FM does a remarkably good job on Mustangs! The new generation of FM ‘Stangs are no exception. Their 2005 and 2007 Mustangs, GT’s and GT500’s are especially well done. In convertible configuration, this Mineral Grey Metallic drop top is fantastic. FM gives us the choice of display by supplying the boot or ‘up top’, both in a wonderfully textured black.
The interior is a muted red that adds a nice flavor to the color combo. FM has the chrome metal foiled scripts and badges ‘dialed in’. They are coated along with the paint in a clearcoat that is shiny and glossy smooth. The car rides on operating suspension. By the way, the chassis is rich with great detailing touches. The metallic coloration of the differential housing, and heat shielding is really admirable. It shows time well spent in fabrication.
The interior exhibits the same modeler’s touch and has good detail all around. The fit of the top and boot is tight. It may take a moment to get the boot to fit just right but the time spent is well worth it. It fits like a glove. It is a more straight forward exercise on the up top but it, too, fits well and looks realistic. The engine has all the detailing bells and whistles and it carries those attributes down to the engine, trans and chassis.
Once again FM makes good color choices and fabricates a really handsome Mustang convertible.
