Mustang Madness Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 This kit was a Revell "Monroe Handler Street Racer" released in 1979, It was one of the first models I ever built back in the day, I found one on ebay unbuilt a couple weeks ago and snagged it, but instead of doing it in it's original Monroe yellow and blue, I opted for a more regular color choice. Wheels are out of a '68 Mustang kit, tires are from the Monroe kit, exhaust tips are aluminum tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustang Madness Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) Nice to see another one of your builds -VERY nice!!!! -I've been eye-balling one of these kits for a while now. Any issues with it?Hey Dan how's it goin' .. thanks for the comment, there was no issues with it, I was working on the AMT 1:16 '65 Mustang and I was getting a little bored with it, I bought this off of ebay and started on this one. I got this done over the space of a week and it went together nice. Tires are a two piece deal and they're like a hard vinyl type material which I didn't care for too much but the kit went together pretty well and i'm happy with it. Headlamps were just chrome plated with no clear lens, so I used some Testors clear plastic glue and built up a lens on them to try and disguise the simple chrome ones they used.

Chuck Most Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Love it! A lot of people hate the II's, I see them as a return to form for the Mustang after the Fat Albert, almost "Diet Thunderbird" years of '71-3. I'd really like to see this kit reissued one of these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DumpyDan Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I remember these, I built one back in the day and it never looked like this, really nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang Madness Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 There was something very satisfying building this kit, one, was that I had built one back around 1979 and I felt like I was revisiting that time again and, two, it felt great to be building a kit that was produced in 1979 and had somehow made it through 37 years without being built!
