Great build. Saw this car at SEMA a few years ago. You modeled it perfectly.

This is really great. Thanks for posting.

That '88 is sweet!! My first car was a '91 LX notch (emerald green). I sold it and didn't get another Mustang for 20 years. I picked this guy up in September. Don't know why I waited so long...

Great job so far. Nice work on the paint and wiring.

I just picked up the Revell Ferrari California - a decent looking kit overall. Anyway, it looks like when the kit was packed they taped the bag too tightly to the body. So now I have a warped A pillar and windshield (it is the open top model). How do I correct this? I was considering dunking the body in hot water for a bit and then trying to bend it back but would a hair dryer or heat gun work better? Any other ideas? Thanks!

I'd be happy with that. Looks good!

I just asked Jameston at Scalefinishes for a cast iron color and he added one to his range. I have 2oz at home but have yet to try it out. Looks pretty close to the mark in the bottle though.

Well done. Solid looking build.

Perfect. Love the colors.

When replicating a rough cast texture I use a technique that I learned 30 years ago from an AVF (armoured fighting vehicle) modeller who uses this technique a lot on 1/35th scale cast tank turrets.... I apply a liberal wash of slow evaporating liquid cement (Testor's Liquid) over the surface and then I use a small brass bristle brush and rapidly tap the softened plastic. Takes a bit of practice to get the feel for this so grab some scrap plastic and practice. If there is too much texture, I carefully brush on another thin coat of the liquid cement to knock down the peaks a little. Hope this helps.
This is the technique I use as well. I think I got the idea from a Verlinden book.

Looks good! I agree about the interior details. They are plentiful but hard to paint.
-
Nicely done, boys!
-
Great work!

Looks good! I HATE the hood decal on this car. I'm on my 3rd GT350H because of it. Looks like you managed pretty well.

Sweet build

Very cool! That dash looks great. Nice job on the wood grain. I have the Monogram '64 in the on deck circle of my workshop. Love the GTO's.

Probably what I'll end up doing, Ray. Thanks guys.
-
Awesome! Great job.

Like an idiot I dropped my brand new can of DuPont clear and broke the nozzle clear off. No way to repair. Problem is, none of my other rattle can nozzles seem to fit. I suppose I could decant it but I would rather find a substitute nozzle. Any suggestions?
-
Really clean build. Very cool!
-
Nice build!
-
Thanks all. This is my best build yet, thanks in no small part to everything I learned on this forum. This is a great community.

Finally wrapped this one up. My father had the same color combination when he owned this car in 1968. I think it is a real looker, even by today's standards.
The kit went together ok. There were some fitment issues with the hood, windshield and chassis but otherwise it was pretty straightforward. It was my first time using Scale Finishes paint and I think it is fantastic. It sprays beautifully.
Next up: a '66 GT 350H

You're going to love it. This will be my 5th straight year and it gets better every year!
