Sweet. I wish they had done the prepainted version in more colors.

I feel your pain on the MPC/AMT 71-73 Mustang kits.

I have 1/87 up to 1/12 but probably 80% are 1/24 and 1/25 with most of the rest 1/43rd.

Great Scott that is out of this world.

I would go with white or the two-tone.

Check within 15 feet of where it disappeared. I have dropped parts that I swear had wings and ended very far from where I was sitting.

My wish list Is as follows. 67-68 Mustang coupe/conv. 69/70 Mustang coupe/conv. 71/73 Mustandcoupe/conv. 03/04 Mustang Mach1 Ford Mach II concept Daytona Cobra Coupe 427 Cobra in 1/25 scale 289 Cobra in 1/24 scale 70's Detomaso Pantera with an ENGINE. GT40 Mark I in 1/24 scale Ford Mark IV in 1/24 scale

I guess I'll have to say it is not a car. It is the only non car model I have built in the last 40 years. I loved the movies as a kid and built this maybe five years ago. Believe it or not I did not build any Mustangs that I can remember as a kid, I built planes and ships and space stuff and sc-fi and tanks and a few cars. It wasn't unti my 20's that I started to collect any Mustang, GT40, Pantera or Cobra that I could get my hands on regardless of the scale.

Yea a 1/43 kit and a great build to boot. I have built about 20 but only the Monogram Cobra is the only one with an engine.

I refuse to pay absurd prices for 50 year old kits so when I spotted this built up in good condition I snagged it for $15. Most of the time I see a 67 Mustang it is a glue bomb. The chassis and engine were trashed but are identical to the 68 Shelby kit that are plentiful and cheap.

If it sounds to good to be true it is a SCAM. NEVER buy from anyone anywhere with little or no feedback.

I voted yes but the site as it is could not handle transactions like Ebay can (bids, buy it now, etc). I think for those folks that have good "feedback" meaning the are regular posters (and not trawlers) and are not in an area that has a local club would probably like to buy other members excess kits. One main reason I'd like to sell here is to not have to pay the Paypal and Ebay fees and I'd know the model would be going to a builder and not speculator. Until then I'll see or donate kits at the local monthly MAMA meetings.

Just saw his bio an he lives in the same area I grew up in (Franconia/Alexandria). I'm guessing we went to the same hobby shops at Springfield mall and a Five and dime store in Rose Hill shopping center and a hobby shop near Landmark. NOVA has a ton of people but I lived in Maryland for five when I found MAMA and keep coming back for almost three decades.

Great turnout. Thanks for posting.

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.
