Re: 1/25 Revell Mustang GT SCCA spec

Ok, we are almost there. Finishing up and I have already uploaded 100 photos!






More engine details were added. I have added the air intake box and leading pipe to the intake manifold...




The final engine pics...




I went overboard with the wheels. This American car is also wearing American rubber.


I found left over P/E set for the front wheels. I will use these.






The wheels fit quite good and the stance is also as expected.


Lastly, I have added the NASCAR style window net...

I remember getting the idea of making this using the masking tape from someone here, but now I forgot...

Sorry and thank you. It has been more than 8 years...




I gave several coats of clear here. I think the color of this pearl is quite good, depending on the lighting it has different shine to it... A closer up on the pearl.


With a flash light, the color gives out harsher pearl.

Newer camera with better lighting setting:

Wow! Amazing! The depth of that paint is excellent and everything looks crisp and clean!
Still using Tamiya X22 to do the clearcoat?

Yes, I still use X22 time to time. The urethane clear became also my favorite.

I know it is toxic and so bad for you, but its toughness cannot be compared...

Re: 1/25 Revell Mustang GT SCCA spec

that is very nice. I am still afraid to do the wide fenders, but this shows a process I might be comfortable with. Thank you.

Great w.i.p.! I have a kit of the 2010 Mustang GT and I was wondering what to do with it, you gave me some ideas ;-)

Thanks,
