maltsr Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) Our club has its annual display at a national car show next month and will be featuring Mustangs as part of the 50th anniversary (Mustangs, not the club ) I hope to submit a few entries, and this is my latest project, combining the Revell convertible and GT350R kits. So far the front valance has been fitted to the convertible body and the fastback interior has been modified to fit. Wheels are from the AMT '66 kit and paint is likely to be Tamiya Racing Blue metallic with silver stripes. Edited January 1, 2014 by maltsr
slusher Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 Very cool mock up Paul. I enjoy watching your builds....
1930fordpickup Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 This is going in a great direction .
PappyD340 Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 OOOOOH, sounds like this is going to be SWEET!!
Mike Kucaba Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 I like this concept, especially since I have a 1/12th Shelby mustang with a cracked roof !
maltsr Posted December 21, 2013 Author Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) Completed the bodymods by removing bumper mounting holes in rear valence, mounting the de-chromed rear bumper and filling a couple of sink marks above the headlights. Applied a few coats of Tamiya Racing Blue (TS51) followed by a light coat of clear to seal it. Will let this cure for a couple of days while I pluck up courage to mask and apply stripes Edited December 22, 2013 by maltsr
slusher Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Very sharp color choice. Looking forward to more.....
maltsr Posted December 22, 2013 Author Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) With fingers firmly crossed, added the stripes this morning. Not much touch up required, will leave for a couple of days again prior to sanding the ridges and applying clear to blend everything together. Also finshed the engine with a little wiring/plumbing added. Edited December 22, 2013 by maltsr
Tompidom Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Nice color, looking good with the stripes!
am73grand Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Fantastic work so far!! I love the color combo!
maltsr Posted December 31, 2013 Author Posted December 31, 2013 Well guys, here's how she looks at year end. Started detailing the interior with some Model Car Garage photoetch and black embossing powder for the carpet. The paintwork has been polished and I added the GT350 sidescoops and photoetched bonnet pins, which severely tested my old eyes . Happy new year everyone!
kilrathy10 Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Just a beautiful piece of work, already....Great job on the paint....
