clovis Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 We just completed a Minicrapft Model A for our daughter's 4-H entry this morning. I am getting tired of fighting the numerous problems of vintage kits. I am super seriously considering buying the new Revell Foose Camaro as her 4-H entry for next year. I'd love to have your review of this kit before I drop $55. How is the fitment of parts? How are the instructions? How is the finish of the parts? Is anyone experiencing problems with the plastic? Is it a good kit, overall? Is it pretty easy to get a nice looking model, if you try? Are there any pitfalls or problems that I should be aware of, before I buy the kit? THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!!!!!!! I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Barrow Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I haven't built it, but Dave Thibodeau did a full build review in the other magazine. He mentioned some flash, and there is a goof in the instructions regarding the parts used if using the Foose wheels. Do not use parts 87 or 91 and use part 24 on the rear axle. This may have been corrected in later printings of the instruction sheet. The body parts are now molded in white where older versions were orange. Rest of the kit is black.
