Hi all, It's been a while since I started new project and have already made some progress but decided to share build process here. Hope you will find it interesting. My plan is to build nice and shiny fourth generation Ford Mustang from mid '90s. I made my mind long time ago and want to have it in bright yellow with black and white interior. Something like this: So this is what we have to start with - quite simple and descent quality kit from Tamiya. Nicely moulded body with some minor issue required a bit of sanding. Model can be build in two ways hardtop or roof can be cut off to get convertible version. Large sprue with bumpers, chassis and interior parts: Smaller one with suspension, exhaust and some other parts: Really nice tyres and wheels. The are not too shiny - exactly as it should be. Sprue with clear parts and yellowed decal sheet. Luckily there are only couple of emblems and dashboard required so won't be a big problem. First of all I did a dry test assembly to see how all parts sit together. A bit worrying about huge gap between body and rear compartment. Hope it will be hidden with window installed. Obviously this is not the top quality kit from tamiya so some work on removing pin marks and putty needed. Also I decided to glue fenders. Looks much better to me. When I started sanding and preparing body Usually I prefer to re-scribe panel lines as deep as possible but in this case body has mirrored panel lines at back side which caused extra headache. First thick layer of primer to see imperfections: Painted exhaust and suspension parts: The most annoying part of the build so far was masking and painting chassis with engine imitation: Thanks for watching.
