Buoyed by actually managing to finish my Lotus Elan, Porsche GT3 and Land Rover I'm embarking on another homage to a member of the fleet.



This time it's one of these:



hopefully looking a little like this:



Wish me luck.

Interior done.





It is a little bit Barbie & Ken, but a homage to:

After plenty of painting of the body, we're done.

As predicted, the kit is a little rough'n'ready, with some poor fit and plenty of moulding marks - there's certainly a gulf between this and the Revell Land Rover in terms of quality.

I found the plastic pretty soft, and parts broke or bent easily (or I just don't have sufficient dexterity). There is also something of a contradiction in the quality with there being some nice detail moulded into the parts; I'm just not skillful enough to be able to highlight them well (the body badges and lettering, windscreen wipers etc.).

However, it's the only choice for a '66 Mustang at this scale, so I'm glad to have done it.
