So yesterday my G/F felt like walking around stores looking for Easter stuff and picture frames and decides to go to Michaels. I hadn't been there in ages and I had forgotten they have other things besides arts and crafts one of them being a model section.

The cool part is they have a ton of Mustang models! Bullitts old new, GT500's, Fastbacks, you name it. It was the car they had the most of! The best thing I found though by far was a die cast metal made by Maisto part of their "Assembly Line" series. It's an 06 Vista Blue GT Hardtop. Basically the Metal shell is already put together and painted. All you gotta do is install the trim, engine, chassis, wheels, seats etc. They even give you a little screwdriver.

Maisto Products

That's the model I ended up getting. A definite must for Vista Blue owners or collectors in general.
I ended up getting also a 350z for my G/F since that's her car. Really good quality stuff. It'll fit nicely in my Mustang corner :nice:
 
I used to do resin models all the time when I was a kid. I've got one I started about 2 years ago lol. Just don't have the time. I have several I haven't opened yet. I'll probably never get to them. I got back into them when I was laid up from my car wreck and haven't done anything since.
 
I have a bunch of resin model Stangs in boxes in storage. I'd say at least 20? I don't have any pics of when they were out on display at my old house. I have a few unfinished/unopened as well. I've been out of the model building for several years now. I do have two of the Maisto die cast Stang models. blue '67 and VB S197 (not assembled).

A few other shots with my Stang and die cast I took a few years ago.
