3men2s Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) Here is my resent project of an old favorite. During the CAMEL GT Era back in the early 80's was the best. The kings were the 935 twin turbo porsches, BMW were the contenders, winning some races, but not championships and then came this wild card the Mustang Turbo, a German Capri Group 5 in mustang clothing. It was susessfull It won a few and set track records, the life span was short since ford went to the GTP class in 83. Monogram did a good job with this kit, which they kept doing race cars like they use to. in the mean time I will keep building this discontinued models and enjoying them.

3men2s Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 The 86'S GTO where BAD also, dominating the IMSA and SCCA programs, don't forget. and the 93 cobras made their mark too, but my favorite has to be the 4 banger turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigEdsGarage Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Great job on the build. Thanks for posting this. I have a few of these kits stashed away and always thought they were quite nice and wanted to build them. Due to lack of knowledge on the subject matter I always found myself boxing them back up and saving the builds for another day. Seeing yours completed has sparked the desire to dig one out and get started on it. They really look like they build into a nice model.

Decals, etc. John not at all..the decals were the easiest part. The hardest part is finding time to work on it. the car is well made and what I like is that you can add details to make it pop. I have another one wich I will detail even more, making the side windows to slide open. Edited August 24, 2011 by 3men2s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
