Joe Lange Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Purchased this resin 'Transkit' from Morgan Automotive Detailing about 2 months ago and decided to start it. Kris did a really nice job on this casting. I'm assuming he used an 'AMT '66 Mustang Hardtop' kit as his base because that's the kit he recommends using for additional parts. Don't try using the Revell kit! (Trust me, it DOESN'T work.) His website shows the bare bones kit. I have already added the front and rear valances and firewall. Cleaned up the body an gave it a coat of Dupilcolor primer. Still deciding on a color. Leaning toward Ford 'Silver/Blue' and a darker blue for the interior. Going to keep it stock with the 289ci. motor. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dino246gt Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Nicely integrated, the lines flow as if it were factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Lange Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 Slowly progressing. Decided to go with Ford 'Silver/Blue' and a medium blue for the interior. Put a base coat on the body and went to work on the interior. Test fitted the motor and started adding wiring and some plumbing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Lange Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share Posted May 26, 2022 Thanks for the complements, guys. Bob, this kit could very easily be turned into a really nice custom ride. However, I tend to lean more to stock and factory concept, (would've, could've, should've,) cars. When I first purchased this transkit I had a Monogram 1966 Mustang Shelby 350GT-H kit. It was an 'already started' ebay kit and I thought a Hertz GT350 Wagon would be a great concept vehicle. Of course, Kris Morgan meant exactly what he stated,...."For use with the AMT 1966 Mustang Hardtop Kit". There was no way the panel fit would work with the Monogram kit, so I went the stock route.

Joe Lange Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 Finally completed last night. Used 'The Model Car Garage' photo etched details in several places inside and out, and 'Keith Marks Decals' on the body. Keith's decals are really well detailed! Hope you enjoy the photos! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 That looks like a proper little wagon, and if it were real, I'd have one. It works! Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ea0863 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 What a cool looking car, and a wonderfully completed model! I could totally have seen this car around in the 60's and 70's on the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leica007 Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Extremely well executed finish of a unique model; can't decide which I lke better, the interior or the engine bay detailing. Both are eye catching. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89AKurt Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Nice looking "shooting brake" (if it was a Brit). You sure work fast and get awesome results! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainford Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Good looking long-roof Mustang. I love the stock treatment for this build. A nice, tidy build of a very handsome car. Very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Lange Posted June 21, 2022 Author Share Posted June 21, 2022 Thanks for the good words guys. Kurt, I don't know about the 'working fast', but since retiring, I find myself busier than ever during the day, but I also have more time in the evening to sit at my bench and just keep building. Never thought I would be able to do that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
