shoopdog Posted September 4, 2022 Posted September 4, 2022 Was able to wrap this one up today. The moment I opened this one up I saw I had a turd to deal with, that’s before I saw the crushed drivers side A pillar. Can’t wait for the Revell 71 Mustang! Paint is Tamiya TS19 Metallic Blue cleared with TS13 and the lower silver accent is Tamiya TS30. Thanks for looking. 3
vamach1 Posted September 4, 2022 Posted September 4, 2022 An admirable build considering all the kits shortcomings. It’s too bad Round2 did not use the original AMT molds and just rebranded the flawed MPC as an AMT kit. I would not blame you if you glued the hood shut because of the incorrect kits engines and toy like engine compartment. The Revell kit is going to be a great improvement over the original AMT and MPC issues.

bisc63 Posted September 5, 2022 Posted September 5, 2022 About as good as that kit can look. Gorgeous paint!
cobraman Posted September 5, 2022 Posted September 5, 2022 That ain't no turd my friend. Looks very nice.
espo Posted September 5, 2022 Posted September 5, 2022 The exterior finishes all look great and correct. I like the body color and finish.
AMT68 Posted September 5, 2022 Posted September 5, 2022 Excellent work on the paint, trim and decals. I've never used TS-19 and it appears to be maybe a shade lighter than TS-54 from the pictures.
charger74 Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 You turned this turd in one great looking mustang

Mike 1017 Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 Very nice. I bought 4 of these when it was a Ertl-Amt kit. 3 out of 4 had the driver's side A pillars were crushed. It is comforting that some things never change Mike
happy grumpy Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 You did a great job out of a somewhat basic kit. Like you I wait for the revell version. I like the paint job.
Peter Lombardo Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 Like everyone said, a tough kit that you did a great job on. It looks terrific in the beautiful blue you sprayed on it.
RAMBENNA Posted September 7, 2022 Posted September 7, 2022 very nicely done, looks great. this is a hard kit to get to look good and you nailed it.
