In progress - 06 "Eleanor" Mustang

Very early days as yet but as I can't do any spraying at he moment (for reasons I won't bore you with) I decided to have a go at replicating the Cervini C500 as closely as I can.

So far the front bumper & side scoops have been built up from plastic sheet & Tamiya Epoxy Putty.
Looks like being a long project as that only leaves the hood scoop, rear spoiler, side & rear skirts to do ! - I'll post more progress as I make it.
Thanks for looking.

They're Mirage P/E rims from Mr.Model in Brazil - I happened to buy a set recently without having any idea which kit to use them on then the Mustang kits arrived and as luck would have it they're a fairly close match to the ones on the 1:1.

ooh I cant wait to see more progress ont is. Im sure it will be phenomenal when done. keep up the good work

looking 100 times better than my attempt. How did you go about making the scoops. They look phenomenal

Super Nice!

Lookin awsome dude!

They're just 4 pieces of sheet styrene - I made a base plate just a bit bigger than the window opening and then glued it over the window - then it was a case of adding the sides and finally the top. I made the top a bit bigger than required and then sanded it to fit the side pieces.

Cheers

Andy

they look AWESOME. can't wait to see more

Wow, you must be the first one to do this!
Love those rims...resembles those PS engineering wheels I see on most Eleanors...

nice progress.

this will be one of your best builds, i'm excited!...more more

Nice start! Keep it commin'!!

Managed to do a bit more last night - I've added the hood scoop & also the indentation to the side window scoop.

PS/ This is the 1:1 that I'm trying replicate

wow thats great work Andy. The skirts and bumpers looks awesome. Cant wait to see it with some paint on it.

WOW! That looks awesome! I agree, the scoops look fantastic! I had been eying some of the Mr Model wheels, but $20 a whack was a bit much for me :biggrin:

I'll be watching this one...

Looks sweet! I love the work you have done to it! Are you going to use those mirrors? I belive they are the only thing on that car that dosent look sporty.
Keep it up!

I believe that’s a Swedish car. :thumbsup:

amazing work. It puts my replication of the same car to shame. Your skills are much better than mine. all of the little details really make this pop. what color are you going to use for the base coat?

Real good project Andy!!.. it gets much better with this new body kit..

Hey.. what about this paint schema..

Spent some time today making the other sideskirt & roughing out the rear spoiler with plastic card & Tamiya putty.

Doesn't look as though I'll get it in primer just yet as temperatures just above freezing here at the moment and forecast to stay the same for the next few days.
white97ex/Crisjr - As I doubt I'll be able to get the correct Ford colour over here I was thinking about either a solid red/white stripes or Mica blue/silver stripes.
Cheers

I dont know if cobra colors ships over seas or not.

WOW you just made me decide that I will be buying this kit now. IMO this is the best looking mustang Ford has ever made, I am not a huge domestic fan but this car is just mean as hell!! You buildup is going great, I can't wait to see your finished product because i know you will make it look great.

You´re doing an amazing job Andy!!.. the rear spoiler seems very nice on it..really good!!

my vote is for Mica Blue with silver stripes!!definitively :smokin: :smokin:

Managed to get a quick coat of primer on today - it's highlighted a lot of scratches etc that nrrd to be taken care of - so more sanding & filling before I'm ready to spray the colour coat.

Grear work on that body kit. it looks great even in primer. So did you decide on the colours yet????

awesome work!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Pure craftsmanship at its best

wah! looks awsome :bigthumb:

really coming together nice and i can tell its gonna be a winner. i think either of your colour scheme choices are good, Andy. thanks for the pics btw, crisjr. they will come in handy for a future project.

awsome work man, thing looks awsome.

Holy Shiz... Nice

OMG great work!

Very good progress Andy!!.. it looks a fitment problem on hood or is just not well placed?

This is going to be perfect!!

what a cool machine!
I can't believe it! sooooooo cool! I've never seen such a cool machine. I can't wait next progress.
Keep up the great work!

Fantastic plastic-work there! I am continually impressed by your ability to reproduce details in styrene so crisply. Keep it up!

wow, this is awsome i dont know how i have missed this...Please post new picks soon! :)

Wow, that is nuts! Looks like it came that way.

Engine 80% complete - just stock with a scratchbuilt air filter.

Fantabulous!!:sunglasse

Nice work Andy, this should be awesome :)

That body kit is INCREDIBLE...

Decided on red with white stripes - all masked up now - hope to spray it later today - fingers crossed the red doesn't creep under the masking tape !.

If you put it on in super light coats around the stripes Andy you will be fine!!!! Lookin superb!!

FER-SHIZZLE! that thing is awesome!

Well despite misting thin coats on with the airbrush to try & seal the masking tape I've still managed to get some red onto the white stripes. Problem is worse round the rear panels where there's lots on curves and difficult to get the masking tape to sit down properly -where there's a flat panel it's come out ok. Hopefully should be able to gently sand off the oversprayed areas before clearcoating - failing that I'll have to touch up the white using the airbrush.

Look awsome :licka: Good job

looking awesome. In the future, when spraying stripes like that, if you will hit them either with a blast of clear or the color you are trying to mask off, it will seal the tape off and allow you to spray the color without problems

Superb work, Andy!:sunglasse

Good Job!
Looks Awesome!

looking good. damn 2 tones are hard to get perfect. Im sure you will make it look fine Andy. keep up the great work

that looks great! i honestly don't see where the red bled under the tape, but maybe i'm not looking hard enough.

Just a couple of pics of the completed interior
