Modlbldr Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Just finished this one up tonight. It is the MPC Snake Bite Mustang Cobra. I bought it as an unpainted but decaled built up and I stripped it down. Paint is Testors Viper GTS Blue with Testors silver of some sort. The pinstripe along the hood bulge and along the body molding is Lavender. I wasn't confident of my choice of striping at first but I really liked it once I got it on the body. The window glass was pretty scuffed so I decided to just spray it flat black on the inside. The windshield decal was left over from the OB. Engine detail is just the basic engine. No wiring or plumbing. This was a fun build that went together very easily and was quite enjoyable. Hope you like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamach1 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Very nice.  The engine look like it has some characteristics of a 351 Cleveland.  Is that the engine that came in the kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modlbldr Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 Thank you guys! Scott- it is a much better kit than I had first thought. Not exactly top quality, but a great kit for its age. Went together with no hiccups. Later- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyjim Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Looking good. I'l have to look for that kit becuase it seems to represent the '86 Mustnag GT I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT68 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Sharp looking Mustang in that color and I like the contrasting hood color. Wouldn't mind finding one of these MPC or Monogram versions of the early Fox body Mustangs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
