This was a difficult kit in my opinion. First of all, I did not understand the kit being molded in a light green color. This made painting of the parts far more difficult and required many coats to cover up the green color. Also all of the parts did not fit correctly and required a lot of trimming and sanding. I am not sure if I just got a bad kit or if this is standard for all AMT kits. I am not ready for another AMT kit anytime soon.

Got this model at the 40th anniversary of the mustang and was really exitited, but was let down when I opened the box and over a dozen parts were missing!!! The plastic wrap over the box was still on when I bought it so thank you for the bad models!!! If you are going to buy a model kit go revell there way better!!!

molded in Green . It was molded in color so the younger modeler's could build it with out having to use paint untill they have built up the skill's to do so . you will find some flash now & then some of the mold's need to be retooled a littel . That's ok it take's alot of money to just make one mold for a model . So having a littel flash here and there is no big deal that's part of the hobby is cleaning the part's sanding a littel here and there . If there are any model contestt in your area go to them talk with the people tthat have been building model's for yr's and they will share idea's to help you out . It's a hoby to have fun in I look at it now as making 3D art .
