kruleworld Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 This is Dick Johnson's racing mustang from the mid-eighties. When Ford australia dropped their locally made v8 engine, DJ went looking for a new option. When the racing category adopted the international Group A rules, he found he could import a Mustang from the states with the 5.0 v8 to go racing and developed it into a potent racer but it was too under powered to be competitive and eventually dropped it in favour of the new Ford Sierra from the UK. The model started life as a revell mustang convertible which i added the roof off an mpc svo (despite the problem that one is 1/24 and the other 1/25. wheels are tamiya and was donated by a modeller friend. i did up my own artwork and got pattos place to print them out. (he now sells them if anyone wants them). the tires are starting to perish rather badly now.
martinfan5 Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Very nice, what did Patto charge you to make the decals?, I buy all my NASCAR decals from him, and asked once about making a set, but a price never was said
Scuderia Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Love to see a fox, and a fox racer is even better. Also i like the green with the white wheels, thats a cool ride.
Silver Foxx Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Looks great - don't see very many of this car built up. A nice change from all the sierra's.
kruleworld Posted April 19, 2012 Author Posted April 19, 2012 thanks for the compliments... Very nice, what did Patto charge you to make the decals?, I buy all my NASCAR decals from him, and asked once about making a set, but a price never was said i did the artwork and he fixed it up and made the decals, so the price was standard for buying a sheet ($12). If you have photoshop, do the artwork at 400 dpi.
Scuderia Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Thats a fair price for sure, Maybe I can get a decent run from my Dale Jr. 04 Bud Light sheet I made lol. Back to the kit, i wish I had one of these older bodies to drop on my New Monkees GT
