Mustang Madness

Thanks for the comments guys, I appreciate it. Yes Chuck I agree I would like to see this kit reissued too!

Hey Dan how's it goin' .. thanks for the comment, there was no issues with it, I was working on the AMT 1:16 '65 Mustang and I was getting a little bored with it, I bought this off of ebay and started on this one. I got this done over the space of a week and it went together nice. Tires are a two piece deal and they're like a hard vinyl type material which I didn't care for too much but the kit went together pretty well and i'm happy with it. Headlamps were just chrome plated with no clear lens, so I used some Testors clear plastic glue and built up a lens on them to try and disguise the simple chrome ones they used.

This kit was a Revell "Monroe Handler Street Racer" released in 1979, It was one of the first models I ever built back in the day, I found one on ebay unbuilt a couple weeks ago and snagged it, but instead of doing it in it's original Monroe yellow and blue, I opted for a more regular color choice. Wheels are out of a '68 Mustang kit, tires are from the Monroe kit, exhaust tips are aluminum tube.

Nice, me too:

That's a nice looking build you did there Marcelo, I have had that kit for a couple years, you have inspired me to start building it.

Welcome to the forum William... enjoy your time here.

They look like Cougar valve covers.

Hey Darrell... welcome to the forum, you have some fine looking builds there!

Once again Dann you have knocked it out the park!.... that sir is a awesome build. I am in awe of your skills.

Hey Mark thanks for the suggestions ... not painting the "Mustang" lettering on the rear was an oversight by me, I think I was so glad to finally have this finished that I forgot about that. Yes I agree about opening up the end of the intake snorkel... thanks for that.

Thanks for the positive comments folks, I appreciate it .

Sweet build Marcelo... looks great!
