Revell 1971 Boss 351.... Special Order "Bright Orange"

[DanL]

Saw a "Bright Orange" 1970 Mustang cross the auction block recently and really liked the color with black accents. I used Krylon Pumpkin Orange with a white primer base coat and got a good approximation of the Bright Orange color. The paint went on easy and the bare metal foil also went smoothly other than the glue residue left around the edges. The glue removed easily with soap and water. This newly tooled kit is a great build with a few issues. Hopefully we will see more of this quality kit coming from Revell in the future. The decal kit was a treat... really nice quality and full of extras to add character to the build.

I made some changes as I went along including a front end drop of 2mm, Spark Plug wires and Boots, and a Dip Stick. The problems came from a front end that sat too high and bumpers that had vague mounting points. I recommend building this kit even though the 71 mustang may not be everyone's favorite. (I think they should have done a new 1970 Mustang in all it's variations)

PS: The engine blue is much darker without the camera flash

Beautiful build.  That was a very rare color for the Boss 351.

a nice rendition of a great kit. I built mine almost the same color as yours. I looks awesome with the black trim. Great job on the engine. Like you, not my favorite mustang but the Revell kit is so good it starts to grow on me. I hope they will make an Eleonor version if they can have licensing for it.

Looks great.  I was like that with the green car I did.  Saw another one like it, and knew I had to build one.

Simply gorgeous Dan.

[louis Carabott]

Very nice ?

[ChrisR]

Looks great!

[Darbo]

Fantastic!

That looks amazing! The color combination is awesome. I think after 70, the Mustang got really ugly (especially base model Mach 1s), but the "Boss" edition is gorgeous.

[MeatMan]

Very nicely done!

Beautiful looking paint finish and I think Ford called that "Calypso Coral". The factory style striping all looks great. The chrome trim and engine detailing are cleanly done.

That is a great build.
