Ajay Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 After building the Cervini Mustang this one's going to be a lot less complicated & pretty much OOB except for the rear window louvres & Shelby grille which are from A/FX resins. I've always felt that the stock front isn't deep enough so the bottom was cut off and some plastic card added with the lower grille opening enlarged slighty. So far the bodies been sprayed with Tamiya Mica Blue & the stripes added - I had a spare decal sheet so I've continued the stripes over the front bumper. Thanks for looking Andy
Randy Kern Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 Impressive work as always, Andy. The silver stripes work great with that color. PSF Hobbies now carries a lot of resin goodies for the new Mustang, also. The scratchbuilt nose looks cool, too. Are those wheels & tires from a diecast?

Thanks Randy The wheels are made up from Aoshima Luxy type 4 19" rims together with trim rims from their Junction Scara wheels. The tyres are from the Revell Tuner series. Regards Andy
white00gt Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 Great Job - soooo your the one who made the cervinis mustang (been looking for that body kit I thought it was available in resin) Do you still have pics of the cervini mustang you made Iam in the process of making the 07 Shelby GT-H Convert.- Body/Hood is almost ready for paint , I have custom made the front and added PSF hobbies side scoops & Hertz hoodJust have to order parts for Aluminum Grill inserts(been slow cause I haven't been able to work on it)

white00gt Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 Yup thats the one although I know there was a grey one around too, BTW where did you get the grill from- thats kinda the grill I need........
Ajay Posted April 6, 2007 Author Posted April 6, 2007 Yup thats the one although I know there was a grey one around too, BTW where did you get the grill from- thats kinda the grill I need........ Hi Harry The grill I used was a Billet Ford F-150 one from Model Car Garage Cheers Andy
cruz Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 Ajay, like always, nice work man, you are very talented brother..........
monsterman Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 Some sharp looking Mustangs Andy you really got the look going in with the new build.. Cant wait to see it done
Steve H. Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 Nice work so far! We're kinda on the same wavelength lately... here's my mustang, built in 2006...
Ajay Posted April 7, 2007 Author Posted April 7, 2007 Just a quick update of the body with clearcoat added which gives a nice depth to the colour. I'll leave it a few days before polishing it out. Thanks for looking Andy
Ajay Posted April 9, 2007 Author Posted April 9, 2007 Just a quick update after polishing out the clear with Micromesh l& Tamiya compound ;
sno_man80 Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 What kit are the Mustangs???? I'd like to think Revells Muscle Car Line
Ajay Posted April 12, 2007 Author Posted April 12, 2007 What kit are the Mustangs???? I'd like to think Revells Muscle Car Line You 're quite correct Scott - it's a Revell kit. Cheers Andy
Ajay Posted April 15, 2007 Author Posted April 15, 2007 I must have offended the modelling gods (that's my excuse anyway !) -when I removed the Tamiya masking tape from the roof after spraying the window surrounds it lifted off one of the stripes :oops: - I guess I'd polished the clear very thin in that area. Luckily I still had a spare decal but had to clear the roof again - not disasterous but annoying all the same. On a positive note here's where I am currently after adding the front grille & lights etc - I've also continued the stripes over the rear spoiler as IMO it looks odd without them. Thanks for looking Andy
