Craig Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 This is AMT's 88 Mustang GT. I built this one as a film student's car from the 1980s. As I was a film student in the 1980s it is inspired by true events. However, I didn't own a Mustang back then, I was driving a 1980 Monza. Anyway, this was a fun build, weathered with artist pastels. The only issue I have with this kit is the headlights. I stripped the chrome off and painted and weathered them. It's a shame it doesn't come with clear headlights. Ah, well, I'm happy with how it came out, and I hope you like it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vamach1 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Looks very realistic. Did you apply techniques from experience from weathering military models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, the only military models I've built are aircraft, and I've never weathered them too much. The Mustang was a lot of trial and error, things I've picked up here and there, and looking at pictures of my own car after a drive on a sloppy winter day.????

Scott8950 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Very nicely done. I noticed it has 84-86 halo headrest seats, did you add those or do they come with the kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought these were more interesting looking.???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
