I'm pretty sure they did the GT with the foglights, the ground effects and rest of the busy work - but did they ever shoot the cleaned up LX version? I hooked my nephew up with a '90 model 5.0 LX for his first ride, I thought a model of it might be kind of cool if such a beast exists.
TIA

Nope, no LXs in plastic. All American Models did a resin body conversion in either the coupe or the hatchback but getting one now is difficult and expensive. I've heard rumours that someone else was/is producing the coupe but I'm not up on all the different producers. After a few burns by others I try to stick with Modelhaus resin parts and kits now.

Yeah I was hoping against hope - I didn't recall seeing one over the years or else it would have made it into my stash. Being a gift for a casual young modeller, resin would be out anyway. I'm lucky he builds (and completes!) the styrene kits I've already given him, I wouldn't want to push my luck. ;-)
Thanks Bill.

You're welcome. I'm just sorry I couldn't respond positively. The LX was the better looking car, IMHO. I guess everyone went for the GT because it was the top model available. Someday I'm going to have to get all these Fox Mustangs around here built. I may try the production line method again. The last time I tried that it got derailed because of cold weather.
