Revell 1/25 70 Boss 429 Mustang
Posted by BrandonK on Thursday, March 10, 2022 1:50 PM

This is a kit I helped my son build back in 2014, I painted and he built. After a few years it fell into disrepair and he no longer wanted it. It was painted mica red with black interior. I blew it appart a couple years ago and stripped it fully. In January I finally decided to put it back together.

I painted it Grabber Blue (MCW) and 2K cleared it. Not a perfect paint job, but not too bad either. I went with the white interior as I like the look. I also added guage decals and some 20 inch Magnum 500's. I stipped all the chrome and repainted all that. I am missing the upper rad hose, but till I find one I am calling it done. The engine is Ford Engine blue, also MCW paint. On to the next one.

Very nice job!  I've never done a resto like that.  BTW check out this decal set for just such projects:

WOW!  That is so SWEET!  I can't believe that this was a restoration.  Bravo on an excellent job of breathing new life into an old kit.

Ya, I saw those and almost got them. Didn't really have most of what I wanted though. Still, would be nice to have.
