Nice clean build of a cool sport sedan!

The flocking on the rear deck looks good.

I agree it does sit a bit high in the front; it's why I forever fiddle with things before gluing them together.

Overall though, a really nice build. Great job.

Other than the ride height, I think it's a very nice looking build.

I like the color...

The front ride height was how the kit was originally made. Later versions I believe had lower ride height (the Robocop II release for example).

You did a nice job on that.

Seems that kit was available forever, and no one built it! (I built 2 actually - 1 RC2, and 1 SHO-I think I have 1 of each left in the stash!)

Is this a curbside? Engine pics?

[Airfilter]

Thanks a lot guys. I modified the front suspension.

And the engine, no extra.

Very nice build of one of Ford's better ideas. I used to see one race in the Firestone Firehawk series support race at the Canadian Grand Prix in the early '90s. With straight pipes, they had a really unique engine sound, and did quite well among all the smaller cars.

Great looking build. With a little work this can be a nice kit. As was said I'm glad to see you took the advice to lower it a bit Made a world of difference. 1 question is she silver or gold ??

[dimaxion]

Just right . I do Factory Stock . It is a good build . Thanx ..

[Airfilter]

1 question is she silver or gold ??

This is "Light Autumnwood Pearl Metallic" Here's a color code

That looks much better. Took a nice build and improved it ten-fold.

The 1990-91 SHOs, as I remember, were available in Oxford White, Light Titanium (silver,) black and Electric Currant Red. I think all had a titanium interior, which is a very light silver-gray. One of the Tamiya light gray military paints is a pretty good match for it. They'd have a darker gray dash. One year (1990?) they only offered a black interior.

That turned out great! Good job on lowering the front end just enough to make it look "right"

I saw those same cars at Sebring in '92. The bad part? They had alreay wrecked both of them in practice before I got there. I might have to see about picking that kit up at some point as I had a 1:1 '89 SHO. I like the color on this car. Mine was black.
