I Thought it was time to do a modern muscle car for a change after doing all the old ones, nice kit by Revell accurate engine with good detail same for the interior and chassis, good kit over all. Comments welcome.

Looks very nice, I think it could use a dark wash on the engine to really make the engine pop.
Is that MM Chrome Yellow?

Overall - very nice. I like it. My wife had a 99 Mustang (no Cobra upgrade ) You've captured it well.
For the next build I would personally like to see a bit more depth (shadow/blackness) in the seams. Where the back quarter panel and the bumper meet and around the gas door.

I don't use a wash on the door seams, etc. I use a super fine marker by Micron or Staedler.

Thanks for the idea Dave i never tried that, on the doors i used the bottle of black wash that comes in the Rustall system, i like that stuff because if i make a mistake it is easy to take of the polished paint and i only give it a few light coats to keep the lines very light. For my next kits i will be doing a 1969 Dodge Charger RT and a 2006 Dodge Charger RT, i think they should look really good together.

Awesome work Robert. Love that yellow paintjob. Engine looks great as well. Once you have added the wash, it will be a killer.
The Charger project sound very interesting. Will you give them identical color/trim?

Thanks Jesper sometimes i forget the simple stuff on my models when i am in a rush to get to the next project but over all a good build. I hadn't thought about making the 2 Chargers the same color, i do have a nice Mango orange color i may use for both thanks for the idea.
