The kit manufacturer used whatever tire would fit the wheels the best and while unusual to “mix” brands that was not an issue to the folks at Revell/Monogram.

Someday.

It has held up well. Nice job. I’ve got all of the kit versions of the Mustang but they have yet to be started.

Great details (no pun intended) on how you painted the headlight covers and taillights. Anytime it is necessary to have to paint a clear red part a light body color it’s a challenge.

I would steer away from the Fujumi kits as they are based on a continuation Cobra and would not represent a 60’s era race car. Your best bet is to search this forum for the well researched and built 427 racing Cobras built by 65slot car in 2020.

Super nice factory stock build. Thanks for the info on the previous issues shortcomings. Yours turned out great.

I built this many years ago and I remember I would have not used the front TRX tires the next time as they are very narrow. The wheels are “fixed” on mine but they must just be tight but I seem to remember they did press on. Perhaps other have built the kit more recently that will chime in.

That was a 1970 which was strictly a snap kit. The body looks better than those in larger scales though.

Someone else may have them. All my kits are in storage after the move here and it will be a while until I figure out where to store them. Perhaps one of these has origins back to being also used for slot cars which could explain the width difference.

Groovy baby. Actually the interior is hideous.

That’s a bummer. I moved from VA to FL two weeks ago and my issue was forwarded and I got it last week.

Very nice representation of the box art version.

If that were only true. It has a 302 and a 428 which are carried over from 69-70 kits. AMT and MPC rushed the kits to market and could care less if the correct engines and exhaust system were included. I did an extensive review of this kit about a year ago on this site.

After living in Virginia since 1969 and my wife since the early 19800’s she took advantage of a work opportunity and we moved here just this week. Going from a four bedroom house in the DC suburbs to a two level condo on the 15th floor of a high rise overlooking Biscayne bay is quite a change. Needless to say there’s a lot of adjustment mentally and getting used to very different surroundings. I retired last December so I won’t miss the cold weather and will miss the space I had for all my kits (most of which are in storage at the moment) but we will look for a place with more room in a few years after the housing prices go back down.

It’s a nice kit combining parts from the 68 AMT Shelby GT500 and the 67 GT350 kit.

Super nice (real one and the model).

Well done. I still have a half finished one sitting in the box. Hopefully yours will inspire me to finish it.

Nice work on a one of one model. I saw the F1 race this morning and the fans were very happy with the results.

I have bought one but not started it yet. From other posts the general consensus is the Fujumi body is more accurate but of course those kits do not have an engine. Others have mentioned the MENG engine looks toyish compared to other Ford engines molded over the last 50 plus years. If you build it out of the box it is a vast improvement over the original IMC kits. What you have done so far looks very good. It will be interesting to see who will be the first to experiment with replacing part or all of the engine with one of the aftermarket ones.

Well deserved on the awards. Congratulations.

Love seeing different versions of the 69 and 70 Mustangs raced around the world. Great job.

Very sharp build. Are those the kit decals or the ones from Indycals?

Very nice. For some crazy reason there’s never been a kit of a 69/70 T/A (except in 1/43) Mustang despite the obvious popularity of them in the TransAm series and vintage racing.

It’s a good kit but gives builders fits of the try to use the Lemnos stripes decals versus painting them on. Doing a sold color eliminates that issue. I like the kit and the variations for the 65-66 fastback and convertibles Revell Monogram did. Looking forward to the finished pictures.

Thanks. My wife was at the WH for 1.5 years a few years ago and applied for a job in South Florida so we are packing up and leaving the high taxes and cold winters. I hope to meet some modelers down there and of course will keep in touch via the forum.
