Funkychiken Posted August 29, 2023 Author Posted August 29, 2023 It came out OK, but a small bit of paint has come off with the tamiya asking tape - which has really hacked me off, i'm going to have to try to touch up with a paint brush? 1
dino246gt Posted August 30, 2023 Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) I just Googled "nav screen" images and printed out on paper then glued on, then brushed some flat clear acrylic, here's the image I used: Edited August 30, 2023 by dino246gt

I have enough Mustang kits to make use of these! Hi were did you get the chrome sheet with all the Mustang badges.!

Rattlecan Dan Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 Doing a great job. Very sharp, and great detail. Nice color too. 1
Blueprint Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 This pic is from my review of the 2019 Mustang GT - maybe not close enough, but it's the actual screen! 2
Blueprint Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 My full Mustang GT review is linked below. It's in French, but click on the lead pic to open up a whole set of detail pics! https://www.autohebdo.net/editorial/20190821/ford-mustang-gt-premium-2019-essai-routier/ 1
slusher Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 Real nice paint and finish. Nothing to touch up a. Spot with a brush.. going too be a beautiful model! 1
mustang1989 Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 Paint looks great so far despite the blemish down low. Most certainly recoverable though. Daniel's got a great idea for that screen you were talking about. 1

Funkychiken Posted September 20, 2023 Author Posted September 20, 2023 I forgot to paint this bit of the rear underbody in the body colour, so I have to mask, spray a few coats of Zero grey, Pagini red, smoke and clear. I used Zero 1K thinned with Mr Color Levelling thinner. it's turned out OK, not perfect edges, but it'll be ok I've also drilled out the exhaust pipe holes, I'll be using a bit of alu tube. 1
Funkychiken Posted September 20, 2023 Author Posted September 20, 2023 If you go back to the begining of the thread, you'll see the mess I made of the interior by removing the seats - I definately regret it now, but managed to start repairing the 2 holes either side of the centre transmission tunnel.
bobss396 Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 I have one of those kits started, to replicate (sort of) my '20 Mustang. I forget where I got the Cobra-ish wheels from, going almost box stock and made red caliper covers for it. I found a close match to Kona Blue in Duplicolor. 1
NOBLNG Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 This is coming along nicely. I too love that color!? 1
dino246gt Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 You didn't make a mess of the interior. Once it's back together, it'll look way better than seats molded to the floor. I do that anytime I have seats molded in. You did good! 1
Funkychiken Posted October 9, 2023 Author Posted October 9, 2023 So I was waiting to clear coat at the same time as my Mazda MX5, but decided to bring this forward. the clear coat did work well (Zero 2K), but its unfortunately darker than the unmasked bits. I'll live with it!
Funkychiken Posted October 9, 2023 Author Posted October 9, 2023 I also masked & sprayed the window trim BADLY! I'm going to have to redo it all. worst i've ever done!
Funkychiken Posted October 9, 2023 Author Posted October 9, 2023 I've also painted and coloured the trim of all the lights, that little strip under the rear wing was a pain! Unfortunately the tail lamps are a weak & I managed to brake one in half ? Not a happy builder at the moment
