metal kits from the last 90 years. Once you narrow down when a kit was made the next challenge is of course finding one. You may end up searching for custom 3D printed ones for more off beat subject matter -
No #223 in the mail yet. Hopefully I will see it by the end of the month. Miami FL

Link below to a post in 2020 in a case some of you missed it. I still have not gotten very far with the DDP kit as I was not happy with the simplistic chassis and was planning to use a Fujumi kit as the base. -

Sometimes going back for a second look is enough to get the project going again. Glad to see this one taking a step forward. -
Automodello makes some beautiful resin cars and are priced accordingly. They are only sold as finished models and are not available in kit form. The detail in 1/43 looks the same as the 1/24 ones. Here is the 1/43 Mustang I along with a Cougar II and Bordinat Cobra.

TESTORS AIN'T WHAT IT USED TA BE...
vamach1 replied to Mothersworry's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I see what your are saying about the microscopic print. I almost grabbed a grey bottle instead of flat black because it was in the wrong rack at HL. I guess Testors has to squeeze all the legal disclaimers on the labels so someone does not swallow the contents. -
Very nice paint and modifications and additions to the kit.

Thanks. I did not glue the firewall to allow for some give in as getting the chassis to mate up with the engine compartment is tricky. Everything is a tight fit.

Since I already built the Boss 351 kit I was familiar with this kit. Lessons learned were not to apply some as the decal until the very end as I had applied decals #22 and #23 on the radiator support but while handling it to fit the chassis and interior into the body they came off and I lost them. One change I made was I used a different air cleaner since the 007 car was a non-ram air 429 C code. Comments are welcome.
