| Mustang IMSA Motorsports This model was built in time for the National NNL 38 theme "Road Racing in America" in October 2017. I had the model for a few years and bought it because I really liked the colour scheme. The actual car was more like a Ford Capri than a Mustang and was built with the help of Zakspeed out of Germany. If you build this model, be aware of a few issues: - Mine had a warped chassis, which I didn't discover until close to final assembly - The rear wing locating tabs are not very precise and on this model is actually not centred compared to the body - There are quite a few fit issues with the model, so lots of dry-fitting is necessary Base Kit(s): Monogram Ford Motorsports Mustang IMSA Racer (kit number 2297) Finished: October 2017 Modifications/Additions: - added photoetch screen to rear of radiator - replaced some roll cage and front frame tubes with styrene rod - Eduard seatbelt - replaced some piping in engine with solder - cigarette paper used on turbo intercooler pipe - red shrinkwrapped tubing, with bare metal foil clamps on engine piping - replaced molded instrument panel wiring with small diameter wire - metal screen made for turbo inlet - scratchbuilt front brake air ducts (wrapped .3 mm solder around electrical wire, added red shrinkwrap tubing) - body paint is Tamiya pure white and blue Click on Thumbnail to see detailed image.
