Here is another Model I completed a few years ago. It's a highly modified Monogram GT-350R Mustang. I am a huge Mustang fan and realised that the Monogram kit was far from a accurate representation of the classic race car. The rear wheelarches were properly enlarged, side and rear windows and glass modified to represent the plexi-glass, rear valence corrected etc. I scratchbuilt the interior tub to duplicate the stripped clean race look. Also the engine and chassis required major work.
Again, I hope you all enjoy the photo's and comments are welcomed.
Thanks
Rob

wow ssoo nice. very detailed!! i like it

Stunning work.:eek2:

That's one stunning 'Stang!!

Excellent job one every aspect of it, you're attention to detail is mind-blowing!!

Great work. I love the weathering you've done on the chassis. Just everything about the Stang is amazing. Keep up the great work.

Impressive model!
attentive detailing work on Engine,suspensions and interior.
Awesome work! :thumbsup:

Very Awsome!!

Insane! Are those wheel studs functional...does the wheel really fit onto the studs? Like the hood pins.

looks awesome.... but Are those wheel studs functional...does the wheel really fit onto the studs? ?

Rob, that is one fly stang, nice trunk opening, but I think you did the windows on the doors backwards. I've never owned, nor seen this car, but, like in my SR5, with the windows that far down, they slant forward not reverse. But, the stang could be different I guess. Good build tho, 10/10!!!

robrex, this shelby is packed with little details...I just noticed the that the hood hinges have springs! Monte Carlo bar, relays... And the holes in the R-model bumper actually feed air to the dics brakes...incredible! I like the rear window fasteners too.
Any interior pics?

The windows are supposed to be like that. On most every car, the windows are wedge shaped, but if you noticed the windows on the mustangs (this era) are rectangular. BTW this should have been in AFMOTY

The stock Mustang side glass and window regulators were replaced with weight-saving aluminum-framed plastic side windows with lift straps therefore when the straps were released the window would drop into the door cavity. This resulted in the window sitting as displayed in the model : )
Thanks
Rob

ooooo. that makes since, cause I know mines lean to the front, but that looks killa!

Ohh!
Yes the wheel studs locate the front wheel.
I wasn't able to get nuts to fit so it is just a nice snug push on wheel. I imagine this would cause all sorts of problems cornering?

Stunning detail!!

WOW... thats the only work to describe it.



BTW, did you make the hoodpins or buy them from somewhere?

I made the hoodpins out of the smallest needles I could find.

That's detail. Plain and simple, that's the sort of serious model that earns a ton of respect from me.

There's so much depth and so much quality to the build it's astounding. I'm very impressed. And you can ask these guys, I'm hard to impress.

Magnificent! Want to know more about the hindge work. Got any pics of more recent works?

Here are a couple of more recent models that you can find in different threads I started. I've got heaps on the way though and now I know how to post pictures you will get plenty of updates.
Thanks again.
Rob
