Duddly01 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I only got back into scale model cars in the last year or so and found Model Car Magazine 221 at Burbank House of Hobbies. I enjoyed the magazine so signed up for a subscription in September and I am looking forward to receiving 222. I picked up some back issue on eBay as well. I have been restoring and enjoying classic cars for decades and have restored and owned more than 40 classic Mustangs, generally between 1964 1/2 and 1968. Currently we have three 1966, one 1967 and a 2018 Mustang Convertible in the family. My first build were scale copies of three of them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vamach1 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) Welcome from a fellow Mustang owner and model car builder. Impressive build of your 66 convertible down to the grille, wheels covers, license plate and paint color.

I used MCW paints correct tahoe turquoise + 2K clear and wet sanded for the finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go to National Parts depot in Ventura quite often myself to keep up the 1:1 Mustang fleet. Nice area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
av405 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I work a few miles away from there. Have you dropped by Ventura Hobbies? It's the only old-school, car-focused hobby store left in the county. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go to Burbank House of Hobbies quite regularly, great shop, but it seems old-school hobby shops like I remember as a kid are few and far between these days.

Burbank is my favorite shop but Ventura Hobbies is definitely worth checking out. Just make sure you check their operating hours as its a 1-man show. I also recommend Marty's Hobbies in Thousand Oaks. It's more RC-focused but it's an amazing shop with many tools and a decent selection of kits. They advertise price matches too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
