This
is an AMT 1/16 scale 1965
/ 1966 Ford Mustang kit. It is a fair kit, but there were
a few things I did not like about it. It comes with two kinds
of tires, an old style bias-ply tire looking set and a more
modern performance tire set.
The
nice cragar rims are sized wrong for the front, so they only
will fit the bias ply tire. This means you have to mismatch
the tires, which is ok if you go for the street drag racing
stance that I did.
The
rear comes with a choice of leaf springs , stock or the ones
I used to raise the rear slightly for that aggressive (though
a bit redneck) stance. The engine is detailed some. Another
downside for this kit is is has a metal axle that goes right
through the engine.
The
kit comes with an optional Cobra style air cleaner and valve
covers, which I used. The hood is removable, and the doors
open (I glued them shut). This kit had good chrome, especially
on the wheels. |
