yellowsportwagon Posted March 27, 2022 Posted March 27, 2022 Not my best build but it’ll pass. The Parts Box resin kit built out of the box but lowered. 5
Bob Ellis Posted March 27, 2022 Posted March 27, 2022 Is it a Mustang or a Torino, I ask myself. Very nice model.

Silver Foxx Posted March 27, 2022 Posted March 27, 2022 This looks great , like the colour , well done .
Bills72sj Posted March 27, 2022 Posted March 27, 2022 Dang! That is way cool! I gotta get one of those. Nice color combo.
yellowsportwagon Posted March 28, 2022 Author Posted March 28, 2022 Just realized I forgot to black in the hood scoops.Duh!!
iamsuperdan Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 Very cool! I don't think I've ever seen a build of one of these that wasn't Max's car!
Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 Looks amazing! I'd kill for a good kit of an Aussie Falcon.
ea0863 Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 Way cool, and right hand drive to boot! That would be awesome to drive around in Las Vegas where I live!
alan barton Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 Mate, you nailed it! I had to laugh, as I looked at your photos I thought "I will have to tell him about the hood scoop inserts!" and now as I read down I see you realised it! All good. Thepartsbox.com does beautiful models and I am good friends with the guy who did some of the original masters that thepartsbox then massaged and improved to what you have today. You have done a superb job on the XB GT! I believe there are quite a few in the States these days. These are a very expensive car in Australia these days and COVID tax has pushed the prices way up. They regularly sell for between 100 and 200 thousand and that's for an average one, not an outstanding one. About thirty years ago I had the opportunity to buy a clean six cylinder one for $1400 - shoulda, woulda, coulda! Cheers Alan

Cheers Alan Thanks Alan Teenty years ago you could have one bought and shipped to the states for 15,000. So yes I should have!! One of my all time favorite cars. I took some artistic liberties with this one. But I did it how I thought they look coolest.
Darbo Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 Great build, always wanted to build a Alan Moffat race car
espo Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 Beautiful paint finish and I like how the green looks with the silver accents. The wheels look sort of like something from a Farrari.
TonyK Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 Nice job on this model. Eric Bana (actor) had one of these a while back and made a movie about his car. Can't remember the name.
spencer1984 Posted March 29, 2022 Posted March 29, 2022 Excellent work! I keep meaning to pick up one of these kits, you've shown how good it can look. 20 hours ago, TonyK said: Nice job on this model. Eric Bana (actor) had one of these a while back and made a movie about his car. Can't remember the name. It was Love the Beast. I'm usually not one for documentary/interview-style movies, but had to buy this one after watching it. I'm sure it was entirely because of the subject.
vamach1 Posted March 29, 2022 Posted March 29, 2022 Very nice Falcon. A friend gave me this diecast years ago. It says Model 56 Interceptor on the bottom.
unclescott58 Posted April 27, 2022 Posted April 27, 2022 Love those early’70s Aussie Fords. Very nice.
89AKurt Posted April 27, 2022 Posted April 27, 2022 Looks really good from here, other than the hood scoops, pictures usually reveal every flaw I miss. ? Nice metallic green paint job. I recently had a conversation on Fakebook about these cars, didn't know how valuable they are.
kruleworld Posted May 4, 2022 Posted May 4, 2022 yellowsportwagon, awesome build of a factory correct XB falcon. we don't see many of these here.

I've got one of those Model 56 diecasts. they are not very accurate and not very well made. I used the body to make the Road Warrior 'Bat xa' car. 1
