Revell 1971 Boss 351 Mustang in Medium Yellow Gold

[mrversatile]

This is finished, and as I stated in the WIP this is the best engineered Revell kit ever. I hope you like it.

In Summary: Color: MCW Ford "Medium Yellow Gold" lacquer polished with no clear coat, painted black hood and lower accents
Interior: Factory "Ginger" deluxe (3 different tones of Valljo Acrylics were used)
Engine: Wired and plumbed with plug wires, pvc hose, vacuum hose, fuel line, and battery cables.
Undercarriage: Painted with Red oxide primer and overspray with a full array of factory inspection markings
Wheels: Fireball Modelworks resin hub caps and chrome rings. Painted with Alcad "polished aluminum" Valve stems added.
Extras: Chrome trim was applied with BMF and molotow ink. Antennae and base was scratchbuilt.

Just fantastic Gil. You have turned out one stunning Mustang.

A truly stunning result. And this was a lot of fun to follow along with throughout the build. Bravo.

[handiabled]

Absolutely outstanding!

Thats one really boss Mustang! Great work on this project!

[modelcarjr]

Fantastic build! All the paint looks so well done! Nice!

[RetroSpectKustoms]

Great build! Nicely built and detailed too. Good to know it's a good kit, I plan to grab one.

Man, that is sharp!

Best engineered Revell kit EVER? I guess I need to try one, then.

Very well done Gil.

Very well done!! Reminds me of the original Eleanor from 1974, only much better looking. Great workmanship!!

Nice 'Stang, Gil! Hope mine turns out as nice. Sort of reminds me of my buddy's '73 with the color and ginger interior. I had a yellow '72 with the ginger interior. Love the idea of the scratchbuilt antenna. Probably going to try my hand at doing that also. Found a great medical component supply place for my Ukrainian Su-25M1 project that sells all kinds of tiny hypodermic tubing and rods of various, super small diameters. Might even see if I can give it a two-segment, telescoping look.

I'm trying to figure out how I missed this completed thread Gil.  I really cannot say enough good things about this man. 

I really like the way you've depicted an O.E.M. paint job. I've been guilty myself of showroom shines on a factory car but you've most certainly nailed the correct look of a factory car indeed. The details inside, outside and underneath of this car are among the best I've seen yet. I also like the usage of Molotow and Alclad to achieve the chrome effects. Just a great effort in every category. WOW!!

Thanks for checking in, Joe. You have to get yourself one of these. They are well worth it.

I may indeed have to pull the trigger on one of these Gil.

Unbelievable result, I'm sure the success of the build has as much to do with your skill level as it has to do with the kit, outstanding stuff!

Wow.....
