1967 Pontiac GTO

Nice build, not a lot of excess molding fit together nicely some twisted parts, good detail on the interior, exhaust and suspension. Choice of engines, hoods and wheels.I like the 2 in 1 builds always have extra parts for the spare parts box.

Not very happy with this kit. I usually don't mind working through some minor issues with flash and/or fit but this one just was one problem after another. The body was the best part of the kit,everything else needed trimming, sanding or cutting. I fought my way through and got a decent display piece but was more work than I care to put into a basic kit.

This is an interesting kit to say the least. When I say interesting, I don't mean the subject matter as much as I mean the way the kit itself is manufactured. I am advised from other articles that I have read online that this was originally released as an annual kit back in the late 60's... I believe it as the kit does indeed seem to be a mixture of old and new parts. Specifically the body, chassis, and interior seem to be recently manufactured in China with fresh tooling... the mold is crisp and no flash. Interesting due to the fact that I had read in another online review that the body also had lots of flash when first released, which if this is true means it went through a revision during the latest production run. However it is also readily apparent that this mold was originally intended to be used for a die-cast body and chassis as the supports for the screws are still molded in. On the other hand, the sprues with all the other parts are pretty obviously old tooling that hasn't stood up very well over the years. Tremendous amounts of flash, details that look iffy and washed out in spots, and a fair amount of molding artifacts are present. Overall I feel that this kit should build into a relatively decent curbside kit, but to get anything more out of it is going to require a fair amount of effort. Definitely not a beginner's kit in my opinion.
