I've always hoped that if I could find one, I'd try to correct the nose and taillight area to 70 specs. Looks to me like Palmer actually got the body proportions right, they just got lost on the front details. I think that Monogram parts could fix it. No the PSM kit was a one off. It has nothing in common with the AMT or MPC kits. Testors got the molds to a 69/73 hybrid thing that I think was another Palmer kit.

They wouldn't have to touch the body tool if they did it that way. If they did that they should just redo the whole chassis. It’s just bad and needs the correct dual exhaust and oval mufflers, Nine inch rear end, rear shocks, a rear ant-sway bar, and a better front suspension. The “inset” would need brake booster and master cylinder, shock tower braces, and a correct ram-air air cleaner and under hood plenum for an all new 351C and/or 429CJ. But that will never happen.

I'll try looking for both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The designers did a great job. It looks much better than the Pinto-Stang that came out for '74 IMO. IIRC, the design was approved by Semon "Bunkie" Knudsen with input from Larry Shinoda, who both had come from GM and were both fired soon after this.

vamach1 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Interesting to go back ad read these post when at the time the Revell Boss 351 and Mach1 kits had not been announced yet. I hope some of the USA distributors of Revell of Germany get the 007 Mustang by the end of this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
