bh1701 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Here is my latest completion - a 1965 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback. This is one of AMT's 1/32nd scale kits and the it was a fun kit to build. The color is Testor's Gloss Copper. The level of detail is really good, although it does not have any front turn signals or backup lights. I probably could have figured out a way to add some, but it was rather late in the construction when I noticed this.. One big challenge was painting the whitewalls on the plastic tires that the kit has. A trip to the R/C section of the hobby shop provided me with the parts I needed to come up with a creative solution. In the interior, I added a gear shift using a piece of stiff wire and a blob of canopy cement to form the knob. I was also very pleased with the way the dashboard details came out; black wash was used on the instrument cluster and the speedometer numbers are very readable. The Mustang tri-bar emblems on the front fenders were a challenge to paint, but they came out well. I did the best that I could with the tiny Mustang scripts, but they don't hold up very well under magnification. Thanks for looking, Bart 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Very nice build. Those little 1/32's are fun to work with. I have a couple of them in my display case and a couple more to build. Also have a shoebox full of the older Monogram slot car static kits from the mid 60's that I want to do some restoration work on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamach1 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Excellent job. I’ve built a fair amount of 1/32 and most seem to be pretty accurate. From the pictures you might think it was 1/25 scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy grumpy Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Wow Bart , I thought the first photos were 1/25 scale. Great craftsmanship to bring this little 'stand to that level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slotto Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) Incredible detail on that 1:32! 1:24/5 should be a breeze after that! I really like your colors. Great stick shift too. I would have never known. Well done Edited September 14, 2022 by Slotto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
