MonoPed Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Thought I'd share this with the group, I built this over a 3½ day period just before Christmas to give as a gift. Because of the truncated time table, It is box stock sans a new windshield to replace the badly warped kit piece. The interior is Krylon Pewter Grey and Duplicolor Hotrod Grey primer, trimmed with Tamiya TS-29 semi gloss black and TS-30 silver leaf. The exterior is tamiya TS-16 yellow, right over bare plastic and rubbed with Novus #2. All in all, it's a decent kit, I have another in the pile for myself, once I find the parts I need to finish it off. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom Zoom Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Glad I'm not the only one who can't resist an occasional speed-build. Nice work! It's a fun kit. My last 3 1/2 day build was also the '06 Mustang. I couldn't resist using Cobra Colors Tungsten Gray, great color for the 'Stang. OOB except for wheels/tires/brakes. I wanna build one suitable for track use next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonoPed Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 Thanx guys! Sweet lookin' Stang, Bob! How did you get the front down like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Zoom Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Thanks, I mount the brakes to the wheels and do a lot of test-fitting with the model set at the preferred ride height. I generally cut away stub axles and finally glue the wheel/brake unit to the suspension, sometimes it requires some grinding, sometimes some shims. Sometimes it's clean, sometimes it's a hack job This approach saves me a lot of hassle; I assume from the start that the stock ride height of nearly any given model is going to be unacceptable with whatever custom or stock rims I am going to use (only Tamiya and a few of the newer Fujimi Ferraris and the Gallardo have the suspension setup right). I'd be more careful if I were building for a contest, but generally I build for NNL's and am not worried if people can see the chassis or not I also had to grind some of the wheelhousing material away from the Mustang, especially in back.

adamelvis Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I love Mustangs. I have a whole stable of 'em, all from 67, 70, 90's & 2010-2015. All non-built up until now. Love the color scheme on yours !TCB,Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
