Title: Phantom Mustang
Post by: b29r on June 24, 2015, 09:46:38 PM

Here is Monogram's old classic.   Tried some bare metal foil to "frame" areas of the model.  Not my best effort, but not the worst either.  I don't know if this is really a WIF, but maybe it could be. ;)  Please excuse the photo quality, I know they are bad  :(

Thanks for looking in.

That looks really good! My Dad built this when I was a kid. I loved the working equipment.

Welcome to BTS, Kem! Your Phantom Mustang is quite a smashing way to make an introduction!

In particular, I especially like your take on the famous zinc chromate green. Granted, this color can be a real bone of contention, but the way you render it sure looks nice against the red markings. The addition of BMF is icing on the cake!

Well done and I look forward to seeing more of your work!

Thanks all!  You have made me feel very welcome here  :).  This was a lot of fun to do, and maybe I will inflict a couple more on you guys, as I made some mistakes here, and think I can do a better job going forward.

Frank3k:  Good to have those of memories of Dad, and enjoying things together.  All of the features on this one worked . . . . for a while  :(  We're down to just the motor now.

Tophe:  I hadn't tried BMF previously, and it was a good learning experience . . . the stuff was trickier than I expected, so made some blunders.

Brian:  This was a Shelf of Doom build, and I had painted things like the wing tanks in zinc chromate before I learned that wasn't right.  So live and learn I guess is what we all try to do.

Thanks again for your support, much appreciated.  More wacky builds coming this way  ;)

Best regards,
Kem

The BMF gives it a very different look. Excellent work!
