That is awesome. I love this type of car and this Mustang looks good with a big wing on it.
-
Good old Grabber Green...one of my favorite colors of all time, especially on a Boss Mustang. I like the engine too.
-
Fantastic build. I really like it, makes me wish I could build with that kind of detail and complex painting.
-
cool, never thought I'd see someone build the revised version of the Mustang. I have some pictures of it, if you don't have these already.

That has pictures of both the older and newer versions.

That looks really good, the wheels look nice too.
-
Wow, nice! I have one sitting half-finished...really it just needs painted because I messed up the first attempt. That looks excellent.
I have a resin IMSA Cougar body sitting around that I bought a while ago. Not sure if I'll be able to do anything with it, it's got a broken A-pillar and part of the spoiler is missing. But it's my favorite of all the IMSA cars.
-
That's neat! Are you going to make it nice and shiny, or beat-up and broken like the ones in the game? I vote for shiny.
-
HEY! that Leeza Z On the top left looks familiar.....
here is a completed Honda Beat:
Aftermarket Aoshima wheels & a little ride height adjustment in the front. other than those, it's built out of the box.
looks good! I have a set of those wheels, I don't know what car to put them on yet. I kinda like the Suzuki Alto. Or maybe the Midget II, which is even smaller.
-
Looks real nice, one of my favorite Mustangs. I know the transkit is expensive, but it looks like it's worth it, with the quality and detail included.
-
Awesome! I have the #25 version of that kit, along with a couple of the IMSA ones that used the same basic tooling. I have a Penngwen resin Merkur body waiting to be built with a Camaro donor chassis, as well as a resin IMSA Cougar body that needs some repairs made before it can get built.
Sigh, if only I had the ability to do them right.

these are pretty rough, there's a long way to go...but it's something.

oh boy...I agree on the chrome parts attached in bad spots. also, clear parts can suffer from bad sprue design. engine halves that don't line up no matter what you do, and tires that have severe marks on the tread from the mold, or got misaligned completely.
also, radiator hoses are a pain in the butt no matter what you do
but my biggest pet peeve is when I screw up and don't notice until it's too late. glue on a body panel, scratches on the windshield, cutting a part too deep, sanding too much from a body panel, or having the whole darn thing put together before I realize I missed a bunch of mold lines. -
This is a great tutorial. It's really amazing how much more goes into it than just gluing and painting...that's probably why my models look so primitive

The reasons for the big differences between the two cars was a rule change. The rules used to be that the car had to run the same tub and roof line as well as the doors had to be off the production car. Later on they changed it so only the tub and roof line had to be off the production car.
That's interesting...I did not know that. Pretty cool though.

I stumbled upon these pictures a while ago, and I was just thinking someone could find them useful. I didn't know before seeing these, but there's actually two versions of this car, one that differs quite a bit from the version that Monogram made available as a kit. So if you have one of these on your shelf and are looking for something interesting to do with it, you could try scratchbuilding the one with the updated aerodynamic bits. (I can't scratchbuild much, especially since I have no sheet styrene.
) The 16 car looks just like the kit, and the 6 car has strange wheel openings, new wing, and the doors stick out to match the fenders. There are some other slight changes also.
There's also a few pics of a red one that is slightly different from the Miller version of the kit, with more red on the hood and fenders.

Nice job on the sprint car. My dad had that kit, but he never finished it.
Nice looking sprint car! I've always liked that one.If it'll make ya feel any better, the Revell SCCA Trans Am Camaros have Ford engines with Chevy valve covers!
It's amazing how much they re-used from the 80's IMSA Mustang kit for the Camaro.
-
Nice! I love the IMSA cars. You really made this one shine.
-
Ooh, neato. I am interested in this for sure. The more Fords the better
-
If you left out the pictures where the car is on its side and the ones without the body, you could've passed it off as a full-size vehicle.
It's that good. -
Nice! Looks just like the unlockable '93 Pajero in the video game Dirt 2. Super detailed and clean build.
-
I built one of those Cougars and a Thunderbird. Nice but a little tricky to put together.
-
I know I would love to see more trucks. Maybe they wouldn't sell well, who knows, but I would sure buy a bunch for what it's worth. I built a 91 F250, and the 99 Lightning, and also the 92 F150 Stepside...even if it was a resin kit, I've always wanted a 92-96 model Bronco. (metallic blue with a white top, just like the real one my dad used to have

Hi, I've been reading the forums for a few weeks now and haven't posted yet. I really like to see the finished models that everyone turns out. It's just amazing how realistic they can be. I'm nowhere near as good as most of you, but I try.

That's super clean and nice. I love the wheels, glad you didn't cover them up. I wish I had like, 20 sets of those wheels just to put on every kit I build.
