da Speedinger Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 after finishing the 911 fiat 500 i had a turbocharger left and wanted to use it for something special.then i ran across this kit: when i saw the shape of the front bumper with the large opening in the middle i immediately realized its perfect for an intercooler. the target was clear: fit the turbo so it pops in your eyes when you look under the hood, install an intercooler and make the whole car look bad ass. the turbo was installed between the radiator and the engine, which required to make some room for it first. the exhaust manifolds were swapped, so they pointed to the front instead of to the rear and were connected to the turbo. the intercooler is a radiator from the parts box, all connection pipes and hoses needed as well - exhaust is also scratched. additionally i lowered the stance at the front, installed disc brakes, bigger rear tyres, scratched a sort of eleanore rear, front spoiler, racing seat with harness and some more. painting scheme is hertz rent-a-racer with a red underbody. i saw this on a car for sale on ebay and knew i have to make it like this. like black stilettos with a red sole - very sexy. paint job is brushed (as usual for me) and therefore not perfect. but i like it. some pics of the unfinished model and finally the result. hope you like it, too.

Lovefordgalaxie Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 The Mustang looks very nice.I think you should give rattle cans a try, if you are not into airbrushing. A well done can job can be very good looking, and your models would have a outstanding finish, as your detail and overall building skill is great. Think about it. The worse it can happen is you not liking it and going back to brush painting.

DeeCee Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 nicely done, with some good detailing too. Turbo idea really rocks too.
