da_ashman Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Hey Guys I always wanted to build a newer version of Eleanor, to sit along side the 69 Eleanor. I started with Revells kit, threw the tires & wheels in the bin & went from there. Everythings scratchbuilt, only aftermarket item used were the hood pins. Big tanks to David Thibodeau for the Youtube build of the 69 Eleanor, I used his tip on masking stripes for this build, Pretty happy with how it came out overall. Cheers for looking Ash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Cheers Everyone! Belugawrx - I made template for the shape on the computer & cut them out of vinyl, applied that to 1.5mm styrene & cut out, then just added a couple of spacers on the body & glued the cut styrene flare on & putty, sand & repeat till I was happy. Sadly there no aftermarket products for this mustang, except for Plamoz's 2012 update set. Forgot to mention, body is painted Zero Paints 'Pepper Grey' or Eleanor grey & i printed my own decals for the side stripes because Revell only give you white or Silver. Cheers again everyone!
