Sport Suburban Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Here is one that I have been wanting to build for some time now and had finally got around to doing it. This is a 69 Cougar 428CJ convertible. This started out as the 428CJ coupe kit. Not much was needed to turn this into a convertible. I cut the top off and used the boot from the 73 Cougar kit. That kit has a convertible boot even though it is only a hardtop kit. Leftover part from the 70 Cougar kit days. I changed out the front bumper for an older issue that had the bumper guards. Then added the trunk rack from the 72 Corvette kit. Let me know what you think of this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 What they said. Beautiful! It looks like you added a black wash to the grille. That adds so much realism and is so easy to do... I'm amazed at how many people don't bother, and it makes their model looks very toy-like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) Another beauty, Raoul!!! You should show these guys your "large scale" build! That would really knock their socks off. Edited August 12, 2014 by Danno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Svendsen Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Nice build. Does the boot come in all '73 Cougar kits? If not, what version did you get it in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
