RACINE ISHRAQUR RAZA Posted May 25 Posted May 25 I built an exciting car! A 1991 Mercury Cougar XR7. This 1/25 scale kit by Revell is really good with minimum preparation work needed due to near absent flash on parts & best thing is that all the parts fits like lego blocks. Had to do justice to this less collected & restored car, so spent a long time masking different areas of the body and adding weather stripping, plus the trims. 9
TransAmMike Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Looks good Racine. I owned an '89 XR7. Very comfortable car and nice riding car. Great job!!
ea0863 Posted May 26 Posted May 26 Absolute beauty Racine! You did a great job with all the details, including the tint at the top of the windshield. That one is easy to overlook, but adds so much realism. I've tried different techniques myself to replicate it either using spray tint or by cutting bits of scrap window tinting from the shops and gluing them on.
Leica007 Posted May 26 Posted May 26 You did a great job on the molding ( a lot of work) and the result was worth the effort. I had a 72 XR7 and did a build of it and it was a nice riding car.
Mike 1017 Posted May 26 Posted May 26 Nice. Your black detailing is amazing. Chicago had a lot of Cougars and T-Birds roaming the streets
kelson Posted May 26 Posted May 26 Nice work on a very underrated kit from the early nineties!,i have a few of these sitting in the stash.
