Great looking paint work and cleanly detailed trim. With the mirrors and driver's position this looks like a home market car. When I first saw one of these 1:1 cars around 1974 I first thought it was a Mustang.

Looks great! I heard a rumor a while back that importing and facelifting these was considered as an alternative to what eventually became the Mustang II. With that rear overhead shot, you can certainly see some inspiration for the idea.

That looks cool. I'd love to build an American spec model of that!

Is that an Aoshima kit?

Yes, it's not a bad little kit.  There's things I like and don't like about it.

Always liked these cars and yours is a very sharp looking build Eric , well done !  I bought a couple of these models when I was on Okinawa in '75 , wish I still had them .

I built this kit but with a major modification.  The body is well rendered, the interior is adequate considering it's from the motorized era.  Bummer about the A-pillars, but the important thing is you finished it!  Looks good.  I always thought it looked like a proper Mustang too.

Beautiful job on the paint and detailing on the bright work trim and front and rear ends. 

I had a full size one of these in ‘76, the first new car for me after driving $300 beaters thru college, mine was the metallic green with tan interior, the  performance was mediocre (like most 70’s cars) but the build quality and reliability was rock solid. It was the first car I could take stress-free road trips in. Also my first car with an FM radio and a 5 spd stick. I still love the downsized Mustang styling of these.
