Glad to see the kit. Nicely molded with very good body line detail. Good looking but basic Mopar interior, but that’s just the way it was. The big wheels and brakes are a great upgrade to this kit even though I chose not to use them. I have always thought that this big body style looks best in dark colors, that is why I chose dark steel metallic. Kit went together extremely easy, one of my issues was fitting the hood , it sat too low without air cleaner and too high with it. Will figure that out when I display it. All in all a great kit , I suggest getting a couple they seem to sell out quickly.

This is another old Monogram 1/24 scale kit, re-released with Fast and Furious options. The molding is excellent with minimal flash. The parts fit is excellent as well, there's just not a lot of them. There are the extra oversize wheels and tires and a lower front suspension piece for the F & F version included to build the box art. The decal sheet has the goldish F & F stripes, but no other color options which makes sense as Revell has this one marketed for that fanbase. It does still include factory style wheels and tires to build that way as well. Like pretty much all of the older Monogram 1/24 tooling, this is a dependably nice fitting kit that builds up nicely making it highly recommended in my book.

This is another fairly good kit by the new Revell. I'm pretty sure that it has something to do with the Fast and Furious franchise and their insistence on quality that speaks to the quality of the movies it's based on. Well, for the most part, the sprues have very little flash to be cleaned up by the modeler. And fortunately, whatever flash is there is not on shape-critical parts. You know, the ones that must mate up with other parts to provide a nice clean line? Getting a divot in one of these can be a royal pain in the you-know-where. Assembly is as usual for a Revell kit. However, that doesn't mean you'll have a museum piece when you get done. As I've come to realize lately, some of the wear on an older mold won't become apparent until you get to final assembly. In this case, the rear body panel is one of those critical parts that must be assembled at the very end, because you probably could not get the chassis installed if the body was completely assembled before painting. And that means you have a worn out panel mating up to a chromed bumper with only two 1/2 inch long tabs that are not much bigger than the thickness of the body panel. Considering the problem of simply gluing painted plastic to a very nicely chromed bumper might have you trembling with anxiety, and you would be warranted. This is one very tough installation, and it could easily lead to the rear end looking like a glue bomb hit it. Oh, and did I mention that the dual exhaust pipes must rest on the rear panel? Shame on me! I had to pry them up and use a toothpick wedged under them, to keep them out of my way while I was using both hands to get the panel into place, and getting it to hold there while the glue dried. So, if you want to buy this kit, keep in mind that the end might not justify the means. Hopefully, you can come up with a solution that doesn't involve rivers of plastic cement. If you can get beyond this, you should have a decent model to show off to your friends and family.
