Another one from Facebook from an ACME member.

Best I can do.

Looking very nice Cobraman. I like the bumperless look.

Great job on improving a curbside kit.

Yes - a must see. The move should show how Ken MIles was instrumental to Ford winning many races.

Saw this one on Facebook.

Are those decals or hand painted?

Pretty much do the same thing. My pet peeve is generic descriptions like "looking for a decal." Would save us all time if the item wanted was in the subject line.

Ebay score for $50 PLUS for the MK II plus an unbuilt 289 AMTand 427 Cobra Monogram. No one else bid. The Mark II box is in almost mint condition.

You can buy just the body from R&M of MD.

That is one sweet Camaro. I think as long as it's in a white or light brown box with bubble wrap or soft towels the temp inside the box should not be excessive. Crack the windows and put the box on the floor out of direct sunlight and it should be fine for at least an hour unless it is over 100 degrees outside. Good luck at the show - I'd vote for your car even though it's not a Mustang.

Sadly they do not sell them anymore. Very nice work on yours. I have one I painted but that's as far as I got.

That would be the other one - same as what was in the 69 Mustang kit and probably most other mid side and large Ford kits of that era. Sadly MPC and AMT never made a true 429 for the 71 Mustang and included either the 428 or Boss 429 neither of which was correct. So, use what engine is correct for that year which would be either the 302 Boss (Eliminator) 351W or the 390/428. I would not worry much which kit it comes out - they are all similar.

Assuming that's the Boss 429 of course that was only available in the KarKraft built 69/70 Mustangs.

Nothing wrong with "curbside" models. They look great.

Awesome craftsmanship. Only downside is it makes it looks I play with toy cars.

I was lucky enough to get the Scale Production one before it was discontinued. The AMT 67 Shelby chassis is a good fit for it but I'm not sure about the USCP one. As you can see I decided to go with a different color.

Cool find. I got my son a Ford GT when they came out in 2005.

Sure, with both feet.

Did R&M of MD make some of the parts in question in resin?

Same kit too (except it's the Mini Exotics resin body) that I built sometime in the early 90's

This reminds me I wish someone would do the decals for the Lawman Mustang. Here's the front of the Shelby I mentioned above.

Very nice 68 Shelby. One thing I have noticed when researching that year is that the inside of the grille area is body color. Look at some pictures on line. Basically most of the chrome should be covered with paint which is a shame. Here are some builds that date back to the late 80's or early 90's.

Will be interesting for sure.

I won this reissued kit in a raffle and had no idea what to do with it. Now I do. Of course I may put a 289/302 Ford engine. Good job on yours.
