2010 Mustang Convertible

[bh1701]

Here is my 1/25th scale 2010 Mustang convertible. It's the Revell Snap-Kit. I was trying out some new things with this one. Worked on my painting skills by doing a lot of prep work on the body, a lot of wet sanding, and polishing. Trying to get to that shiny smooth finish that many of you are able to get to. I think I'm getting close! Also used embossing powder for the first time for the interior carpet. 

While it's a GT, I did take some liberties with the front end. The real GT has black between the headlights and the Mustang "corral" - so it's a solid black expanse across the front. I prefer seeing the body color dividing the headlights and the corral (like on the non-GT versions). I also noticed that one corner of the convertible boot needs to be snapped in a little tighter. It's a little high on the passenger side.

All in all, I am happy with the results!

Thanks,

Bart

Excellent!

Nice.   I like your interpretation of the front end.  Hey, it's your model, do it the way you like.   One of my favorite car colors too.

Very impressive paint work, and I agree with everyone else on the grill paint treatment, it does look better to my eye anyway. Nicely detailed interior.
