I missed this first time around, but thanks to Atlantis I get my chance to build a piece of drag racing history... After looking this over & getting started on it I'm kinda glad that now is when I had the opportunity instead of when I was a kid... This gets 5 stars just for the cool factor & subject matter... For experienced builders....

FINALLY! The repressing of the Revell 1963 Mooneyes Dragster. Dean Moon was a Hot Rodding pioneer, as well as an astute business man. Mooneyes, under the direction of Chico, still exists in Santa Fe Springs, California today. This model was originally released in 1963 and 1965 as a double kit with the Revell Sanitary T Bucket Altered. I was hoping this double kit would be re-released by Atlantis, but it was not to be... BUT, the Dragmaster (Carlsbad, Ca.) frame can be kitbashed into MANY other mid-sixties famous dragsters, akin to the the Dragmaster Dart. I have a dozen of these kits in my stash for the purpose of kitbashing, and I think YOU should have a few, too! highly, highly, HIGHLY recommended!!!

I was excited to build my first kit form Atlantis, but that soon wore off. I'm probably in the minority but not a fan of the directions and the fact there are no real attachment guide pins for lining things up correctly. The cool factor is there and it does build into a very shelf worthy nostalgic dragster though. I would possibly purchase another just to give another shot.
