It is very similar Eric, but not exact. the wing forward mounts extend and curve up slightly to match the upper wings legs versus stopping smoothly and rounded at their ends. This could easily be duplicated in scale (if an acurate late 84-86/87-93LX spoiler existed). The late 84 and 85 had no CHMSL, the 86 had the CHMSL, and the 87-93LX had a slightly different shaped/sized CHMSL. I have an 88 Hatch spoiler in the garage next to my second 86 SVO spoiler lower. If I can remember and get to them through all the other FOX parts, I will take some pics and post them in the 1:1 reference section.

Not only do you have excellent build skills, you also have a great sense of photographic setting/lighting/angle to make an already great diorama look real. I am taking notes for a future build of my own.

AMT Pete 359 'Midnight Express' (open but unbuilt) AMT Kenworth K-123 Cab-over (partial built-up) AMT Canepa Kenworth T600A (x2) (partial built-ups) IMEX 1/25th scale auto transport trailer. (open but unbuilt) A few other vintage kits from the 60s through 80s.

As for lug nuts, I have found that (even though it is expensive) Plastruct hex shapes works well and comes in sizes that can be used for lug nut detail if cut to the proper length.

I have the first issue of this kit (wow, I think it was somewhere in the mid-90s) and welcome its' return, especially with the Hemi and optional supporting parts. I built mine as a Hemi-swapped stock bodied car; now I can buy just one kit and have either option. I am disappointed in the fact that the correct Hemi S/S seats and door panels didn't get added, I am happy that they did not cut the body for the larger rear wheel well openings. Someone was actually thinking when they did just the 'cut here' lines instead. Kudos Revell; even without the correct seats, I will buy at least 6 of these kits, as the 68 Dart is my favorite A-body!

Beautiful 'Cuda Notch. Proof that 'A'-bodies can look killer when done right.

Looking good man! What lower bumper did you use?

I am working on the very same issue Eric........the incorrect wing. Luckily, I have 3 (one even on a car) of the real wings to take measurements from. Remember, 86 will be different from 84-85 as it has the CHMSL.

I just picked up another Red SVO from Ebay a few days ago. It is going into my stash for another day. I am in Florida, and won't be home for a few more days, so nothing has gotton done on either the 83 GLX vert or the 91 GT.

I build (also never finish) models of the various aircraft I do/have worked on and the aircraft carriers I have been on besides my cars/trucks/bikes.

I shot mine over a Black base. It came out OK, and gave the added benefit of darker panel line recesses.

Very nice Mark; and I agree that with some well executed detail painting, even a basic assembly can look very realistic.

I have this kit as well........not nearly as nice as yours. Funny how the styling ques from this car ended up in the last gemerations of Camaro/Firebird.

Sorry about that Robert; the threads and pics in the 1:1 FOX reference you are talking about are mine. I have a Photobucket account and I just image link to it when posting here (as I am NOT computer smart at all). Whatever size this site and Photobucket decides on is what posts. I have an older machine and it takes a few seconds, but all of the pics do load up for me.

Well Jason, I will be in Orlando for the next 10 days, so I can start snapping some when I get home from that trip.

Well Rick, I have an 83 GLX vert, and 84 GT Turbo, and an 86 GT TTop car right here in my driveway and garage I could start snapping pics of when I am done with the 1991 GT! A friend drives a 1980 Coupe that I am sure he would let me get some shots of as well!

Hey Mike, I got about $50.00 in ground cover material over the last few days for this, and I found some stuff that will make excellent chain link fence material. Also, I sent Ron some pics of the diner here in New Carlisle.....he was happy with them and we may use some of the styling from that for this build!

Got you updated Jeff. I just added a bunch of reference pics to the 1:1 reference section this morning. More coming when I get back from Florida (I will be in St.Cloud/Kissimmee/Orlando area from june 24th through July 5th).

