Off to a good start!

Another masterpiece. great work all round

Stunning work Andy, but there again we wouldnt expect anything less from u.
The bumpers, have they been stripped & repainted or is it the original chrome effect from the manufacturer. If you have repainted, which paint is it...?
well done, Mike :sunglasse

Looks beautiful Andy!! Keep up the great work!

Great job, like always.

It's the Monogram kit from 1981 (I picked it up on ebay).

I didn't do too much to this one-it's pretty much out of the box. Emblems & door handles were shaved, I used Vauntage rims & brakes from Pegasus Hobbies together with Scale Auto Style Advan tyres and lowered suspension plus some extra detail to the engine. I wanted to keep things simple as IMO it's one of the best looking Mustangs.
Thanks
Andy

It looks great! I like the wheels!

I agree: one of the best looking mustang for a super-clean modelling job and a great color choice: it's a custom mixed kind, Andy?

It's Halfords (UK parts store) Vauxhall Silver Blue Metallic plus their clear lacquer.

Another street machine to add to your awesome collection!
Love it, way to kick off 2006.

Yep - you nailed that one. Good 'ol Halfords does the job again. Nice colour choice and love the stance and wheels. :smokin: I guess you're spraying from the can Andy??

Hi Paul
Majority of time I just spray from the can - occasionally use an airbrush for their custom colours.
Cheers
Andy

Stunning!

Looks super clean, what paint did u use?

Damn'!
I wish some off your builds are on my shelf.....:icon16:

A beautiful build Andy. A 1:1 of that would look nice in the driveway.

One question concerning the Monogram kit as unfortunately I don't have the ability to get measuremnts from a real one. How accurate are the dimensions of the body? I have been told there is quite a difference between the Monogram, AMT and MPC kits.

I see you are UK based too - I'm curious to know what your proceedures are for paint layers and timescales are regarding drying and polishing times with Halfords. Have you just sprayed that this winter??? Pretty cold at the moment - not exactly good conditions for smooth paint jobs!! :eek:


Paul

Lovely job, really like this mustang - super clean - looks like it came straight from the Foose shop!

It's Halfords acyrlic auto paint - they're a UK parts store.

I don't have any dimension info either I'm afraid - the box states it's 19.2 cm long (1/24th scale)but I don't have the other kits to compare it against. All I can say is that it looks fairly accurate compared with the reference pics I have. Sorry I can't be more help.
Cheers

Beautiful as usual Andy! Lean, mean and ready to get down! you really have great skills in this field I don't think I have seen a model from you that I did not like:smokin:
