See the Step-by-Step Review Todd McWilliams 
Timeline 1970: In an effort to compete with the other American auto makers on the track in the Trans Am racing series of the late 1960’s, Ford dropped their lighter weight 302 V8 into the redesigned 1970 Mustang. The result was a balanced supercar that could handle the corners as well as it could go in a straight line. This is the street legal version of the car that gave Ford the 1970 Manufacturer’s Title win by one point over its rivals. Quite an accomplishment and a beautiful car to boot!
The 1:24 scale kit parts count is over 94 pieces and is molded in white plastic, clear glass/headlight lens, clear taillight panes, chrome and black tires. A well detailed decal sheet is included for engine, interior and exterior details.
For the Modeler – Revell did hit the proverbial ‘nail on the head’ with this kit! This kit builds up into one “Boss Mustang”! Lots of detail, excellent decals and the proportions look right on! Would I build this kit again? Yes I would. As a matter of fact I do have the ’70 Mustang Mach I Special Edition version of this kit which builds either the Mach I or the Boss 302.

After Larry Shinoda left the design team at General Motors he went to Ford Motor Companys design team in 1969. Larry Shinoda went to work on the 1969 and 1970 Mustangs. Larry Shinoda was given the credit of the Boss Mustangs being his creations. Good job Todd on your build. I have tried to find the Wim. White here in my area. Where were you able to find it?
Hi Mike, Thanks for the additional historical information, it always helps add to the overall picture! The Wimbledon White I used was Duplicolor brand. Here in New Jersey automotive touchup paint is getting harder to come by, but I’m trying to remember just where I got it from. If you go to the Duplicolor site, I believe they have a store finder that may help you find a supplier locally. Thank you for the kind words on the build too.
Enjoy! – Todd
