Wow! Stunning! AMT's kit I assume? You took the time to remove the molded in wipers and add kit ones. Which ones did you use? Stellar. What are the colors?


Excellent photography as well.

Thank you all.

I’ve been making models for many years, mainly aircraft.

Wipers are made by myself.

Color is:

  • Silver: Motip spray
  • transparent blue: Gunze C50
  • Clear: Gunze GX100

Antena is made of medical needles.

I’ll put some photos from the construction, soon.

I wanted to build Ford Mustang really, but that’s what I saw on the auction website:

It was a typical, old AMT model:

I cut out the door handles:

I got rid of the sidelights and emblems:

And the wipers:

I cut out the air inlet and pasted the stripes of polystyrene on:

Thereafter out of the stripes:

I made an imitation of the garnish mouldings:

I got along with the vinyl roof:

I used alternately black matt paint and gloss one. Low pressure and from the long range:

All of the body was painted with silver Motip spray
