Revell 65 Mustang

[karbuildr]

I actually painted this kit some time ago, and it sat in it's box until this year. I started the build earlier this year, and completed it last month. It was airbrushed with House of Kolor Zenith Gold, and House of Kolor Bronze Pearl stripes. It was clear coated with House of Kolor Klear, then polished. All the paints are acrylic lacquers, and they spray very nicely once thinned with a quality lacquer thinner. For automotive paints like these, I use Dupont Slow thinner #3602S. The word "Slow" always throws people. It really doesn't dry much slower than regular lacquer thinner, it just doesn't flash off quite as quickly. I honestly can't recall where I got the wheels and tires, but I'm thinking maybe another Mustang kit, although I don't know which one since these were in my wheel and tire parts box without being labelled. I stripped the front and rear bumpers and painted them body color for a monochromatic look. Ignition wires and hoses were added as well. It wasn't a difficult build at all, everything fit well, except for the air cleaner and carb which interfered a little with the hood closing properly. Thanks for looking.

That is one stunning Mustang there David. The unusual colour combo looks great with the stripes running through the front and rear bumpers. Stance is perfect, as is the white interior which all works well together as a whole. Really well done and thanks for sharing. 

Cheers,
