Hi,
I am Nenad Mitrovic. I am on the Aussie Modellers Forum, and this is one of my entries into the Aussie Group Build 2005. I have decided to take another crack at finishing it. This is a kitbash/scratchbuild of a locally produced road going car. It's a Ford Falcon (model BA).
So far I have chopped and repositioned the roof of my donor kit.
I have also modified the rear to represent the AU Falcon, but this will now be reworked to represent the BA Falcon (shown above). I have also made the slab sides by supergluing sheet styrene to the sides and profiling them along the top. Still needs some work as it's only roughed out at present.
I was stumped on the front end, and then one day it hit me. I can't believe the Ford Australia styling designers ripped off the Mustang SVT front end so much. Here are the comparison shots.
What do you guys think of this similarity?
I have been out at a car yard taking lots of pictures and measurements and can confirm that so far this models dimensions(wheelbase, width, height etc) are accurate.

After I graft the Mustang's front end, it is a matter of massaging the body into shape. Currently the rear is based on the previous unsuccessful model (AU) which I am now scrapping in favour of this one. When done with the road going version I want to make a copy of it and modify it into the V8 Supercar version which has won the V8 Supercar Championship 2 years running. Here are pics of the race car/
This is a WIP thread. So I will be working on it when I can. I hope you enjoy my progress on this model.
Cheers
Nenad
