JTalmage Posted May 23, 2022 Posted May 23, 2022 Another one from my archives of somewhat recent builds. This is the Revell basic builder/snap kit, molded in yellow. I love the color these came in called "Guard Metallic" which is sort of a green with a gray tint to it. Anyway, I loved that color so much I had some mixed in basecoat. I foiled the emblems before paint and sanded the paint off before clear. Detailed the window trim, all the lights, and even printed some headlights on paper to put behind the clear lenses to make it look a little better. Interior has basic details painted. I later 3d printed some mirrors for the 2015-up Mustangs and painted those and cleared them, and glued them on the car. So most of these pics, the car won't have door mirrors. The paint is auto body supply mixed basecoat/2k clear out of a rattle can. I painted the windows and wheels with Future to give them a more glossy look. The windows in these kits are really flat-clear looking. Enjoy 4
StanGlover Posted May 23, 2022 Posted May 23, 2022 Excellent work! Do you have a link for the cad file for those mirrors? I need an S-550 for my collection but the lack of mirrors on this kit has been a huge turnoff.

Long story but I had to modify this mirror file from an existing file which took a lot of work, as I'm not that great with any CAD programs.
Tommy124 Posted May 24, 2022 Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) Great job on the "headlights problem". I did it the same way, printed out images that would fit angle-wise and glued them onto the headlight glass. However, I used the look of toned down (darker) headlights and tail lights.

Zen Posted May 24, 2022 Posted May 24, 2022 Very nice! Would love to find some mirrors to do a replica of my 2017 GT in Magnetic metallic.
