bogger44 Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 It's been a busy year cutting into my building time, but here is my 3rd completed model of the year. It's the original issue Revell/Monogram kit, built straight out of the box. Duplicolor Cardinal Red was sprayed onto the body, then polished out. The decals were shot so there's no underhood markings but was no biggie to me. I left off the running horse in the grille as it had broke when I tried removing it from the tree. No big issues in building this one, only the front suspension gave a lil fuss. After taking the pics, I see I overlooked a couple small items I'll address shortly, namely blacking out the face of the scoop on the rear fenders. It doesn't really show up in the pics, but I did paint the rear side marker lights. I may give them another coat of paint to make them pop out a little more. Enough with my rambling, on to the pics......
MsDano85gt Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Shiney! I have a few of these i need to get done..... i want to make a "vert" cobra as well !! wish me luck!
peekay Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Looks great, nice detailing on the trim and tail lights. These Mustangs are growing on me from year to year.
DynoMight Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Looks real! Really nice red, is that a factory color? Don't worry about no hose or decals under the hood, looks good to me!
mikemopar70 Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Niiiccee!! Awesome Mustang, i like the red color!!
bogger44 Posted July 30, 2014 Author Posted July 30, 2014 Thanks guys. Building something box stock was a nice change of pace and refreshing. Shiney! I have a few of these i need to get done..... i want to make a "vert" cobra as well !! wish me luck! Sounds like a good project, good luck! Looks real! Really nice red, is that a factory color? Don't worry about no hose or decals under the hood, looks good to me! It is a factory Ford color, but not for the Cobra. It is pretty close to the available Rio Red, though. Actually, I'm not sure what years Ford did use Cardinal Red.
Platerpants Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 why did i put this and the amt kit 97 mustang down the other day and just get paint from the hobby store. This looks great
berr13 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Sharp looking build! It's a great Revell kit, and you more than did it justice!
Maxicoop Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 very realistic lookin' , very clean and detailed build !!!!!!!!!
playzwtrux Posted August 3, 2014 Posted August 3, 2014 Looks good, I like it. I have been avoiding this mustang, but I will definitely take a second look at it now.
MsDano85gt Posted August 3, 2014 Posted August 3, 2014 I love the IRS in the rear on this kit!! it transplants well into "most" other 1/25 scale foxbodys without any/ much fuss
