1989 Ford Mustang Whistler - Revell 1:25

My main idea for the build ended up being that this was a car never fully retired was kept running since 1989, a race car relic.

A very detailed kit built out of the box. The kit came without decals It was difficult fitting parts and assemblies.
Overall I’m really happy with the finish I attempted here and importantly that I got through to the end.

Modifications - Made a more suitable looking fuel filler, rear inner fenders from styrene, Self made livery / logotypes and window masks

Pros - All new and a first for me was experimenting with pre shading methods, and different types of paint wear, multi step painting with masks
Cons - Could always be more detailed, and the final overall fit is not perfect

I thought it would be fun to photograph back to back with a stock version. It reminded me of the irreversible race modification option in gran turismo as well as 80s / 90s manufacturer advertisements showing the road version and factory race car side by side. Something I may actively continue to aim to make with active and future projects.
