The original kits came in these donut boxes. Here 2 pics of the box-art

Yet this generation Mustang as was the previous model is sold in Europe thru Ford Europe, while the 06-10 generation was not. While I prefer full detail, the kit itself looks pretty darn great as presented at the Nationals. Ps. Looks like both US as Euro license plates will be included.

Thanks for the update, James.

The fender pics come from National Part Depot. 67 70

IMHO the Tucker had its momentum at the time of the movie, but it's more of an automotive footnote, than something that set the world on fire, the Stude however an iconic vehicle opening the decade known as the fabulous fifties Also remember as a teen watching a German music program on TV called Formel Eins, where the Stude was prominently featured. Does this mean a kit of the Stude will sell like hot cakes? Dunno but IMHO it has a lot more going for it, than the Tucker, maybe Revell Germany should look at the numbers 😉 Cheers from over the big puddle called the Atlantic Ocean.

Maybe someone in the 3D printing world will come up with mirrors and the right footwear for this kit, provided that the kit itself isn't updated of course. Cheers

Would be neat to have, indeed.

Don't have this re-release, as it's not in regular distribution by Revell in Europe. So can't comment on this....maybe by checking out HPIguys youtube clip build of this kit, your question can be answered.

Sometimes in parts breakdown in general, not enough thought was given, into how to detail paint. Like molded-in everything in the front facia of a car, where separate grilles would make it so much easier to paint. IMHO, if you wish to make model building a pleasant experience, try to eliminate things that can cause frustration. Just my 2 cents 😉

There is some misconception here. Fewer parts don't necessarily mean a lot less detail. while lots of parts mean more. It's all about how you engineer a kit. One example; in some 90s designed kits, you have a two-piece dashboard assembly, to be able to have the upper heating/cooling/ventilation vent engraving. Now it's one piece, yet has the detail too. Form follows function. Cheers

Oops yes, the '69. But they all come with these turbine wheels?

Wasn't this kit also released under Amt's selected vintage subjects program? Seem to recall it had some great turbine wheels included.
