RandyB. Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) Just finished this Boss this afternoon. Good kit but I did encounter a few fit issues with this kit especially with the front end. A little trimming of unseen plastic fixed the problem. Finished in factory color "School Bus Yellow". Thanks for checking her out. Edited July 7, 2014 by RandyB.
kymdlr Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 This looks amazing. Very clean build. the taillights look like the real thing.
Harry P. Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 You kind of went overboard on the panel lines where the front and rear fascia meet the body panels. On the real car those seams are very tight and almost invisible... you shouldn't have made them so black and noticeable. Aside from that, nice work!

Harry the reason the panel lines look black is because of the fit issues I mentioned in my post. That was as tight as I could get them. I already new they should be tighter but you have to work with what the kit gives you. The seams are not painted black....it's just the shadow of the gap making them look that way.

Jaguar man 21 Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Absolutely amazing looking I see no problems with fit or anything looks soooo amazing
RandyB. Posted July 7, 2014 Author Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Very nice job Randy! Wish I had the 1:1 Thanks guys! Gene I would like to swap my 2005 GT seen here for a yellow Boss 302! Edited July 7, 2014 by RandyB.
slusher Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Gorgeous model and great detail Randy. I always love your work...
PappyD340 Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Great looking stang, there's a guy that lives a couple of blocks from me that has one just like that!!

Excellent model, Randy. It's really too bad about the panel gaps, they really detract from the appearance of your work. Could you perhaps flow a little body color into the gaps with a fine point brush to soften the harshness?
Eye4Detail78 Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Very nice looking Boss!! And the best color combo Ford offers! Well done!!
MustangGuy23 Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 I'm about to start this kit and even in my mockup I could tell the fascias didn't fit well. Did you have trouble getting the chassis and body to fit also? Mine are a tight squeeze.
Johnny1973 Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Great job on the Boss!Thank you for letting us about the fit issues.I have this kit as well.

Michael...I didn't have too much problem with the chassis fitting into the body but the front and rear fascia was an issue for sure in terms of fit.
Bill Eh? Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 A great build up of this model. Details under the hood look awesome. A few questions if you don't mind ... Do you have any chassis pics? Did you adjust the ride height? How did you do the lettering on the intake plenum? School bus yellow looks great. I think I will try one in Gotta Have It Green.
signmike Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 It's the first I see completed. It looks good in that colour and your building is clean. Congrats
