satterwhite78 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 WTH! (What the Henry!) Would not believe what I've been through to figure out and upload pictures from my Gallery. Never been a problem until now but it has been resolved. Seems that my last update on my phone converted photos to HCIE instead of jpg configuration and the forum doesn't accept HCIE files. This is a great kit! A really great kit. A detailed 351 Cleveland engine, a detailed chassis espcially the front suspension, correct engine bay and a simple to put together but detailed interior. All of this capped by plenty of decals for the the engine, interior, wheels and body accents. My first choice was yellow but after Googling 71 Mustang Boss 351, I was intrigued with the Grabber Lime. Very few produced in the Boss 351 and 429 variant, not a big seller when introduced in 71 but a highly sought after paint scheme in today's market. Krylon Fusion Gloss Jungle Green is a close match. I do plan on the Yellow version. Overall a joy to build. All the sub sections go together nicely and when applied with others. The only issue is the rear view mirror is applied to the windshield. Can be a big mess if a unsteady hand fumbles the application. 2nd is the lower rocker panel and side stripe decals. Be extra vigilant when sliding the decal off the wet decal paper onto the body. If the decal folds over onto itself it can be a tense standoff to unfold and reapply. Make sure to slide the decal just slightly off the backing paper, apply that part tothe body and pull the backing paper at a slight angle while holding the decal at the starting point as an anchor. You will have to adjust for a straight decal line. Will add a undercarriage pic soon... 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 That is one beautiful Mustang, that color really sets it off. Only problem I see is that there is way too much tread on those rear tires, they should have been melted off by now. Really like your build of this model, wish I hadn't sold mine.

Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Looks great! I went with yellow for mine, but now I might have to grab another kit. That color looks too good not to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncbuckeye67 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Yeah, that's definitely true! I bought the MPC/AMT kit just because of the box art, but it's still on the shelf (and will probably remain there, now that the Revell kit is out).

Andy Oldenburg Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Hello Charles, great work, almost looks real! Good job on the undercarriage too (a grain of salt, no offense, sand those tires to make em looked as used as the weathered bottom 😉) The paint job is excellent!

Mike 1017 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I LUV IT. My 1:1 1971 351 Mach 1 was that same color. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy grumpy Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Awesome build. The hi vis green makes it pop. I have that kit on order. I will start building as soon as it arrives. Your background is very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
