vppelt68 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Hi guys, I'm not one of the regular automotive modellers at the BM, but I do have an interest and some background in car modelling too. How about a car model specific single type group build for the Ford Mustang? Read more here: Best regards, V-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitkent Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I could do this,I have a 1/43 resin kit of an IMSA GTO Mustang racecar if that's ok.The kit is made in the U.S.A too. Group builds have a long leadtime to start from what I've seen,not done yet myself...I think I have a Bullit Mustang too but after a quick look l can't find it yet.Chris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlambert Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I've never done a group build but I quite fancy building a Mustang (an early one, for preference). But it would mean buying yet another kit... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthewbacon Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Might encourage me to build the Bullitt fastback (and paint) I have, or the Boss 302... I’d be in. best, M. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyW Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Sounds like a good idea to me. Count me in. Tony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan R Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I have a started Monogram IMSA Mustang. Is that allowed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 There´s a 25% rule regarding started builds in a group build. Some GB hosts are more strict in calculating the percentage than others but with even the already allotted single type group builds taking place in 2022... if you have recently started the IMSA and it´s on a roll, I recommend not to put it on hold to wait to be completed in the GB . On the other hand, if that started kit is on your shelf of shame/doom, the GB may be just the push you need to complete it in good company .

Nick Sorry @Nick Belbin if I got your hopes up... it’s 1/25, based on the Revell 68 GT 2 in 1 kit... there was a build in Scale Auto which goes through what you need to do to reproduce the movie car.. best, M.

dbostream Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) I would be interested in joining this GB. I have a couple of Mustangs in the stash.

Six97s Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I think I have a few unbuilt Mustangs, so I'm interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 There are now 12 interested members listed at the GB Chat thread. Excellent, we are already nearing the half of the required number of participants, in just three days . V-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redstaff Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 It would be good to get any car subject in the group build section, count me in I haven't got a mustang kit, but I'm sure I can find one easily enough when the time is right Ian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 What sort of timescale are we looking at for the build (sorry, haven't done a group build before)? No Mustangs in the stash, but the original Shelby (to go with the 2006 Hertz I did a while back) keeps getting close to being bought before something jumps ahead of it, so this could be the push I need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 @Spiny The single type group builds last three months and the next open slot in the GB calendar would be somewhere in summer of 2022! I'll add you to the list anyway . V-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six97s Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 2022? 🧐 I see there are other GBs in progress, but I don't understand why this should be contingent on those finishing first? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 I'm sad to say the Ford Mustang Single Type Group Build ended yesterday but I'm glad we had a good one, with sixteen of the original ponycars making it to the Gallery in time . The poll for the "best in show" is now open. Why not take a look at them and vote for your favorite? V-P 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
