I actually painted this kit some time ago, and it sat in it's box until this year. I started the build earlier this year, and completed it last month. It was airbrushed with House of Kolor Zenith Gold, and House of Kolor Bronze Pearl stripes. It was clear coated with House of Kolor Klear, then polished. All the paints are acrylic lacquers, and they spray very nicely once thinned with a quality lacquer thinner. For automotive paints like these, I use Dupont Slow thinner #3602S. The word "Slow" always throws people. It really doesn't dry much slower than regular lacquer thinner, it just doesn't flash off quite as quickly. I honestly can't recall where I got the wheels and tires, but I'm thinking maybe another Mustang kit, although I don't know which one since these were in my wheel and tire parts box without being labelled. I stripped the front and rear bumpers and painted them body color for a monochromatic look. Ignition wires and hoses were added as well. It wasn't a difficult build at all, everything fit well, except for the air cleaner and carb which interfered a little with the hood closing properly. Thanks for looking.

I think it looks great, I really like the color and the side pipes.

That is one wild looking vehicle. Excellent work customizing it to your liking.

Very nice Trans Am, looking pretty good for a 20 year old build.

I'm in Clover.

Issue #224 arrived in upstate South Carolina on Thursday, June 6, 2024. Another excellent issue.

Beautiful build in every way. That engine compartment is truly superb. Well done.

Very nice build, two in a row, cool color, excellent details, well done.

Outstanding build, very nice color choice, excellent details all around.

Awesome build of a very rare kit. Excellent two tone color combo, very well detailed. Two thumbs up ??

Awesome work Michelle. Very nice color. I like how you mix and match your builds.

Go big or go home. Very nice build, exceptional detail, very nice finish all around.

I admire the skills it takes to create this kind of detail. I’ve never weathered a car I built but yours is exceptional. The addition of the snake is a nice touch.

Great job, very nice.

That is so cool. Excellent concept, great color combo, well done.

Excellent build.

Outstanding, excellent color choice, not much more I can say that hasn’t already been written, except I really like your build.

Definite improvement over the original. Nice job.

Very well done Mustang. Looks good in white and the red interior. I agree, looks like a good 3D print. Although I’ll admit I don’’t know much about 3D printing, not having entered that area of our hobby.

I like it. Very cool cruiser, beautiful paint.

Very cool build. Wild looking custom. Beautiful paint, what is it?

Vert nice Ferrari. Nice to see one in a different color. Your engine detailing is excellent.

Looks great, very happy this lit is available again. Well done.

One word: Gorgeous. Additionally, beautiful paint, excellent detailing throughout and that engine is exceptional.

Beautiful build of a very swoopy looking vehicle. Exceptional photography.
