Completed Boss 429 Mustang

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!

Yep - you nailed that one. Good 'ol Halfords does the job again. Nice colour choice and love the stance and wheels. 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.

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

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!!

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

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.
