Toy Show Rescue--'94 Mustang

[Snake45]

Bought this '94 Mustang promo at this month's toy show for $5. It was complete, intact, and undamaged, but filthy, especially inside. The finish was perfect--very shiny, and not a scratch or smudge on it. I didn't have to do a thing. 

The glass seals had been somewhat sloppily painted, so I had to remove some of that with alcohol and re-do it. The chrome wheels had been sloppy painted with some kind of silver paint, so I had to strip those and repainted them with Krylon Satin Nickel. Sanded the tire treads. Painted the backup lights with acrylic white pearl over Silver Sharpie, and the taillights with Stop Light Red Metallic over gloss orange (for better coverage). Front parking lights are white pearl over flat white. Front side markers are Turn Signal Amber over orange; headlights are a thin coat of the acrylic white pearl over the kit chrome. Had probably 6-8 hours in it altogether. It's amazing how just a little color detailing can bring one of these things to life, isn't it? Thanks for looking, and, as always, comments welcome.

nice save, Snake...

Taking nothing away from your restoration, I think what you have there is a Snap Fast Plus edition - not a promo. I looked online and couldn't find 94 Mustang promos in that color.

With that interior combo, it looks like one of these.

Still a nice save, Snake!

Nice job on the promo.  I've built a couple Monogram '94 kits, and am working on an AMT '94 now.  It's hard to pick a favorite of the two - they're both good.
