Jada 2007 Mustang finished.....finally.....

[Dave Van]

Started in 2007 when these Jada kits first appeared.  I bought it out of curiosity about this new to plastic kit company Jada. A well known die cast manufacture brought out 4 plastic kits. Mustang, Camaro, Ford GT and Vette. The 'models' shown on the box were their die casts and were nothing like the plastic kit inside. While they did have the Jada GIANT wheels and tires they shared noting else. 
This build stalled because I wanted to use a more realistic wheel and tire from Pegasus in place of the 28 inch provided. This did cause a bit of a gap between tire and wheel rim....but I can live with it. No real rear axle or suspension caused me to put it all back in the box....until now. Overall the kits are well engraved and had a good shape/look.  So to restart this build I cobbled up a simple rear axle and trailing arms. The rest of the kit was built box stock other than the wheel/tires. I like the look of the finished kit. The new smaller diameter front wheels made her really nose down.....but nothing is hitting the ground but speed bumps would be dangerous!!! Tamiya Camel yellow with Dupli-color blacks.  

I'd like to have seen what Jada would have done had they kept in the plastic biz.....some parts of this kit are better than the current big three.....anyone have any background on the Jada plastic kits??? Thanks
