'78Mustang II Cobra

[Mustang Madness]

This kit was a Revell "Monroe Handler Street Racer"  released in 1979,  It was one of the first models I ever built back in the day,  I found one on ebay unbuilt a couple weeks ago and snagged it,  but instead of doing it in it's original Monroe yellow and blue, I opted for a more regular color choice. 

Wheels are out of a '68 Mustang kit,  tires are from the Monroe kit,  exhaust tips are aluminum tube.

Nice to see another one of your builds -VERY nice!!!!  -I've been eye-balling one of these kits for a while now. Any issues with it?

Hey Dan how's it goin' ..  thanks for the comment, there was no issues with it,  I was working on the AMT 1:16 '65 Mustang and I was getting a little bored with it, I bought this off of ebay and started on this one.  I got this done over the space of a week and it went together nice.  Tires are a two piece deal and they're like a hard vinyl type material which I didn't care for too much but the kit went together pretty well and i'm happy with it. Headlamps were just chrome plated with no clear lens, so I used some Testors clear plastic glue and built up a lens on them to try and disguise the simple chrome ones they used.

Love it! A lot of people hate the II's, I see them as a return to form for the Mustang after the Fat Albert, almost "Diet Thunderbird" years of '71-3. I'd really like to see this kit reissued one of these days.

Thanks for the comments guys, I appreciate it.   Yes Chuck I agree I would like to see this kit reissued too!

love it, I wished more would be built

I remember these, I built one back in the day and it never looked like this, really nice work.

There was something very satisfying building this kit,  one, was that I had built one back around 1979 and I felt like I was revisiting that time again and, two, it felt great to be building a kit that was produced in 1979 and had somehow made it through 37 years without being built!
