Faust Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Well, since it’s the 50th anniversary of the Mustang this year, I got motivated to pull a ‘Stang out of the stash and have a go at it! Of course, I decided to pick the weirdest one I had; no ’68 Shelbys or ‘80s 5.0L cars would fill the bill. I wanted to do a Mustang that most people seem to have forgotten about. Clearly, the oft-derided SVO was a perfect candidate! I’d picked up the Monogram 1/24 kit a couple of years ago, and in researching it, I’d found that it didn’t come in many colours. However, I also stumbled across a couple in dark green. Doing more research, I found that this colour was for the Hertz rent-a-car ones only. I was immediately drawn to this rare version of a fairly obscure car, and, well, the rest is history! Check out my 4E Dark Sage SVO and tell me what you think! http://adamrehorn.wordpress.com/model-kits/cars/monogram-124-1985-5-mustang-svo-hertz-4e-special/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChippyWho Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Well, it's all there: not a glamorous (but very appealing) subject; interesting colour and a fine build. Very nice work, Sir! (When I saw the title, I thought it might be one of those 'Warcraft' thingies... ) Edited August 13, 2014 by ChippyWho Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Faust Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 Thanks guys, for the compliments. It's definitely a weird subject, and thus definitely one I'd build with glee! :) I love that, Chippy! I never thought of it that way, with SAGE and DARK being all warcrafty! AWESOME!

Joel_W Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Very nicely done Mustang SVO. Can't remember the last time I saw one. One thing for sure, it's been quite a while. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Faust Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Yeah, there really isn't a large number of them around. There are actually two in my city; a black and a silver. I find them very striking cars, and they look really interesting today, pitted against the highly-bespoilered and hoodscooped import tuner cars. In a lot of ways, the SVO was the first tuner, or one of them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
