Revell Snaptite 2018 Mustang. Was orange plastic. Decided it needed a new color. The headlights had a silver paint on the back. I took that off and put the Molotow chrome on thinking it would look better. It doesn't.

Look very different in gold. I really don't know what devell was thinking when they design that headlight!
 

My way of dealing with theheadlamps was i to print some 1:1 pics of the headlamps and fitted behind the clear plastic, much betterthan the fakes d lamps

Thank you Michelle, Ray and J. Pierre. These Snaptite kits are easy and can be made to look pretty nice. A break from painting and fiddling with all the more intricate kits.

Basically looks pretty good!
But you‘re right about the headlights, it‘s the #1 PITA about this (actually quitegood) kit.

When I did mine, I looked on the internet for some tinted real car headlights which I scaled down and printed out on regular paper. Not as perfect as real headlights, but an acceptable compromise.

Great looking Mustang. I like the different light color you used on the body. The trim all looks very cleanly done.

Wow Tommy. Yours is way better than mine. It's beautiful. I didn't clear coat mine because I'm not doing well with that. I have to Revive it yet.  And hand are too shaky to do the 50 on the side.
