This one looks ok i think its down to the plastic used on the older kits seems slightly harder and has kept its shape

Look forward to it, I'm sure you will do a great job. Lots of shiny! hope it's an enjoyable build, being an old kit

Looking really good Peter, nice work on the engine. It is gonna be a beast!

looks good so far Peter. Agree with the other comments, the engine looks very nice indeed.

I have just given the mustang its first coat of paint using some silver wheel paint its acrylic so it shouldn't react with my normal paint.


The paint i used is called hycoat a lot cheaper than humbrol rattle cans but gives just as good cover View attachment 118855
