doorsovdoon Posted January 20, 2022 Author Posted January 20, 2022 I gouged out the area on the hood that was giving me trouble and filled it with body filler, sanded smooth and that seems to have fixed it. I think it was the brake cleaner I used to strip the paint, it had seeped under a crack in the filler and got trapped is my guess. I tried masking the hood but I just can't get the shape right freehand so I'm leaving it flat black. 1
doorsovdoon Posted January 20, 2022 Author Posted January 20, 2022 Made the suspension tower braces. Keeping with MPC tradition they're not accurate, more a close representation, Lol!
doorsovdoon Posted January 20, 2022 Author Posted January 20, 2022 Got the braces fitted, also made a top rad hose and fitted some heater pipes made out of some headers. 2
doorsovdoon Posted January 20, 2022 Author Posted January 20, 2022 Another one in the bag! I can't say that this kit is bad cos it's not, it's just basic and lacking chassis detail, and interior mirror, and rad hoses, and correct decals, and... you get the point, Lol. I'll post more pics in completed section in the morning.
doorsovdoon Posted January 20, 2022 Author Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) Couple more details I added before I put this in underglass. The hood looked like it needed something so I just painted the trim edge the same body colour which made a huge difference! Also added some decals to the rear panel from the Revell '68 Mustang, I think they were the side decals for the '68. Edited January 20, 2022 by doorsovdoon 1
Sledsel Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 Came out really nice. Personally I prefer the AMT kit.

I was reading through a thread somewhere on here the other day about the MPC and AMT Mustangs. They both seem to have their pros and cons. I'm just glad it's MPC that still survives and not Palmer, Lol! I would like to build the AMT version if I ever find one. 16 hours ago, slusher said: Well done Gareth.. Thanks mate.

I seen this on ebay here, it's the only one listed and at nearly £55! I don't think I'll be building any AMT versions!
