From the vault #9: Mickey Thompson-esque 1969 Mustang Funny Car

[tim boyd]

I've always been very impressed with the accuracy of the 1969/70 Mustang body in the Polar Lights Funny Car kit series.  (Perhaps that is because the Jims - Jim Kampmann and Jim Johnson were consultants on the project...).  Here I built it box stock with paint detailing only during 2011. The paint scheme, of course, was a fictitious spinoff using my paint can paint fade approach, and both Testors Lacquer Ford Sunrise Pink Metallic and Testors One Coat Metalflake Paint colors, over a pearl white base.  More pictures below...thanks for looking...Tim \

Very nice!

A lot of meticulous work there and paint way beyond my capabilities.  I like the riveted appearing windows/windshields.  Thanks for posting.

Great work building this tricky kit. I have the same kit in the works currently and so far most of the parts have had somekind of fit issues.

Here everything looks right and I really like the paint job. Nicely done!

Nice. I literally have a dozen (or more?) of those Polar Lights kits (for parts), but I've never actually built one. That came out well... -RRR
