Very nice but I think it needs a driver figure to go with it.

I was pretty close. Thanks

SMBC had a nice one in the 351 Cleveland kit.

I have a few questions. Is the Mustang I the diecast and if not where did you get it? Is the #15 or #71 the old Mini Exotics kit? Is the #1 with the fins the Joker kit or did you modify the Fujumi kit? Is the #6 the Thunder Valley and is the 2017 FORD GT the snap kit with decals?

Not sure which kit of Brads you are referring to. The engine kit is about $30. There is always one listed on Ebay by some trying to mark it up 200% to see if anyone bites.

I wish they would do a 351 CLEVELAND.

Yep, pretty speechless ;-)

I guess if it started as a Monte Carlo it would have a Chevy engine. It looks great so far.

You are correct sir. Some of the Monogram kits had these wheels and I think they even showed in a version of the Boss 429.

There is no known cure for our addiction.

Beverly Hills Mustangs redid 12 regular convertibles as GT350 clones in the 1980's but they were never assigned a Shelby VIN so essentially they are no different than any other clones.

Thanks. The #11 is the IMC kit. I have built both J cars too ut that's another story.

I finally finished TV kit thanks to HRM and the Fujumi kit.

Just absolutely beautiful and period correct. I will get to my full detail HRM Cobra someday. Here are some of my old builds from the 1990's.

Alright Alright Alright on the Boss 302. Kids just remember to paint it metallic blue, yellow, orange or white - the only stock colors for the 69. I'd have a heart attack if they did a T/A version.

I have not looked at the kit in years and now that you mention it there is a lot more than I expected for a snap kit. If I did not have 50 Mustangs to build I might get to it this decade. Maybe my 17 year old son will build it. He loves Ford GTs.

The Ford GT is a snap kit? That's a shame. I suspect it is the same as this kit.

Rare kit or not it is nice to see them built for fun.

Lets see that shotgun motor and where is the rubber on the rear wheel wells? It is too clean.

The FOMOCO hupcaps are resin and were in my stash so I am not sure of the source. However a EBAY seller may have them. I am wait to hear back from her >>> mustang_mom44820 Yes there is no non-vented hood available so you had to fill it with putty. Don't you love how they assumed the hood had vents like a 70 and of course never corrected the mold in 45 years when it was obvious there were no vents.

?pea green? Must be an acquired taste I guess. My point was why would you build a model in a color you do not like. I was simply pointing out all the things that make this diecast less than correct if you care. The real 71-73's seem to get further and further from how they looked when the rolled off the assembly line due to owners down the line changing them. The model companies (if they are doing any research) are basing remakes on whatever Google image comes up.

Well well well. I like the color but See my other Posts for my rants about how inaccurate this kit is. I'll list a few just for fun. The Mach1 decal looks crooked. The 429 never was and will neve be correct for a 71. No 71-73's had vents in the hood and that wing height is okay for a Honda. The rear decal and bumper are right for a 73 but wrong for a 72. I have also seen this diecast kit in silver, red. Black (with incorrect white stripes) . If you wan to build a more accurate 71/72 Mach1 - also see my other posts or comments on any post about 71-73 Mustangs. Yes that is my 72 Mach1 and here is a Danbury Mint diecast next to the Testors one with those gigantic hood hinges, and the AMT kit I built with a few extra.

Most muscle cars (and their non muscle) cousins had many engine options. You can build a 302 powered Mach1 or a plain jane coupe with a 428 or 429. I guess just a someone can build a dozen Mustangs of the same years 71/72 that are not the same (coupe, conv, sportsroof, Mach1, Boss, HO, Sprint, six banger, 302, 351 2v or 4v or 429 - the are all sorts of combinations would be akin to building a fleet of Bascar kits all with different markings with slightly different engines. What makes the car hobby so great is you can build factory stock or not, i.e., you are not limited to making an exact replica of anything. You can chose whatever color or wheels or engine you want and enter a show and not have anyone say this ot that is incorrect. Build what makes you happy which for most of us is not building the same exact thing twice.

Now that you mention it they look pretty ridiculous :-(

I guess in that scale the size difference is more noticeful.
