1988 mustang
well. i'm bored with all my other kits and had a little spare cash so i picked up the 1988 Ford Mustang kit.....only problem is that it is done by AMT. anyone done this kit yet? any heads up? im going to build it to replicate a friends GT here is a link to his page http://hometown.aol.com/neal393w/myh...e/profile.html
I will be taking on a lot of scratchbuilding that i havn't done before. this should be interesting. i'll get some pics up sometime tomorrow. i am not at home at the moment

actually, don't bash AMT about that kit, its not an AMT kit, its an MPC kit from the late 80's before AMT bought them out, actually, be happy that AMT did'nt do it becouse MPC in the late 80's did a far better job on current production cars the AMT

Re: 1988 mustang
Yea, i've built this kit. Truthfully, its right on par with the Revell MUstang Convertable kit (which isnt saying much.)
Problems were typical AMT problems. Also, its a little under detailed, and it actually seems quite small compared to my other kits If your're interested..heres some links The Build Up: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...t=1988+Mustang The Finished Product: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...t=1988+Mustang This is what it will build up like Stock:

Re: 1988 mustang
Must be a lift off hood, unless its forward tilting. The car is looking nice. Can't wait to see it with some paint!
