Revell '65 Mustang Fastback

Ok, I am going to attempt another car. My last two have ended badly and unfinished. I hope to somewhat follow the dude from A4 Garage on youtube.


This guys has skills I don't fully understand, and I will not set myself up for failure by trying to reach his level, but will do my best to be close to his results using his videos as a guide.

I started with the engine bay.

I cut the battery off to set up making tha battery apron. I have a disassenbled 65 Mustang Coupe in my garage to help with referencing and measurements.


I used Tamiya polyester putty (aka Bondo) to fill in the gaps.

It looks like I lost a bolthead on the tray support. I haven't finished sanding yet. I plan on using my Blender skills to create some of the parts that A4 scratchbuilds. I have made the battery, radiator, and horns and will show them in the next post.

Here are the pieces I made in Blender:


They are printing right now.

Next phase, door and trunk removal. I used the back of an Xacto knife for the entire process on this one. Many times I use a little razor saw along with the knife. There were minimal slips this time that should be quite easy to fix

Typical for the time, radiator way to small for the engine. How many times did we sit on the side of the road in my Mom's '67 Caprice wagon because the radiator was too small for that 327 to cool down. Oddly it was always the same place on hwy 378.

Mad skills you have Greg, this is what I meant on the call, you don't need no stinkin' files!

Very kind to say Pup! I do OK on hard surfaced things, and love doing it.
