1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1

nicely done very clean build 

Nicely done, thank you for sharing.

I sure like the classic Mustangs which, from my point of view, would be late 60's to early 70's. This fits right in there.

Sorry you had troubles, it doesn't show.

Nice results.  I hate those old Revell, AMT, Lindberg, etc kits due to poor parts fit.

Very nice build! Keep up the good work.

Hi,

That looks great 

Big fan of the car.  And nice job.   I had a 65 gt coupe.  Currently drive a 2013 boss 302 laguna seca and would love a 69 sportsroof

The rear tail light panel needs to fit up behind the edge of the trunk lid, towards the interior of the car, not on top or behind it. Thats probably why you encountered fit problems. The instructions are not very clear on this. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Yeah, the entire rear is a disaster. 

The assembly is meant to fit inside the main body, but I glued it on top because (a) the instructions were non existent and (b) it felt right - fitted perfectly whereas squeezing in where apparently it was meant to be felt really wrong and forced. 

Anyway - it is what it is, and i sort of rescued it!

Live and learn!

This is nothing against your model, but, about all models of the 70 Mustang that I have seen. I think that the entire grill area was made too big giving a bit of goofy look that can't be fixed. The '70 Mustang is one of my favorites and I do not own a model of it for this reason.

I think you did a great job with a less than perfect kit.  I see what you mean about the rear.  Kudos for a good stance.  The 1:1 is a bit more nose high, but if I had the model, I would set it at the stance you chose.  I think the detailing looks good and overall it is a nice clean build.  Thanks for showing the good and bad on this kit.  I have it in my pile and now I can approach it with this information.  That's what this forum is all about.

Cheers,
