First off, this kit was from 1976 and the decals were good! This is a really basic kit 1/24 kit that Monogram put out in the mid seventies that is basically a curbside kit. I really liked it when I bought it it a yardsale and saw that it was complete. So I decided that the little Porsche needed to be built box stock to honor it's yellowed and beaten box with the yellow car on the box art, that it had been in since 1976. I didnt really do anything w/ the interior, I painted it black and added a little detail to the dashboard. I just wanted it to have a nice paint job and good outside detail. Paint is Tamiya yellow and Tamiya clear. Took me about 3 and a half days just a couple hours or so per day to finish it. One thing I regret is using model masters turn signal amber for the rear lights and front bumper lights... and they don't show well on a yellow car. Oh well. I scribed rear trunk lines in it because they were non existent. Let me know what you think. Enjoy.

Any color in rattle can? NICE! Welcome!

Thanks, I found that earlier, but I didnt have the part number handy so I'll do it when I get home. Thanks though

So... if I threw the receipt away before I even unsealed the box.... how do I go about proving my purchase/obtaining a replacement body?

I bought this kit too the day it came out. I'm disappointed in the decal sheet. I expected some original style 73 decals, and the original style wheels. (dog dish)

Nice one!

beautiful!!!!!

Looks great, I can't wait to rebuild my 2 MPC Chargers.

Great looking! I am jealous. I have been looking for those blacktop warriors kits forever

I bought my Ramcharger from HobbyTown USA and it was warped. So it's not just hobby lobby. I'm going to try the hot water method before I contact Revell.

Beautiful work!

Dude. that's great. I want my own barn now... I'm jealous of your superb talent

Just checked mine too.... it's warped. Bummer

Absolutely beautiful paint and detail work.

Looking good. I have this kit that I started, lost interest in, almost turned it into a drag jeep, then lost interest again. Might have to try and collect all the parts back again and actually turn it into a jeep.

Wild! I love it. Great job bringing it up a few scales bigger

They don't call em death wheels for nothing. One thing I always enjoy is the wires from a wire wheel, whether it's the bench grinder or a die grinder.... you don't immediately know you have one stuck somewhere on your person.... right up until you REALLY find it.

Yes indeed. And weld splatter. Didn't get that in the eye, but I got it behind the top of the ear lobe once. Wooo!

No it's supposedly the re-do of the MPC stock version, but with the added parts.

It's always fun until you get it in your eyes. Figured that one out.

Release date was supposedly yesterday. I haven't made it to my local hobby shop to check.

Wow. Great work! so.... many.... tiny... parts!

I still haven't worked on my Bronco much. I got my Tom Daniel car done... but I've been working 60+ hours a week for months. I'm tired. I might get it done in time this year......

Yep, no coil springs. The twisting action of the bar is what keeps the suspension loaded. My '04 Ford Ranger 4x4 is the same way. It has torsion bars. I cranked the torsion bar bolts in to bring the front height up to match the back height after I first got it.

I never understood why they had the 50th anniversary stuff on that box.... seems kinda silly... just an excuse to make a box art that sells I guess. Anyway, great looking mustang, looks about like the factory color they came with
