I started with an AMT 1967 Mustang GT Fastback kit and converted it to a convertible, added a big block 390, C6 automatic transmission from VCG resins and made it a GTA convertible. The paint in MCW finishes Dark Moss Green. The air cleaner is removable to reveal the correct Holley carburetor from MCV products. I add my normal complement of LED lighting and made the steering posable.

The details are off the chart, green is my favourite colour, thanks for sharing 🎄👍

Thank You! I went through a lot a top studio rivets adding details to this build, even the lug nuts and valve stems. Nice to see they are noticed.

 Impressive from start to finish! 👌it would be great if someone offered a convertible transkit.

Thank you! I did kind of make my own, I cast the master I created for the trunk lid, top boot and back seat in case I decide to make another one. I will likely use to make a coupe at some point. The top boot is from an old 1966 mustang annual kit and the back seat a cut up and modified from an old annual 1965 kit.

G’day Donald. That is superb. Beautifully built and well detailed. I’d love to own the 1/1 version. 👍🏻

Thank you! The one I used as a reference was on a classic car sales site. 😁

Great looking Mustang.  Very well done.  How did you do the blue on the windshield?

Thank You! I mix blue and green Tamiya clear to get the right color and mask and airbrush for the sun strip.

Thanks. I appreciate it.  Don't have an airbrush, so that's out the window (so to speak).  The sun strip is a detail often missed on older cars.

Very beautiful, well-detailed build even has the keys laying on the passenger seat. Hard to believe a build this beautiful could come from that mediocre kit. You are a true craftsman builder.
