ModelcarJR Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 This bagged kit is done. The interior mirror and taillights were missing so I left the mirror out and substituted two pieces cut from a 2009 Dodge Challenger taillight. The paint is Dupli-Color Bahama Blue Metallic. Interior is black with wood accents. The interior bucket and chassis were pretty poor but overall it turned out OK. The Eliminator stripe is missing as it disintegrated into little pieces. Thanks for looking! ? 3
espo Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 Great looking color and smooth finish. I like the cleaner look without the stripes, but it's what you like that counts.
vamach1 Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 Very nice build. The Boss 302 engine would be a natural for the MPC 69 Mustang kit. Of course Revell finally got around to doing their own Boss 302 a few years back.
Kah puts Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 That's one well turned out model, license plates and side mirrors, top drawer.
AMT68 Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 Great work and the Bahama Blue looks very similar to Tamiya TS-54 in these pictures.
ModelcarJR Posted March 17, 2022 Author Posted March 17, 2022 Thanks, All! I appreciate your very kind comments! Yes, the Bahama Blue Metallic is very close to Tamiya's Light Blue metallic. I can get 4 builds from their 8 oz. can while maybe 2 builds from a Tamiya's 3 oz. can for about $4 more.
M W Elky Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 That’s a sharp looking cougar.I really like the paint color I’ve got to try some of that
Ian McLaren Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Very nice model and built very cleanly, well done!
drodg Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Very nice and stock. I was going to mention in your work in progress on the GTO that it looks like you have a nice Cougar sitting in that picture.
bisc63 Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 Fantastic job on this kit! The color really makes it stand out, in my book.
EliminatorMike Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 Wow, that looks great! The Bahama Blue looks like a close enough match to the factory Bright Blue Metallic paint color! Great work! Mike B. Cougar Club of America #9557

TooOld Posted March 19, 2022 Posted March 19, 2022 Beautiful Cougar ! Don't think I've ever seen one in that color , I like it ! And I also prefer the cleaner look without the stripes .
