Awesome Work James. The paintjob looks amazing. The wirring of the engine looks awesome. I assume the wirring is scratchbuild.

LOL!! That I comment on the only two you have done.... Awesome work at any rate!!

Getting good automotive colors over here is somewhat trying. Stuck with what Model masters and Tamiya have to offer. Model Masters have a few automotive paints, but they are not stocked here...

The only thing that sticks out to me is the left headlight cover is bulging out more than it should. The spot I'm seeing is just in front of the left front tire. Other than that, This is one great looking Mustang!!!!

One this Ive found is that Rail Road oriented Hobby Shops carry the same lines of paint (polly scale tamiya etc). Each has thier own line of 'civilian' colors for RR applications.
Check out the RR side of things for varying colors.

Excellent job as usual, James. Again, it's another that looks startable and drivable.
You have GOT to be running out of display space pretty soon, bub, cause ya keep whipping these out like mad!
