Dragonhawk1066 Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Here is my just completed version of the Revell 1971 Mustang Mach 1 Diamonds Are Forever kit. It's painted in a custom mixed color using Chroma Molten Metals Copper with a few drops of Apple Barrel Black added to darken it. Createx 4050 Gloss Clear was used and wet-sanded, polished, and waxed. The stripes are from the Revell 1971 Mustang Boss 351 kit while the wheels and tires are 3D printed from Mean Machine Models on eBay. The interior is done in Createx opaque black with the kit decals added for the gauges and woodgrain door panel. Bare Metal Foil is on the window trim and I added valve stems and door lock knobs for extra detail. Kit decals were applied to help detail the engine compartment, and I added spark plug wires and heater hoses for extra detail as well. This is an excellent kit, as most have built the Boss 351 well know, with only a few differences between the two versions. I have some build updates including painting and detailing the wheels and tires on my Youtube channel, Stumpy Grump's Scale Speed Shop, for those interested. As always, thanks for looking. 23
JollySipper Posted January 30 Posted January 30 This is such a pretty build! So clean and perfect, and the color really sets it apart.................
Chuckyg1 Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Very cool. Tidy little build with plenty of detail. That color.......
DanL Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Great work on this very nice kit... detailing is excellent Cheers Dan
TransAmMike Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Another super nice build by you Craig. I like the color for that body style Mustang and great looking paint job!! 👍
happy grumpy Posted January 30 Posted January 30 This kit is a gem and you did a stellar job on it. The color alone is gorgeous and the craftsmanship is stellar ! Thanks for sharing it.
Lunajammer Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Great looking model. That copper and black is striking. Love the clean details.
Tommy124 Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Great job, well done! I think these brownish/ copper paints do look great on any historic gen Mustang! Myself I did a mix of clear orange and chrome silver on my 66 build back then. 3
Mike 1017 Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Great paint color. In the very very late 60's Earth Tone Colors were becoming very popular.
DoctorLarry Posted January 30 Posted January 30 I always loved the look of these models of Mustangs. I remember when they came out there were mixed feelings about the design, which I think is still true. The color combo looks very nice and the detail work sets it off. Great build.
espo Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Great looking paint color you concocted along with the finish. The body stripping is all cleanly done. Like the engine detailing.