1991 Mustang upper door hinge/fender bolt detail. 1991 Mustang lower door hinge and interior light switch detail. Door latch/build info decal detail.(located halfway up the door) Mustang door striker/door jamb detail.(located halfway up the door jamb area) Drivers side tailpipe exit under the bumper. Passanger side tailpipe exit under rear bumper. Radio baseplate located on the passanger front fender roughly 4 inches forward of the fender-to-windshield seam and set 2/3rds the way out from the fender-to-hood seam on the flat of the fender top. It is 2.6" long by 1.5" wide by .52" tall (at its outer edge as it tapers to a lower height as it gets closer to the fender-to-hood seam). The sides are taper shaped, the 1.5" is measured at the antenna mount and it tapers to a slightly narrower 1.25" width at its front and rear faces. 1987-93 Mustang GT lower front facia showing the 'gills' are actually open, versus the closed moldings that Revell gives us on the 87-92GT and the 1993 Cobra offerings. I hope these have been at least slightly helpful. Once the camera/computer/photobucket/here all play nice, I will have a boatload more reference pics from under the hood, with the hatch open, and maybe even some from under the car.

Front seatbelt latch mounting point (located between seat cushion and center console about even with the back end of the seat cushion). Front seatbelt latch detail. Running Horse logo in the passanger side dash cove (I believe all 1987-93 Mustangs got these. 1993 Cobras MIGHT have the coiled snake emblem). Passanger side under-dash detailing (mostly A/C ducting). 1987-93 Mustang dash detail. Gauge detail/tripometer-odometer reset pin. Front seatbelt shoulder belt floor mounting position (just forward of the rear of the door seam). Front seatbelt shoulder belt upper mount (located just forward of the quarter glass on the side beam). Better shot of the rear seatbelt passthrough in the plastic inner panels. Cubby hole area at the ends of the lower rear seat cushion on either end (in the side plastics).

Front seat belt passthrough on the quarter window inside ledge (the retract/inertia reel is bolted to the floor behind the interior panel). Rear seatbelt shoulder restraint buckle detail (and rear speaker cover plate detail). Located on the rear side panels verticle with the rear seatbacks. Rear seatbelt latches (located centrally to the center of the lower seat cushion). They bolt to the floor on either side of the trans tunnel under the cushion. Garment hooks located at the corner of the roof just forward of the hatch beam and screw to the roof side beam) Overheard dome light (located on headliner just back from the front seat line) Front 'Map' light located at the very front center headliner just above the rearview mirror. Climate control/radio stack in the 1987-93 Mustangs (1979-82 and 1983-86 are different) dash waterfall area. 1987-93 Mustang center console ashtray door in the closed position. The avobe door in its' natural position, broken open. The spring that holds these shut will break just to have something to do, and no one remakes them. Almost any 1987-93 FOX you run into will have this problem.

Sunvisor swivel fitting (located at the outer ends of the sunvisor unit). Sunvisor retaining clip (located at the inner end of the sunvisor on the crossbar for the front windshield). Inside rearview mirror mounting lug. Passanger side lighted vanity on back of sunvisor. Emergency/park brake handle in the 1987-93 Mustangs. Door speaker covers for cars equipped (and some not equipped) with premium sound system). Drivers side lighted vanity sunvisor (note, no velcroed cover on drivers side).

Back of the rear seats showing latch detail and carpet attachment point. Interior door pull handle (located on the upper forward of the door panel from 1981-1993). Manual mirror adjuster (located at the very top front of the door panel). The cutout in the rear side plastics for rear shock mounting access. The cargo area pull-over cover mounting tabs/locks (these changed from year to year or year groups, this is the placement in 1991). Manual window crank handle (again, year group specific as they changed over the production run) Inner door lock button (1981-1993) located back on the top of the door panel. 1979-80 were horizonal in the armrest stub facing forward towards the window crank. This is just the first batch of MANY pics to come. Time is a constraint for me, so I will post when I have more time.
