Thanks Gene. Overall I'm satisfied with the build yet there is always room for improvement.

Thanks Dennis. These Mustangs are nice kit to build. Thanks Beamerman. This is one of many great colors from Tamiya. Thanks Keith. I like the Tamiya Orange you used on your most recent build. It suits these Mustangs quite well.

Thanks Chris. Thanks Bob, and that seems to be the general consensus on the spoiler.

That is one spectacularly built and detailed Nova. The factory literature on the front seat is pretty cool.

Turned out great. And the dog dish wheel covers are always a good choice on a Nova.

Thanks Anders.

Outstanding work and meticulously detailed. Paint appears to be a bronzish gold which I like.

Thanks Jeremy. Yeah, oven cleaner or Super Clean usually does the trick. I've been there plenty of times myself.

Thanks Trevor. The Tamiya base coats definitely lay down well but it's the clear coats that can be difficult at times. Thanks Ricky. I intend to leave off the trunk spoiler but for me I think rear window louvers sort of complete the look.

Great looking build. I have a 1979 release of this kit called the "Snakebite" Also nice job detailing the chrome tail lights.

Sharp looking Eldo. Your trim and pinstriping work is perfect.

Thanks Gareth, I've built a few of these with four more still unbuilt. Definitely on of my favorites. Thank you Cliff. I wondered afterwards how this color might have looked with a red interior.

Thank you Larry Thanks Joe and I am a fan of this old Monogram kit.

Thanks Terry, color is definitely not typical for the these cars.

Very nice work on a model not often seen. Your foil work is excellent.

Great representation of the General. Your interiors are always nicely detailed.

A couple more at sunset.

Thank you David and yes I plan to leave off the trunk spoiler.

Thanks Lee. Thanks Bob and good luck in your search for the Mustang. Thanks Hector. Thanks Craig, I was going for a non traditional color. Thanks David, and sounds like you got a great deal on those kits. I have a couple more of these 429's plus a few 302's still unbuilt. Thanks Glen. Thanks Bill, I have the '69 kit and might paint that one in gold to have a matching pair. Thank you Ray. Thanks John. I like the Grabber Greens and Blue as much as anybody but understated is what I was going for with this build. Thanks Michelle. Thanks Patrick, it's true gold was not an option on the Boss 429's that year. Ford did offer a medium gold for the Mustang that year which bears some similarity to this color.

1981 release of the Monogram 1/24 scale Boss Mustang. Painted in Tamiya TS-75 Champagne gold and cleared with Testors glosscote. The trunk spoiler has been painted and built but I'm undecided whether or not to install it. While I think these look good with the spoiler I also feel it interrupts from the fastback lines. Whenever a hood is warped I normally drop in it warm water and it can usually been bent back to proper shape. I never had an issue with the hoods on this kit and never thought to check it prior to painting. The warpage has created a bit of an unsightly gap on the passenger side. It's my biggest disappointment with the build.

Your patience with the kit was rewarded with a great looking build Gareth. The process used to weather the engine compartment also looks good.

Looks great in that classic color combination. Nice work wrapping the styrene strips around the side windows. Did you polish the base color since it appears to be a non metallic or has that been cleared? Because it has fantastic shine.

Impeccable work as always Craig. I like your technique using a clear over the seats.

You chose a fantastic color Mike on a very clean build. And great job foiling.

Clean build and spectacular blue color. Is that a 30 gauge wrapping wire you've used for the spark plug wiring?
