You got the shade of gold just right it looks real sweet.I used a piece of window screen for the grill on mine but I got the color a little off. These amt funny’s are so fun to build . round 2  keep them coming.

Thanks Steve. I used Tamiya TS-21 Gold lacquer rattle can spray for the base color and then clear coated it with Tamiya TS-13. I tried to apply a multitude of really thin clear coats and allowed them to fully cure overnight to prevent the “hot” TS-13 from reacting with the metallic gold. I still encountered a few funny crystalline areas on this Mustang which showed up a day after spraying the final “wet” clear coat application. It’s almost as if the wet coat I applied managed to seap through the thin layers of cured lacquer and react with the gold. I have had the same problem with TS-13 over Tamiya silver leaf. I’m open for any ideas/ suggestions for a good hard lacquer-like clear coat that doesn’t react with metallic base coats (not interested in carcinogenic 2K or acrylics/ Future).

Very nice build. Love those A/FX match racers.
