Several years ago we here at Mustang Monthly had a column called Mustangs in Miniature. This section of the magazine dealt with Mustangs of a more diminutive size. From 1:25 scale models down to HO gauge steeds; if it was small, we covered it. Like other columns, this one saw its day in the sun and somehow fell away. Even so, a number of readers have requested its return. Now they can rejoice, if only for one issue.
Most of the time when a model car comes across our desk, it's in kit form and needs to be assembled. Several of these plastic kits, and even one or two Revell metal body kits, have been collecting dust on our shelves at home. We will often look at them in admiration and think, One day we'll have the time to assemble those model cars. Even our advertisers carry popular Mustang kits in their catalogs, so there must be something to this.
That brings us to Tim Boyd of Plymouth, Michigan. When Tim sent us the photos of his Boss 302, we were--quite frankly--amazed. Here was a 1:25 scale kit to be envious of. In fact, the car was so nice, it was featured on the cover and was the lead feature of Scale Auto Enthusiast (SAE) in December 1999. What was cool to us, aside from the killer Boss 302 detailing story, was the story even mentioned Mustang Monthly--and this isn't the first time we've been mentioned by our friends at SAE. So without further adieu, we'll let Boyd show you what he did working for scale.
