Tiger89 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 A pair of Diamond Blue '68s. I used another Revell '68 Mustang kit for the front chassis section and engine bay on the Cougar. The GTE hood was a resin piece found on E-bay. I used custom-mixed Tamiya acrylics through an air brush and wish I'd used the can of aerosol automotive touch-up lacquer that I forgot I had. Both models have some flaws, but they were fun to build. Keith Marks decals used for the Cougar, and the tiny pinstripes were hard to work with. The 1/1 Cougar is an XR-7, 302/automatic. It would really be nice if Revell would do a '67-'68 Cougar like they've done recently with their new '67 Plymouth GTX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunajammer Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Not many of those Cougars show up in this gallery. Nice to see it and I like the vinyl top too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger89 Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 Thanks for the complements. I resumed building models earlier this year after about a 25-year break from the hobby. That Cougar kit was in its original side-opening box for a couple years before I finally decided to tackle it. It and the '67 AMT kit are getting scarce and valuable.

espo Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 These Cougars were very nice cars in 1:1 and this model shows that well. Interesting color combination that really looks good on this model. Nicely detailed engine also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phildaupho Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Very well done vinyl roof on an overall great looking model of the Cougar. I remember being very impressed with the XR-7 package back in the day. The dashboard mimicked those in Jaguars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repstock Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 EVERY model has flaws. In this case, they must be extremely small flaws. I like them both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
