Thank you Larry Thanks Joe and I am a fan of this old Monogram kit.

Thanks Terry, color is definitely not typical for the these cars.

Very nice work on a model not often seen. Your foil work is excellent.

Great representation of the General. Your interiors are always nicely detailed.

A couple more at sunset.

Thank you David and yes I plan to leave off the trunk spoiler.

Thanks Lee. Thanks Bob and good luck in your search for the Mustang. Thanks Hector. Thanks Craig, I was going for a non traditional color. Thanks David, and sounds like you got a great deal on those kits. I have a couple more of these 429's plus a few 302's still unbuilt. Thanks Glen. Thanks Bill, I have the '69 kit and might paint that one in gold to have a matching pair. Thank you Ray. Thanks John. I like the Grabber Greens and Blue as much as anybody but understated is what I was going for with this build. Thanks Michelle. Thanks Patrick, it's true gold was not an option on the Boss 429's that year. Ford did offer a medium gold for the Mustang that year which bears some similarity to this color.

1981 release of the Monogram 1/24 scale Boss Mustang. Painted in Tamiya TS-75 Champagne gold and cleared with Testors glosscote. The trunk spoiler has been painted and built but I'm undecided whether or not to install it. While I think these look good with the spoiler I also feel it interrupts from the fastback lines. Whenever a hood is warped I normally drop in it warm water and it can usually been bent back to proper shape. I never had an issue with the hoods on this kit and never thought to check it prior to painting. The warpage has created a bit of an unsightly gap on the passenger side. It's my biggest disappointment with the build.

Your patience with the kit was rewarded with a great looking build Gareth. The process used to weather the engine compartment also looks good.

Looks great in that classic color combination. Nice work wrapping the styrene strips around the side windows. Did you polish the base color since it appears to be a non metallic or has that been cleared? Because it has fantastic shine.

Impeccable work as always Craig. I like your technique using a clear over the seats.

You chose a fantastic color Mike on a very clean build. And great job foiling.

Clean build and spectacular blue color. Is that a 30 gauge wrapping wire you've used for the spark plug wiring?

Great build and I'm impressed with how nicely these can turn out. Appears to be a greater amount of foil work than I would've initially thought.

I couldn't agree more.

Awesome looking red on very clean build.

Thanks for the info Tom.

Spectacular work as always. Videos are always informative. Didn't realize CA glue could be used as a gap filler. You're very patient to have taken the time to remove the wiper blades.

What NJ town was the hobby shop located in Tom? Just curious since I can only get Tamiya paints online.

Nice build and great job lining up the decals. I've considered getting this kit myself.

Well thanks for the info Bob. I'll have to get a can of that color.

Fantastic color combination and your attention to detail is super.

Great looking build and I really like the interior color as it has a fabric tan appearance.

Great paint finish and nice work on the canopy top. Wouldn't have known the hood hinges were incorrect if you hadn't mentioned it.

Excellent work smoothing the front fascia. Are you going to include the rather bold hood decal as seen on the 1:1 car?
