nice! i like it. on the way to school every day i pass one of these going the opposite way, its a silver color. in a middle/lower class part of georgia its hard to find sports cars like those. i always get all excited when i see it, i feel obsolete in my mustang

i know almost nothing about tamiya paint but why not use primer? it seems to me the painting process goes alot smoother and looks much better if you use primer, and i just use rust-o-leum primer for plastics

if thats the revell (i think) baldwin motion SS i just recently got the exact same kit :0 its pretty nice though, usually i just do junker builds from cars that fit like junkers out of the box

i wish my custom mustang turned out as great as yours did, mine was a regular 07 mustang with the engine replaced with a viper v10 and the whole front bumper replaced with a vipers front bumper, it looked awful but for my first chop i thought it was pretty dang good. it would have looked TONS better if i had taken more time and not screwed up the hood (it doesnt sit right AT ALL)

under the hood is the same color as the body, i just double checked for ya looking great so far

it looks great... one question... is the orange car in your sig 1:1 or a model? i seriously cant tell

in my opinion if you didnt have any trouble putting together the build then it was a failed build completely, you dont learn anything from it. just my .02 cents it turned out great though

its up to you, usually if its black i will paint it if i have the paints but if not i wont bother.

im working on this kit too, except im waiting till i can order a ross gibson engine and a set of drag wheels to finish it (im making a funny car) you said you wanted it to be 99.9% perfect, well if you need any help getting all the details perfect tell me, i own a 2007 mustang and i should be able to get you any exact details you need from my 1:1

nope no pics, but i do have a set. if i can remember to i will take a picture of them tonight

ill probably pick this kit up soon, i have the wheels from the 06 gt model that look just like real gt500 wheels

if you are wanted a set of cobra R lookalikes there is a revell 2006 corvette Z06 model that comes with a set of wheels that look like the z06 wheels and a set of wheels that look just like the cobra R wheels, unfortunately no extra tires.

man i hope so, i have 3 models that have been waiting on the right engine. but then again that also means ill have all three of their stock engines too... haha ok so maybe i really have started my own collection already

THANK YOU!! that is so much cheaper than the other options i had, especailly on engines (which i desperately need) these are like $20 cheaper

how do you get so many engines?! im just getting started with scratch builds and such and there are so many projects i cant finish because i dont have the right engine, i cant find a place to buy them

ok then! ive been working pretty slow on it but surely enough its getting there, the frame is still pretty rough but its getting there. the body and the frame is on a removable hinge so i can take the body from the frame fairly easily. i just need some wheels, a huge engine, and some time to finish it i only put the stock engine in there for laughs, no way in hell im keeping it in there i made the parachute myself, its not attached yet though, just held in there by the bars did alot of removal from the frame, still needs alot of sanding but you guys get the picture any suggestions are greatly appreciated, especially like where i can get the engine

not quite my thing but cool i guess

thanks, any other good places?

yes, moddern drag slicks, the wheels would help too

me too, lol one of my favorite sayings is: "if life gives you lemons make apple juice, and then sit back and watch as the world tries to figure out how the hell you did that"

gave up on eleanor! go to first post!!!

where do i find rear wheels like are on drag racers and funny cars? preferably at a LHS but i havent found any there

im 16 am i the youngest here?

its alright, theres no way you could have known im a mustang nut too (unless you read my other posts but why would anyone want to do that for no reason?) ill probably just do something like a vortech or a single turbo set-up, or maybe not do anything at all like that lol im also a fox body nut too

its not that i dont know what mustang superchargers look like its just im looking for one premade i own a 07 sixxer S197, i also am subscribbed to both of those mustang magazines now im thinking about doing a twin turbo set up but my first priority is to finish the body
