Hi guys,
First model of mine I show here on the forum,
This is the Revell, Motor City Muscle kit. I painted it "ocean" blue from Motomaster spray paint (Canadian tire). And added some cragar wheels from revell's 67' charger. And some other little details. Like magazines, engine wires etc.

The words "Mustang" on the back is done by putting on the Bare Metal Foil before I paint the car, then polish off the paint and it leaves you with perfect scripts.

Wow, superb build James. This is the best build scale Mustang I have ever seen.
The paintjob is outstanding. Engine details look great.
The spareparts boxes are a very nice touch.

Did you use bare metal foil, for the window frames?

Very nice build. It is really clean and I like the blue color you picked for your Boss. I would like to see some detail shots of the interior as well as the engine.

Nice build, James. I like the colour, and the paint job looks very smooth in the pictures. Did you use a polish, a coat of Future, or just very careful?
Great detail work on the engine, too.

Hi James. Very nice build. My first car was a 68 Ford Mustang that unfortunately got "totalled" when some guy lighting a cigarette rear ended me at 45 mph while I was stopped waiting to make a left turn. I still have a special fondness for Mustangs. I love the Fram air filter and Monroe boxes in your display. How did you do those? (I don't buid cars- could never do them justice for some reason)

WOW that is one heck of a paint finish you have on there. I can sooo see myself washing and waxing my own car (not a Mustang) on sunny weekends when I look at your build

Beautiful job James, the 1970 Boss 429 along with it's "little" brother the Boss 302 have always been my favorite Mustang variants (barring the Shelby series) and you have certainly done this kit justice!

Cheers,
Mike

I scanned in some boxes onto the computer, then shrunk them down and printed them
