Review and Photos by Mike Phelps \"Mike<\/a><\/p>\n

For the modeler \u00e2\u20ac\u201c this is a fun kit to build with plenty of detail. The review points out an accurate finishing motif, construction sequence and needed preparation steps for a great looking model. The best part is that this kit can be shelf ready in a short time.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1501\"<\/a>
\n1501 This kit contains 66 pieces three trees molded in white, one tree in chrome, one tree of clear parts, soft black tires and a 30 piece decal sheet with instructions.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1506\"<\/a>
\n1506 This photo shows\u00c2\u00a0that areas that needed to be sanded indicated by black marker. This would be the top of the spoiler and where the tail lights will go.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1509\"<\/a>
\n1509 The top of the fenders and these areas should also be sanded.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1511\"<\/a>
\n1511 The body was primed with Krylon\u00c2\u00ae gray primer.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1514\"<\/a>
\n1514 The body was painted in DupliColor\u00c2\u00ae brilliant red.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1654\"<\/a>
\n1654 As shown here is the placement for decal #8. The front of the engine should be painted black to match the original engine color scheme.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1664\"<\/a> \"DSCN1666\"<\/a>
\n1666 This is how the complete engine should look. The rocker cover and the inter-coolers\u00c2\u00a0should also be painted black. This is an accurate representation of the actual engine. Also decals #19 and #20 go on the inter-cooler.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1670\"<\/a>
\n1670 In this photo of the exhaust pipe it needs to be taped in place until the glue sets.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1671\"<\/a>
\n1671 The small pipe shown here will be\u00c2\u00a0tight fit between the\u00c2\u00a0engine and the front suspension.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1680\"<\/a>
\n1680 The rear suspension maybe tricky to install because the hog head can or will butt up against the muffler.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1687\"<\/a>
\n1687 Shown here is the dash and this is what the real dash looks like. Decals #1-#6 are the gauge decals\u00c2\u00a0used on this dash.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1688\"<\/a>
\n1688 This is an accurate representation of the interior of the Mustang\u00e2\u201e\u00a2. The seats were painted with Krylon\u00c2\u00ae gray primer. The lighter color is brushed on using Testors\u00c2\u00ae flat interior gray. The red stripe was applied using a toothpick. After the red stripe was added a toothpick was used to do any touch up where needed. For touch up\u00c2\u00a0on the seats Testors\u00c2\u00ae 1163 flat gray was used. Also, tweezers were used for the parking brake installation.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1689\"<\/a>
\n1689 The completed interior shown here is an accurate representation of\u00c2\u00a0the real car.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1695\"<\/a>
\n1695 The rims\u00c2\u00a0slots and lug nut areas are painted flat black. The excess was removed with a toothpick.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1707\"<\/a>
\n1707 Here is the completed engine compartment.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1714\"<\/a>
\n1714 In this photo shown here is the headlight area. The parking lights were painted with Testors\u00c2\u00ae turn signal amber. The black on the moldings were done with a Sharpie\u00c2\u00ae black marker and semi-gloss black paint. The clear parts were installed with Testors\u00c2\u00ae window maker and clear parts glue\u00e2\u201e\u00a2.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1721\"<\/a>
\n1721 In the photo shown here of\u00c2\u00a0the rear of the car the tail lights were painted with Testors\u00c2\u00ae stop light red. The turn signals were painted with Testors\u00c2\u00ae turn signal amber. The back up\u00c2\u00a0 lights were painted with Testors\u00c2\u00ae white and the black stripe should be added\u00c2\u00a0 to give it an authentic look and a Sharpie\u00c2\u00ae black marker was used for the line.<\/p>\n
