Ford guy Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Here is a build I completed a couple months ago. I started with the Revell kit and the Greg Wann resin body. The resin body and the kit went together like a hand in a glove. I changed a few things, like the wheels and brakes from a Revell Saleen Speedster kit, seats from the 1:24 Revell 1993 Mustang Cobra kit. (Which fit really nice) I modified the engine compartment a little and added the Manifold, heads and headers from the '93 Cobra kit. I added the strut tower brace from a late model Mustang kit and added an aluminum radiator from my parts box. I put together an exhaust system from parts box parts. I made upper and lower control arms for the rear axle from scratch. Added sub frame connectors made from scrap styrene. I cut the middle out of the resin hood and added the middle, but slightly bigger, part of the plastic kit hood to make a scale 2" cowl induction hood. Everything that came with the resin body is shown in the last picture. All the parts are nicely cast, nice and crisp detail, smooth finish.
Can-Con Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Man ,, That looks fantastic ! you really nailed it !

Danno Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Excellent model. Greg Wann's castings are superb, aren't they? That's why we call him the MasterCaster!!
Christopher J Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Being a Mustang lover, (my first car at 16 was a Mustang), I have to say that is an absolutely beautiful build
Jeff Johnston Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Very nice build !. Once you see the Revell kit net to the resin body you can really appreciate how goofed up that Revell roof is.
ERIK88 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 very nice build!, i am a huge foxbody fan, looks like my 92 convertible in many ways. Saleen wheels makes foxbodys look really nice. Where can I get a copy of the resin mustang ?

Where can I get a copy of the resin mustang ? Contact Greg Wann. He's a member here, so you can just shoot him a PM. You won't regret it!! And, you'll be almost embarrassed by how little he charges for these. It's almost like stealing . . .

Nice work on that Mustang, might have to do as you did and get the resin body to go with the kit. I like the wheel change and other details.
Ford guy Posted January 12, 2015 Author Posted January 12, 2015 Thank-you Danno, Chris, Jeff, Erik, and Mike. I appreciate the kind words. Yes this resin body was outstanding!
my80malibu Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Excellent model. Greg Wann's castings are superb, aren't they? That's why we call him the Master Caster Lets give some credit to Mike Schnur as well, AKA Maindrian Pace. Mike made improvements, and corrections to the original Revell body. Mike also Vacumm formed the glass for these resin kits. Greg Wann is an excellent resin caster. Who strives to get the parts He makes, the absolute best that He can make.

Mike mastered the body that Greg cast. They are an awesome team.
ERIK88 Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) I'll definitely shoot Greg wann a pm. That body looks way nicer compare to revells stubby weird body! . I am a huge Foxbody mutang fan, but have not purchased this kit because of the obvious mistakes. I prob would have bought 3 of these already. Edited January 12, 2015 by ERIK88

Guest Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Sharp looking little Mustang Roy! I really like the changes you made in rolling stock and under the hood! The body by Mike and Greg makes all the difference! Is it necessary to get the nose piece and hood also?

Everything you see in Roy's picture comes in the box from The MasterCaster.
