oldscool Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 That is beautiful. Where did you get the carburetor? It's one of the best scale carbs I have ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Bacon Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Beautiful! Great paintwork and detailing. Love the underneath, bizarrely! For those of us who have a small Steve McQueen collection but not so much knowledge of Mustang kits, which kit is it from? Of course, for the full "movie scene" effect, you have to build not only the Charger, but the same VW Bug three times... ;-P best, M.

mrmike Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Looks really great, Marcos! This is the first model of the Bullitt Mustang that sits at the proper ride height like the original did in the movie. All the others I have seen sit too low. How did you modify the suspension?

cruz Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 Thank you guys, really appreciate your comments. Carb is from fireballmodelworks.com, they are absolutely the most beautiful and realistic ever made. The suspension was worked on a bit but not overboard. The front end actually had the most work to get it to sit right. Color is Highland Green Metallic mixed by my good friend Miguel C. Hernandez in Puerto Rico. Clear is 2K. Wheels are actual metal sleeves and kit centers were modified to fit inside. Though I am not sure Bullitt used headers, I don't think there was a way they ran this little monster without ones. That car sounded too sweet...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
