2005- 2008 Mustang chassis question

[Albert Moore]

Hi Guys,

I'm building Revell's 2008 Mustang 'Bullitt' so I need some help in regards to the way the chassis is finished on the newer Mustang. Is it all black (with glossy black for the sub-frame components), or is it primer colored w/ overspray body color (with the black frame components). I'm a dye-in-the-wool aviation modeler 99% of the time so any advice or references for my rare foray into the automotive world is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Albert

Hey Albert....here is how I did mine...not a Bullitt, but an 06, I'd have to guess they are similar...

I used Google for picture reference....

It's covered in a light grey "e-coat" primer, with body color overspray around the rocker panels. The front subframe and suspension, fuel tank and fuel pump cover are all black, as is most of the rear suspension. Here's mine:

Thanks Brain and Len, I appreciate the help (and killer model, Brian!). I built an '06 GT a couple of years ago but was never sure if I had done the chassis right. So I just painted it in different shades of black;

As the late great Paul Harvey said "Now I know the rest of the story!".

Thanks again for the assistance.

Cheers,

Albert

PS- Here's what the rest of that model looks like;

Hi Dave,

Sorry for the late reply. Thank you for the very kind comments on my build and for sharing photos of your outstanding Mustang. I checked out the other photos you posted when you had finished building it, excellent work all around. I'll try to post some pics of the 'Bullitt' at a later time (or when there is some substantial progress).

Cheers,

Albert
