Very nice, clean build. Really like the color.  Your outdoor photos make it look almost real, I like the way you subdued the background to bring focus on the car; well done.

Very nice work.  Seeing this build with the borrowed parts from a 73 kit reminds me of what the 71-73 Mustang kits could have been with a more realistic engine compartment and correct dual exhaust system.

Super-clean build. Nice work on the chrome trim and Cougar badges. Did you use BMF or paint?

Thanks,  BMF was used on all except the Cougar scripts, those were dry-brushed with Testors silver.  The plan was to do the foil under paint method for them but totally forgot to do it LOL.

Is that the old MPC mold? If so, I built that kit when it had the old Dyno Don Super Cat decals.

I'm not sure and not an expert by any means, but I think you may be correct.

 

Thanks for the comments guys,  I'm really happy with how she turned out.

Many thanks again guys!

Beautiful Cougar, Tony. Nice, clean work. Love the colour. Polishing the paint without clear coat works so well on cars of this era.

Beautiful Muscle Car Tony…looks stellar in yellow!  Great choice of wheels and tires.  

[Rattlecan Dan]

The wheels look awesome on this. Super looking build, I'll be browsing ebay now seeing this! lol

[bogger44]

Thanks guys!  I've always been a fan of the Cougar, and like others say, feel they are often overlooked and underappreciated.

Really nice build. I found the graphics for the decal sheet for Ertl when they were getting ready to do that one. I also did the trade show/catalog photo build (in orange). I really like your build and your outdoor photography. It looks really close to real. Kudos and 2 thumbs up!
