Tamiya Mustang GT4 - fantasy livery

[Paul Waymouth]

Never perfect but always fun to build. I took some inspiration from the Australian V8 Supercars Castrol Mustang red and green and with a bit of imagination and some decals from the spares collection I came up with this version of Tamiya’s GT4 Mustang. A lovely kit to build as many of you have experienced. I have another ready to go with the Volt Racing livery, they should look good together

Wow Paul, the GT-4 looks awesome.  Great looking car and build.  One day I might get to mine...was it a relatively easy build?

Nice job Paul. Personally I like fantasy liveries and this one came out nice. 

As a side note, I think you have your front and rear wheel on the passenger side swapped. Front should be concaved (the spokes) and the rear spokes are pretty flat. I might be wrong, it might be just the angle of the photo.

That's one sharp looking Mustang!

Hi TransAmMike, yes an easy build, it went together perfectly. I recommend you get started on yours next!

Hi Jhedir6, thanks for your comment. And yes I think you’re right about the wheels. I had a difficult job fitting the rear one and I couldn’t figure out why, as everything else went together so well. I’d removed the wheels from the sprues and then wrongly assumed they were all the same. Good pick up and lesson for next time, thanks ??

Thanks Paul, I really should.  Most likely when I do it will not be done with race markings.

Not at all mate, it’s a wonderful kit and it’s so cool to see so many different interpretations and liveries.
