Arizona DPS 1990 Mustang

[martinfan5]

Finally got my hands on a couple of the kits, so its time to add one more WIP thread for the 1990 Mustang, I am going to be doing mine in Arizona DPS (Highway Patrol) markings, I am not going to correct the roof height on this one, I just want to build it out of the box.

So, not much to show as I just got home from the club meeting and finally sat down and looked through the kit. I need to contact Revell and have them send me the clear lightbar lense's .

Other than what people have already stated, this kit is going together pretty well. It is helping me bounce over my "builders block".

Jonathan,could you post a pic of the exhaust please.I'm really interested in where it exits at the back.

More or less if it is the mustang shotguns or just generic turn downs.

Thanks bigtim.

They come out like all LX 5.0's not the GT style turndowns

Have not done much, but I get a lot of work on the engine done, I used Tamiya XF66 light grey, and alcald on the trans

stripped as much as I could from the wheels

body in first round of primer, removed the mold lines, accent the panel lines

and I got the spotlight hole drilled out, and another round of white primer


and chassis in primer

Looks good. Don't forget to sand the writing off the gas tank

That is looking great.

Where are you getting the DPS decals? I need a set for a snap Chevy my Grandson built.

I have done a little bit more work, not a lot, finished up the engine for the most part, I repainted the valve covers and intake to a more correct color of silver-ish grey

And painted the body, I used Tamiya pure white

and the body after a quick polish, no clear, dont need it to be all nice shiny, and got the black trim painted, I have some area that need to be cleaned up, touched up

Looking good!

Body looks good there

[martinfan5]

Started on the interior, I used Testors sea blue A/B, to its looks like a close match, it could be completely wrong though

[Johnny1973]

The interior color looks close enough for me.

The engine detail looks good Jonathan are you adding plug wires?

Thank you Gabriel, I have been thinking about it, I might end up doing it, I need to see if I have enough black plug wire to do it
