1970 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler

[Phirewriter]

Awesome! As much as I like Torinos I found these to be much more interesting. Great job!

Great looking build! It's Fantastic! Love the Grabber Orange. I built a 1970 Shelby GT500 that color a few years ago.

Very, very nicely done and those wheels look really sharp on it.  Love those Cyclones.

Amazing how much the mid section of the Cyclone looks like a Plymouth Duster! Especially in the B pillar.

Awesome build.

[charger74]

It looks very nice

You picked the right color.  

[Sport Suburban]

Awesome build! I love the color and I have the same problem with my build. I just can’t commit to a color! This car looks good in so many colors!

Great build, I’m going to need to get one of those trans kits. We I was a lot younger I passed on buy a Mercury Cyclone back in the early 90’s.

Nice job on the Cyclone! Don't see enough of these in real life or in kit form.

Beautiful build.    I do like the wheels and tires.

Thanks all for the kind words.

For those who where asking for what color.

I used this over white primer. TS56 Brilliant Orange.

Is the rear spoiler easy to remove?  Look at the picture above for how the factory mounted them.  You would be surprised how many real Fords I see with the spoiler facing the other way

Beautiful car, and it looks great under the hood too!

Tommy,

your build is very nice. It is an inspiration to get mine going. I just bought a glue-bomb Revell 70 Torino for the engine, chassis and running gear, and I have an old glue-bomb Cyclone to get the rest from.

I'll be straight forward.  The spoiler is on backwards.  It is basically the same spoiler on 69-73 Mustangs and the front edge is the flat part and the back part is tapered.

You are absolutely right. How,i even used the original brochure for referance

I prefer straight forward. Used superglue since it is resin so not sure if i can correct

it. The legs seem to be a bit long,after staring at it for some time.

The model I am using is moulded in Maroon. I like Grabber Yellow to be different. I bought the Dash and Photoetch from Missing Link. I may go with a Cyclone GT in lieu of the Spoiler. I have decals as well as the grilles to do a 70 or a 71 car.
