Turned out great! Looks just like your car!

[Old Fart]

Thanks. Thinking of painting the wheel spokes black?

[Zippy]

oh wow. Thats super cool

[Old Fart]

Thanks. Only thing left is to find Ford and GT stickers.

Should get some paint protection film put on it.

[R3troGT]

Great Job

[Ponyryd]

Looks good, is that matte paint? Tough to tell from the pic. I’d leave the wheels alone though.

[N89]

Wow, that looks great!

[Scrape]

Looks good. Need any ceramic coating work done? LOL

[Old Fart]

Thanks all!

The paint is Dupli-Color and a few coats of clear. It's another no-sunshine day up here so it does shine a bit more with more light.

LOL at ceramic coating!

You've been busy.

Looks amazing! I wish someone made a diecast of the 99-04 Roush

Masking that must have taken a bit of time!

[Old Fart]

Mo masking...it all comes apart. Only the doors, hood and trunk stay attached.

Looks good! I did the same with my Bullitt die-cast many years ago, fun little project.

No way... that's super cool

Waited almost a year for these 1/18 mustang stickers to come in. First one I ordered did not show and got a refund. Could not find these anywhere else so re-ordered from same China supplier and they arrived about a week ago.

When I got the diecast, I did not question the lack of hood scoop, side scoops and correct spoiler, since it was labelled as a 1999 Mustang GT. However, it seems they made 2 versions. So this one will be my next 1/18 project.
