mangodart Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Hi guys, for this new build, I choose a 71 Mustang, one of my favorite model, especially in fastback, it looks aggressive even parked !!! And in the "Diamonds are Forever" movie from 71, it looks really nice in red without the black hood !!! So I started with an old glue bomb : a real AMT kit from 71 without engine. I decide to detail it a bit, with some parts from a Revell Shelby GT and from an AMT "Macho Mustang" I choose to use some clear lenses insteed of the clear ones, and to add some tires from Modelhaus. Hope you'll enjoy it !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mangodart Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 Some more pics : The paint is from a spray can, and has not been clear coated, just polished to a nice shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Looks nice. I really like the "big" Mustangs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
João Canas Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Superb build of the last proper Mustang! Love the wheels and white wal tires. It gives a very realistic period feel to the model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disabled modeler Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I like it a lot!...been planing on trying to build a few Bond movie cars,etc. myself...I have a few of the scale correct toys that were out back then like the underwater scuba rides from the movie Thunderball.

Peter Lombardo Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Looks great.....not my favorite Mustang, but you sure did a nice job in recreating the proper look of that car for that time period....the wheels and tires really set it off well. Nice build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelson Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Goodlooking replica!,there was a movie in 1972 called 'The Mechanic' and I swear that movie uses the same mustang that was in the james bond movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Hamilton Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I love those cars. I plan to do the same car for our club's theme. I have both the AMT and MPC Mustangs, as well as a copy of "Diamonds are Forever". That is one classy build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Love the big Mustangs. I too have built a copy the Diamonds Are Forever Bond car. I used the last issue of the AMT Boss 351 kit with Keith Marks Mach 1 decals. The kit is a piece of you know what. But, it turned out fairly well.

JTalmage Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Looks great! I'd love to find some of those rims so I can make an Eleanor clone. My favorite bodystyle of mustang... well.. besides all of them lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakshow12 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Turned out great for a turd kit. Only nitpick I have is the engine is totally wrong. No FE engines after 70... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
