Dave Van Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Well done!! I like the kit, I built the FORD version. The kit was designed by Mustang guy Bob Johnson after Ford came to Monogram wanting a kit made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phildaupho Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 (edited) Great looking model got me thinking of the evolution of Mustang race cars. This is one of the more radical in the almost 60 year history although it got pretty wild in the 1980's.

Justin Porter Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 It's always fun to see one of these Monogram sports car kits completed. Yours looks really great with the added details and the alternate color scheme. How were the Speedline decals to work with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RancheroSteve Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 Thanks for the kind words, everyone. 7 hours ago, Justin Porter said:  How were the Speedline decals to work with? The decals were great. I'd had them sitting around for a few years - not even sure where I bought them at this point - but no problems getting them to go on. Besides giving you the option of doing either the white or red version, they are crisper and the gold lines are a true metallic as they should be. The one area where they missed the boat a little is at the back of the car under the spoiler - the decal there needs to be white to stand out against the red (on the version I did), so I ended up making my own decal for that. I found a font on my computer that was close, scaled it to size, then printed red on white decal paper. The other slight mistake is that the decal guide doesn't show the white going down off the roof and around the back window. A difficult masking job, but worth it, I think. Finally, the red paint I used doesn't match the red on the decals as closely as I'd like - my mistake here, but at least it's not very noticeable in the photos, ha. p.s. Indycals now does decals for the car, but only the white version: https://www.indycals.net/decals/lemans/81millermustang.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
