My next project in the works - 1969 Mustang BOSS 302

[TheCat]

Here's the inspiration for this build.

I'm going to build it in this color.

Bought the decals from Keith Marks. Used Testor's Classic White.

Pictures of the process coming soon.

Hey that's awesome, before I started working on my '32 Ford, I was making one like this. Same paintjob, but I weathered it. Never finished it though =P

Nice project!

Felix, your builds always look factory correct...did you address the inaccurate nose on the '69 kit?

Agreed. From an accuracy standpoint, the Revell kit would seem to be the obvious kit to use since it blows the AMT kit out of the water...until you encounter that virtually vertical front grille assembly. Maybe you can figure out a way to incorporate the AMT grille.

Either way, good luck & keep us posted on your progress.

Here's some picture updates:

Body completed. Had to fill in the side louvers on the body as the BOSS 302 does not have them. Sanded, applied primer and painted it using Testor's Classic White. Then applied the decals from Keith Marks then applied the cleaar coat. After it dried, i applied the flat black. Then added the Bare Metal Foil.

I used the 1970 Mustang hood as the kit gives you two types of hoods, one with the shacker hole and the one without any holes. Had to sand the sides and rear to make it fit the 1:25 scale.

I'm still working out the grille issue... but i may end up using the inaccurate grille that Revell send in with the kit.

Also completed the Engine (somewhat). Still have to apply more engine compartment wiring.

More to come...

While the grille is not perfect, There is, in reality very little wrong with the grille it's self. the Problem is in the fenders, and headlights. From what I remember, of this kit.

beautiful - can't wait to see the final build - i might use that white (testors) on my GTO build. The GTO on the box is Cameo White and that looks pretty close - its not too bright!

Hi Joe - I started with the Revell 1969 MACH1 model kit and the hood of the Revell 1970 Mustang Special Edition kit that gives you the option of building a 1970 MACH1 or a BOSS 302. You will need the sand down the sides and rear of the hood to make it fit the 69 body.

Thank you very much.. Just make sure that you use a grey primer and it will look like this one.

[TheCat]
