Model - 1990 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 - Revell Box stock, a clean as possible showroom condition build ( I stripped the paint 3 times on the hood and twice on the body to get here. HUGE effort to get to this stage, I’m really proud and Can’t believe I pulled through 😀) Notes - Paint is a 2025 Mustang GTD Polymatic Grey by Firescale Polished with a dspiae rotary tool with Menzerna #2500, #3800 polishing compounds Autoglym “super resin finish” polish Colour matched flocking and interior paint Diluted the inner amber turn signal lenses to have them differ to the outer as per references. Sanded and Tamiya cement painted tires Deliberately left the door handle in paint colour Also leaving out using the rear plate felt best visually for me. Can’t bring myself to paint the 5.0 badge with an alcohol pen. Attempted dry brushing 4 times, no chance. One day maybe. Pros First polishing success First clean panel accent line and lamp success Cons Few assembly errors Few paint errors Build Thread - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/scale_technics

Hi all. This is my first post here, so I hope it works and is in the right place. This is my 'cutaway' Tamiya 1/20 Lotus 102b, driven by Mika Hakkinen during the 1991 season. The aim of the build was to see the extra detail without having to touch the model. I didn't build it to win prizes (some of the detail isnt the best to look at up close), but rather to express an idea of how to display something differently. It's more about the overall effect. I hope you all like it. I entered it at my "local" show- Australian Model Expo, held annually in Melbourne. One of the judges liked it enough to ask to feature it on his website and YouTube channel, check it out here:

Yet another Revell 29 build! Went MOSTLY box stock with this one, but with a few little tweaks... I flipped the front cross member to lower the front end, swapped the wheels and tires for Boyd Alumacoupe ones and replaced the kit rear shocks for some scratchbuilt ones. Added some photoetch and shot the paint with Createx airbrush colors, Pearl Ex powders and Testors clear topcoat. Oh, and swapped the drum brakes for some resin disk brakes. Ended up with a kinda 90s look, so I used a 90s era correct license plate and added a tinted windshield and gave a very light pink tint to the headlight lenses to match some of the colors used in the build. Build thread here, for anyone curious: Thanks for looking!
