Tamiya Ford Mustang

During a clean out I've come across a kit I built around 25 years ago. It's been in a ertl display case, should of bought more. It's missing the mirrors and front number plate. Back then I would of used humbrol paints, when they had good coverage. I reckon I spray painted this with a really cheap air brush that I had hooked up to a car tyre for air. I would have been around 15 when I built this kit. I remember not being happy with the headlight detail so I tinted them.

Great job on it.

nice build. That paint job has held up well.

Nice "VINTAGE" build.... .... Stuart you did real good even back then.

Good to see you back young fella.

Thanks. I bought the one ertl display case in the shop and was told they couldn't get any more back then. I have a couple of kits here that didn't last as well. I'm looking at bigger display cases now but the hinges and joins have gaps. This little case is almost air tight being for one vehicle. Any advice on a bigger display case?

These are the kits that have been in the same box as the Mustang. Minus the display case. Alfa was first, brushed with tamiya acrylic, it was bad. Next the merc brushed humbrol silver. The bike was the first I airbrushed. The Mustang was next, then came too many distractions, model kits were pushed aside.
