These are ones I don't think changed. And to add to the "useless junk pile" the Motorsport Mustang underpinnings are a near drop fit on the Tamiya Turbo Capri kit. Naturally as the original car was a simple re-body of the Group 5 Capri. Just such a build was the subject of an article in the late and much lamented Motor Racing Replica News.

That's good news because that is one thing I'm planning on doing. I only recently got the Capri kit after ignoring it the last time it was out, they're pricey now and it took a while to find a deal.

These are ones I don't think changed. Both of those 'Mustang' kits are standalone kits and were never modified into anything else. They should exist somewhere.......not sure where. I love the kits......it's rare we get GTP and GTX type kits of any car. These were both partly funded by FORD! My builds....Great kits BTW Edited April 27, 2022 by Dave Van 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not waste a correct resin body on that kit, it is not worth it. At least to me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Dave, that #16 Car is killer! I really like it. How many liveries did Monogram issue it in? Is it really hard to find now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kits show up on ebay....price depends on whos lookin!!!! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Thanks for posting another build. I really like the GTX Cars. It has all the IMSA Flare Goodness, dialed up to 11! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean. It fits the Revell Vega chassis and looks very close to the Polar Lights chassis. Right now I'm not sure which best represents the time period.

iBorg Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Actually Jungle Jim ran both a Logghe style and a digger chassis. The Slixx decals can do either one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the Mustang GT on the bench now - building it as the "red" Miller version, using the Speedline decals.

Ace-Garageguy Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 You guys are killing me. Based on this thread, I just chased down vintage Monogram GTX and GTP Mustangs, fairly cheap. I had a built GTP to restore, but didn't know the GTX existed. Ford Aerospace had significant involvement with the GTP composite chassis and body development and construction. My, how times have changed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if Atlantis has the tooling for the 56 Chevy or not. I for one hope so as well. Sorry it took long to reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
