That is some TASTY lemonade right there! Great job!!

That kit HAS to be one of Revells worst offerings ever!!

in my opinion if you didnt have any trouble putting together the build then it was a failed build completely, you dont learn anything from it.

just my .02 cents

it turned out great though

That has too be the worst nose on a mustang I've ever seen. The horse emblem looks out of place and too big. The nose is too flat looks chopped off. Did you cut the nose that way? That being said, the rest of it looks pretty nice. Where did the convertible boot come from? I have not seen one like it.

Where did you get those wheels from???

Really clean build, even though the basic kit has a few accuracy issues. I like the color and the wheels. Revell seemed to be out of touch in the 80's- witness that disguised Dodge Ramcharger they tried to pass off as a Ford Bronco (even O.J. wouldn't want that one). Great job.

thanks guys!

front clip is all the way Revell made it. i know it looks wierd...the whole car does since it's a car that didn't come with a year on the box so i have to assume it's an '82 or '83. the body doesn't say Ford or Mustang on it anywhere and the horse emblem in the grille is more like a dog or something lol

the car had lots of fit issues, but mainly because i put a different chassis under it with tubs and did the rear seat "delete". oh and the fact it didn't have a windsheild, i made that one from another kit to fit this car. the front wheelbase is too wide, but nothing i could do about it.

wheels are from AMT '57 chevy vette kit and tires are from revell pro street willys.

colors are Autumn Maple Red Metallic by Dupli Color and Platinum by Dupli Color. the Black is all primer by Dupli Color. the Aluminum inside the car is Metalizer by Model Masters shot through my air brush. there is so much aftermarket in the car, it's not easy to list all that haha!
