An
AMT 1967 Mustang kit.
I was thinking of Steve McQueen's Bullet when making this
(though I painted it an automotive metallic blue color instead
of a green, and the original car was a '68.)
The
wheels has grooves in them, so I filled the grooves with
red paint and wiped the access off. Bingo! Red stripe tires.
The
rear trunk area on the body has an indentation, and a seperate
trunk lid. So with some quick cutting, you can have an open
trunk (or just glue the trunk in place). A nice extra touch
from AMT on this kit.
This is a good kit, but getting it to sit level in the front
is a problem. Their AMT Shelby
1968 Mustang has the same issue.
The
paint is an automotive color out of a can with a coat of
Testors clear.

Shelby
Mustang: Racer for the Street - When Ford wanted to add
some spice to its new Mustang pony car in the mid-1960s, it
turned to talented, colorful, and opinionated Texan Carroll
Shelby, who was then building high-performance racing sports
cars (Cobras) using a British body and a Ford engine. The
resulting Shelby Mustangs proved to be the definitive performance
Mustangs of the muscle-car era. Ford has recently released
a new Mustang, the first truly all-new Mustang since 1979,
returning the model to the spotlight.The most-talked-about
and anticipated version of the new Mustang is the Shelby Cobra
GT500, which Ford will bring to market in 2006. Shelby himself
was involved in the development of what will be the most powerful
factory-produced Mustang ever. This rich new history from
award-winning authors Randy Leffingwell and David Newhardt
traces the Shelby Mustang story from the early Shelby America
cars built in a converted airplane hangar in Southern California
to the 2006 version of
the new Mustang.
