AMT '70 Mustang Mach1 annual resto.

[Can-Con]

Always wanted an AMT '70 annual but they're bloody expensive, if you can find one.

Lucked into this one in a trade with a great fellow builder [Mike Mackie AKA mk11] who took pity on me. LOL

Pretty rough to start with. Hogged out wheel wells and missing a lot of parts.

I used some parts from an MPC '70 and a Monogram 1/24 '70 and, most importantly, a resin front bumper front bumper from Ragtop Man. [Thanks again Bob] and the loan of a grille from Kelson [Thanks Curtis]

So, here's a couple "before" pics,,

, , And a year later , ,

Looks great and with the added details like the shock tower braces, brake booster and master cylinder and plus wire boots to name a few.
