Keeler's Kustoms Skorpion Gasser

Another kit to love! Other than the kit's decals, this is a direct copy of the Revell Miss Funny Car, originally released in 1967, with a Revell Parts Paks Pontiac 421 engine added as part of the Keeler's Kustoms' series 2 engines in each kit policy. I am so happy to see the original supercharged Chrysler Fire Power 392 Hemi engine included in this kit! The original Miss Deal kit contents are molded in red styrene, which, as may be viewed by some as a desirable no paint needed option, I'd rather see the entire kit, except the Chrome Tree, of course, molded in white styrene. Most of us would paint different components and subassemblies different colors as part of our detailing, anyway. Occasionally, red is a hard color to paint over as it tends to bleed through primer, etc. The Pontiac 421 trees are molded in white. I'm not a big fan of Atlantis's car name motifs, Skorpion, a venomous bug, in this case, Yellow Fever with wild mosquito graphics in the Fiat Gasser kit, but it has not deterred me from stocking up on these kits for multiple build versions as well as kit bash parts. In the case of the Skorpion '63 Studebaker Gasser, I will build a couple of different versions with aftermarket decals for the car names and will use the engine, wheels and tires on additional Atlantis / Revell kits. I highly recommend this kit for experienced modelers, especially kit bash freaks like me!
