Time for another Mopar This time, the Charger's little brother - Dart Thinking of doing a vinyl roof (havent done this before) or maybe a two tone painjob? Dont know yet. I have an idea for the bodypaint - again, pretty unusal color for this car, but maybe it will look good. We'll see.

Yup, it was in the kit. Its not a reflection - I did painted it in chrome ?

Engine bay still needs a bit of work

This one was pretty fun to build. Model did have some minor issues, but overall went together nicely Really love classic Mustangs. Will definitely build the Shelby gt350 too. Thinking of buying the Ikea Blaliden cabinet for my models. Anyone have any experience with it? Is it worth it?

Hopefully the headlight glue will dry transparent, but overall its finished ?

Forgot to take some pictures, but painted the window trim. Did screw up a bit doing that - didnt cut the tape as straight as i would have liked. But still came out pretty good. Then glued the windows - the rear one had some fitment issues, but still got it pretty good.

Didnt even noticed that, but now when i look at some of the reference pictures, youre right

Interior is pretty much done Also did some wiring

Got the body clear coated

Painted the engine compartment black. Also did some decal work I'll let it dry for a day and then its clearcoat time

I'm by no means an expert of scribbing, but its a thick rigid tape that helps you to cut in straight lines. This is mostly used for creating new panel lines, but it also helps to scribe the existing ones too. So, you tape the edge of whatever you want to scribe and run your knife along side it. The tape will keep the knife from jumping out of the line. I used the Dspiae one, but they're all the same no matter who makes them.

Thank you! I really like the box art too Did a bit of work on the interior too Still a lot of stuff left to do.

Did some bodywork Sanded the body with 600grit + 1000grit spones. Usually i did this with regular sandpaper, but havent touched them since i discovered sponges. Awesome things for model building. Then sprayed the body with surfacer 1000 primer following the surfacer white 1500 primer After letting it dry for some time, it was time for paint. This time i used the Tamiya Racing white. Pretty happy how it turned out. The body itself does have some minor issues with the molding, but nothing major.

The rear quarter vents are a bit pain to install. The part is just a bit too small to fit into the hole. Its impossible to get them good without some sort of cement glue. After a lot of fiddling, i got them pretty good. Then it was time to scribe panel lines. I'm not very good at it so this time i thought i'd try the scribbing tape. Made a world of difference Did a quick paintjob on the fuel tank. Painted it aluminium silver. They're usually black on the real cars, but i like the silver more. Gives a bit cleaner look. Painter the interior too. This time, in red. Not entirely happy with the color, but still pretty happy how it turned out. Will have to think a bit - maybe i'll strip it and try something else.

Day 1: Lets begin Did some painting. Nothing major, just some small bits an pieces Seems like a nice solid kit - some random fitment issues, but again nothing major. Also did some work on the engine. Nothing major.

Thanks everyone who has been following my other builds. This community is awesome! I'm usually a Mopar guy, but i really like Fords too. So i just finished my other Mustang and decided to do another one. This time the 1965 Fastback. One day i will definitely do the Shelby gt350 and the GT fastback too. Unfortunately the Revell's GT model is very rare in the EU - if anyone has any leads on where to find it, im all ears. Really love that car. But for now, the '65 fastback. I have an idea for the paint, but we'll see how it goes.

Thank you guys

I've built a few Mopars before, but this is my first Ford car Pretty happy how it turned out. Nice solid kit, didnt have any real issues with it. Was thinking of painting it blue at first, but decided to go with the dark gray. Maybe i should build a proper shelf ?

Done! Thanks everyone for your kind words! Will post more pictures under the finished model cars subforum.

Day 9: Final assembly! Its almost finished!

Day 8: Interior is pretty much done Front grille is also almost done. Still needs the headlights Still needs some minor work befor final assembly.

Paint is called Mercedes Crystal Palladium by Gravity colors sprayed ontop of the white primer (Ford-purists, dont hate me ?). If i remember correctly, it should be the factory paint for some of the newer Mclaren supercars.

Thank you! Its an awesome stand by the way. Havent used it much yet - it will get dirtier ?

Day 7: Window trim Painted the window trims too. Not much left to do

Day 6: Did some polishing today. Also tried to do some wiring This is my first attempt of doing it. Pretty happy how it turned out
