Thanks Andre!

Very nice, love it! Looks like I'll have to get one of these kits for myself...

Thanks Anders, appreciated!

Well done on this hypercar and the kit with it's tricky decals...

Well done! Seems like Chevys really look great in that TS-21 Tamiya Gold...

Looks nice and well done on that tricky cowl stripe decals!

Not an expert, but I did some Google image research based on the beige color option. It should be the '68 Mustang Fastback kit, I believe. Check out these links: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/mpc-1968-mustang-fastback-520026883 https://images.app.goo.gl/SESJ7zfUPQUhgz2K6

I had this happen recently with Tamiya clear red paint which I was about to paint onto the rear sidemarkers of my 2015 Mustang. The paint practically "flew" off the brush landing onto the body as I was approaching it. It was only very tiny particles but it was odd. But the again, the whole modell seems to behave like a magnet. Before that I used Testors Wet Look clear coat and polished it with cotton wool and all the time (even after finishing the polishing) those cotton wool particles would be attracted to the model.

Thanks Jim, Larry and Dann! Thanks Bill, yes I've looked at the alternatives (full kits by AMT and Revell) once again, and they are no match! Thanks to you too, Michael. I used Tamya TS-21 on the body. Cleared with automotive 1K.

Another great result, Ludwig!

Dann, to be honest, I am not quite sure about your inquiry. Do you mean how many others here might be interested in having such a kit ourselves or do you mean how many would be interested in seeing YOU build one?

That looks nothing short of utterly beautiful!

Looking great! Is that the engine from the Fast & Furious kit and the tail lights from a '68?

Excellent result! And a great choice of color, nice to see something else than silver, red or black for a change!

I second that - well done!

Thanks a lot, Tom, Carl and David! Your kind feedback is appreciated.

Nice build! It looks like you used thin solder wire or something similar as a chrome trim? Maybe make a little "cut" into that where the front fender and door are separated by the door crack/ panel line?

Great build and I also love the weathering. It's just the right amount of it, and applied in stunning fashion. I also like the fact that you made pre-/ and after-race photos (clean/ dirty car). Not a lot of people think of that.

Thanks Chris and Craig! I agree, I think you can see that on first sight. The front section alone on that kit is done so realistic that it beats the AMT and Revell full kit easily, IMHO. The kit is pretty hard to find over here by now but I managed to grab another 3 kits which are on their way to me. I love the car and so I'll definitely do more of those. The one I built lately, I would consider it mild custom style. I will do another one that will be more stock-type (it'll probably have Magnum wheels) and yet another one that will be done in a more "mean" custom style. It'll definitely have the wheels set to the lowrider height. And that leaves one kit, I might consider to open the hood and try to combine the body with the Revell full kit. Has anyone here done that before?

I have used this technique occasionally. IMHO the downside is that styrene/glue mix is likely to contain small bubbles which may appear no sooner than after sanding, making it necessary to fill and sand again. However, as we know that the application of glue helps to prevent ghostlines, this is a good way to go for filling panels lines etc. I did it on my Porsche in order to fill the sunroof lines and it worked well: Yes, the CA is much harder than styrene once it's dried. That's why it's important to apply a CA layer as thinly as possible. See Dann's tutorial here: And as (almost) ever, Tamiya have a product solution to this: https://www.tamiya.com/english/products/87187/index.htm This is a "softer" type of CA, designed especially to be easily sanded...

I have the feeling that's what's Dann doing already, at least in his "extensive" builds...

Have WHAT?? This is a RACE car!

Great idea, great progress! Looks like they switched to using Camaros by now though... :

Great job on the carbon decals!

Boy, that looks great! Can you please show an image of the original shifter? I'm sure it's perfectly replicated but I can't seem to find an image of the right one...
