gotnitro? Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Really nice work ! The Mach had quite the legacy , we bought a 2003 last spring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubermodel Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I wish Revell would fix the mold for the body. If you look at the rear "cap" just behind the quarter panel and above the rear bumper, the driver's side comes to a nice sharp point, while the passenger side looks like it was dropped and dented. The mold has been like this as far back as I can remember, back when there was only the Boss 429 kit in the 1980's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronzekeg Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 I got the body clear coated with testors lacquer and going to wait a couple of days to trim and paint the inner fenders. I'm glad to have found a can of grabber green, it looks nice in real. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMT68 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Coming along very nicely. I've built a few of these (with about another four to build) and I'll have to do one in either the same or a similar green like yours. And they assemble quite well.

NOBLNG Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Looking good Ken. I really like that colour, and the trim should really make it pop!👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vamach1 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Looks like it’s all coming together. One question. Does the rear spoiler have a crinkle finish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rightrudder Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Very nice! You're in the home stretch. Sometimes I drag my heels at this point because I don't want the build to end. I mean, it's nice to set it on the shelf for display, but the real fun is in the building. And other times, I just want to get it off the workbench and start something new!
