MrBuick Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Just finished this "Bullitt" Mustang...the Charger to go along with it is going on the workbench tomorrow.
snacktruck67 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 What color and brand of paint did you use? I had a 67 pony which was Moss Green. That finish looks very close.
DumpyDan Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Vey cool, is this plastic or die cast? only asking because of the hood hinges

Vey cool, is this plastic or die cast? only asking because of the hood hinges This one's a Revell die cast kit...I picked it up and the accompanying charger at a garage sale a week or so ago for $3 each and couldn't resist. The body's are pre-decorated, but pretty nicely done, so they make for quick buildups. Slight buffing was needed on the Musting body because it had some light scratches and blemishes, and the engine, chassis, etc is all molded in black, so there was some painting to be done there to make it display better, but not a ton. This was a nice, leisurely build. I still need to do a few things...I need to do a bit more detailing under the hood (battery, radiator, and I'm gonna order a pre-wired dist. and drill out the molded in one and replace it), and the chassis needs a screw hole filled in the fuel tank, but it's going on the shelf for now.

disabled modeler Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Colby...Nice Mustang..! Me I am not into the die-cast stuff but still it turned out really nice. And at those prices who would not buy them.
MrBuick Posted March 20, 2016 Author Posted March 20, 2016 That's where I was with it...these are the first die cast kits I've done (I didn't even know die cast kits existed...I thought they were all pre-built), but at $6 for the pair I had to snag them (heck, people are trying to get $30 for just the Mustang on eBay).
disabled modeler Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 You just cant beat any really cheap kits these days....that is why I go to garage sales,etc. looking for them. I just got a old Revell kit of the Mayflower dated 1966 mint still sealed inside yet...it was cheap..! Even though its not what I like to build it was too good to pass on.
espo Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Turned out real nice, look forward to the Charger. Bullitt is my all time favorite movie.
Sixties Sam Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Very nice! I loved that movie - saw it when it came out in '68. Greatest chase scene ever! Good work on your model!Sam
JTalmage Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Great build. I built both of them (mustang and charger) when they both came out years ago. Great for die cast cars... but then Revell came out with the plastic version of the 68 Mustang... it was basically the die cast made out of plastic... disappointing. Then they came out with the Cobra Jet version... which still has the Bullitt parts in the kit.
