Wow thanks guys! Glad I started posting my wip. I've been practicing. This is my first one without tiger striping the paint so I'm especially thrilled with the response! Cars are a completely different technique than my aircraft - that gloss requires a wet coat to go down and that's taken some getting used to. With aircraft I've always avoided that because of losing the details in rivets and panel lines.
BK didn't know you were Air Force. Glad you're along for the ride Lee, yep that's all paint work so far. The practice on my Thunderbirds planes is paying off here
In the pattern: Scale Shipyard's 1/48 Balao Class Sub! leaning out the list...NOT! Ha, added to it again - Viper MkVii, 1/32 THUD & F-15J plus a weekend madness build!
I didnt realize ford did these. Fun project. Looking good
Thanks,
John

A couple years ago I found these tribute Mustangs that Ford does For charity auctions. There's 2 that match planes in my collection. Since I've already built the F-16 I decided to pull this out of the stash to complete the set. Starting with Revell's 2014 Mustang GT I'm going to recreate the paint scheme. No major body alterations on this one, like the wide body kit on the actual tribute car. There's a great skid pan on this one that really makes the underside pop. Will save that as a reveal for later in the build :-) The kit comes prepainted so 1st off sand it all down and primer it in white. Fortunately the windows are all one piece, they come installed so a little force was required for removal. Out intact so no wo there. No decals of course so doing the best I can will the Cameo. From a foot away the Thunderbirds logo will look the part.

Decided it's not custom without bringing the stripe under the hood. Couldn't find any pictures but it does say there is a supercharger under there.
Now onto the chasis for the week...
