Revell 1981 McClaren Mustang

Box stock build of this old kit.  It’s pretty basic and could use so much extra detailing under the hood but I’m calling it done.  The postcard came with the model.  You can find this kit on auction sites fairly reasonable priced.

Well done Rex.  Love to see these oldies built.

Looks good, very interesting car. Not sure if I ever saw one in the real world.

Nice looking build. I've seen these kits on ebay occasionally but don't ever recall seeing a built version.

Real nice!

Very cool Rex, nice job on an old kit.  I did one of these a few years back and featured it in this post:http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/176585-mclaren-senna/

Very very nice!

I always liked the look of this kit, even with the way-wrong fender flares and undersized wheels and tires. I forgot how plain the engine bay was, but that was just the Revell way in the late '70s.

Thanks for all the comments.  It’s a shame the engine compartment is very plain and the kit is not a great representation of the actual car.  I have some other 79-80 Fox body kits and plan to do a Cobra version with decals from Rays kits.
