    I have a lot of unfinished ones too (CMA, Renaissance and a whole bunch of Fujumi MKI and MK II's) with a whole bunch of decals to do various liveries. Hard to believe next year will be the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Lemans victory. Where did half a century go?

    Don't forget the backwards windshield wipers.

    Such an underrated kit. It hs a engine which the vast majority of 1/43 metal and resin kits do not for three times the price.

    I would build just about any Mustang and there certainly is a void of coupe kits. I just don't think they would sell as well. There are some resin options but as others have pointed out the 67/68 have issues (rear window area). I do not understand if they spend money to tool a convertible how hard would it be to do a hardtop. It would share many of the same parts.

    Only $33 a month for a year.

    Drop in the bucket compared to a few thousand Cobras :-)

    Ouch

    They are not as cool. Same goes for the real ones. People want convertibles and fastbacks and will pay more.

    I think one of the old 90's Nascar ones. I do not have the rest of the kits - just a few engines.

    I had one of the 1/43 kits that had about 300 parts (metal, photo etch) that I ended up trading because I figured I would never build it. I think it was made by Superior.

    How high did the bidding go out of curiosity?
  12. vamach1
    Assuming this is one of those engines (someone can confirm) it would be an acceptable option along with some stock exhaust manifolds and oil pan.

    I am working on reshaping the back on this Lil Red that I started on a while ago. Seeing the real one found got me interested in making some progress. I believe this prototype had two superchargers so it will not be just your average 428 SCJ.

    Check with Kevin directly. The masters are 1/24 (from the Danbury Mint Boss 351) so it will take some modifications to the AMT or MPC interior bucket to make it work. he biggest giveaway of a Cleveland is the upper radiator hose goes straight down into the block and not sideways into the intake manifold like on a 351W.

    It had been years since I built the other ones. They were all a challenge.

    You were way ahead of us and Monogram, Gary. I sort of did the same thing except I had to use a fastback conversion part. The putty dried out after a few decades.

    Nooooooooooooooooo

    It happens to the best.

    A few of these I built over thirty years ago. Build the Aurora one for extra credit.

    I sense a trend here lately. Excellent job and the engine looks very realistic.

    Never give up. Just curse a lot. I wanted to finish this one since I have built all the others (MKI, MKII, Gulf, and MKIV).

    I'll be straight forward. The spoiler is on backwards. It is basically the same spoiler on 69-73 Mustangs and the front edge is the flat part and the back part is tapered.
  23. vamach1
    Let's not forget the Gunze kit and the MiniExotics resin body. They are next to a Revell, Monogram and Wix cobra.
  24. vamach1
    Thanks for posting the pictures. It's one of the few color ones I have seen.
  25. vamach1
    Is the rear spoiler easy to remove? Look at the picture above for how the factory mounted them. You would be surprised how many real Fords I see with the spoiler facing the other way
