AMT 1967 Mustang GT Fastback.

[Dragonhawk1066]

All finished with the AMT 1967 Mustang GT Fastback. It's painted in a custom mixed concoction of craft paints to emulate the factory Brittany Blue color. The two-tone interior was done using a couple of different mixtures of craft paint as well. The window trim is BMF, and the grill/trunk "trim" was painted with Molotow Chrome. The front end sits a little higher than I'd like, but research shows that a lot of the real ones look this way anyways for some reason. All in all though, It's a pretty decent kit with nice details, and most everything fits real well. It was a nice, fun build, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Thanks for looking!

Sweet ride, and perfect slightly nose-up stance this era Mustang is known for.

Very nice Mustang. A tidy build. I think you got the colour about right. Nice to see this seldom seen colour. Lots of Mustangs in period with the nose riding high. Well done.

Thanks! I thin the craft paints with a "homebrew" thinner consisting of 3 parts distilled water, 1 part isopropyl alcohol, and 4-6 drops of glycerin, as a flow improver, per 8 oz. batch. Plain blue automotive windshield washer fluid can also be used to thin, which is what I started out using until I found the thinner recipe. Thin to right around the consistency of milk, and it should be just right, but trial and error will let you know what consistency you are comfortable with. Pretty much any clear can be used, although I would be nervous with enamels. I've used Tamiya TS-13, Pledge Floor Gloss, and on this one, and several others, I used Decoart Gloss Varnish that I wet-sanded, polished with Novus #2, and waxed, all after about 4 or 5 days curing.

Awesome!

Great work Craig and that color is perfect. It is rather difficult to find such a blue with the current Dupli-Color offerings. Custom mixing seems to be the only way to go for such a color.

Very nicely done.  I built this kit a few years after it when it came out and added a few parts from Larry Boothe’s masters that Norman cast and sold in his R&MofMD line.  I forget what color I used but I’m guessing it was a Testors model masters or perhaps from the Car colors line.  I added two more pictures to show the blue color better as the first two appear much darker than it looks in person with good lighting.
