This is the model I’ve making most progress on, the Revell 1/24 , 1964 Mustang.



Just added the engine!!!!

Its nice to see someone building a car, I will be watching with interest

Now I’m finished with my Mustang.
Now doesn’t it look better with a 120 hp, V6 instead of the engine in the first photo…;-)..
Just for fun I put in the engine from a Roden 1/32 Spade, a Hispano-Suiza 8Ab 180 hp….( doesn’t look so bad after all…)



It was an enjoyable kit , but I did have some problems with the engine, I lost a piece… just the cylinder head… I made a new one from clay… it worked , but the engine isn’t perfect…. Its strait out of the box, the only thing I did was to add some wires to the battery.




Like I said, it was å enjoyable build, I\m mostly satisfied, but I am not completely happy with the paint job, it could have been better. I used Vallejo Air, fire red, with 2 coats of clear (Johson) wax., but could have hoped for a deeper colour.
Anyway , hope you liked the build!

It looks great Ivan.

Thanks Dazzled!
But why don’t car models come with drivers like aircraft came with pilots?

[Dazzled]

Good point. It would be particularly appropriate with racing car models.
