cruz Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 This is a quick project for a club member that I wanted to share with you guys. It is based on the Monogram kit. Hosted on Fotki Thinking about doing something like this...... Hosted on Fotki Pretty much out of the box, nothing special..... Hosted on Fotki Kit is not that bad, I just had to add a bit of plastic on the sides of the hood and straighten the body out a bit, it was a bit warped....

kelson Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Excellent work so far! I've got at least 3-4 of these in the stash,i think having to mask all that trim and hoping it turns out has stopped me from building one so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk11 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Very clean and realistic ! Darkening the panel lines before paint really makes a difference. Great inspiration to dig out mine and finish it. ike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruz Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 following this I love to see other builders mustangs. Did ya lower it at all? I have not done any lowering on the suspension, will have to ask the owner if he wants it a little lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really my friend, just make sure to use a good tape like the Tamiya brand. Also, if you notice, the line does not start at the body but slightly off from it. You want to make sure that when you are done, the lines look to scale rather than too wide or in this case, too tall..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
