    I built this one in 1976. A great kit of my favorite Mercedes . At $14,000 in 1974 it was not cheap but seemed like a value for the money. A doctor that I worked for had this car so I bought the kit to build a copy in scale.

    You must never have owned a Mustang 2. Only the Rack and pinion front end was borrowed from the Pinto and it migrated to the Fox body. The Mustang 2 was a much heavier car as you notice when you open the door.

    I think Round2 bet on the wrong horse using a MPC version. They should have modified the AMT Warren Tope Mustang back to stock.

    Round2 or Revell could sell the 1971 Boss 302. One still exists and is under restoration. Apparently Ford pulled the plug at the last second and had even built up a parts catalog for it

    Very nice work on one of my favorite Chevelles

    Normally I don't feel like advertising for Coke, but Coke machines are great dirama pieces. You can't go wrong with a 72 Chevy pickup. So, I'm also in for one as well.

    The annual AMT 1973 Mustang has a nice set of Stock decals.

    Never seen or heard of a the Palmer 1/25th Camaro ? I have the '72 Challenger also..a good start for a 1972-74 Challenger. Looks like it was ripped off from MPC. Palmer became Winneco and had a battle with the IRS over payroll taxes.

    You found a missing link. Obviously Lindberg scooped it up

    Most Palmer kits will Blow Your Mind, but not in the good way. The 1/25 kits worth finding are 1972 Dodge Challenger, 1970 Mustang(stay clear of the Palmer 1971 Mustang. It has a 71 front.71front end and a 70 rear. Pretty awful. I can say that as I have that kit

    I see the gap between the bumper and the rear quarter panel. I know everybody is up at arms against Revell for this but they are missing the forest through the trees. This kit is light years ahead of the AMT kit and a piece of evergreen styrene can fix the problem if done before painting. It's an awesome kit. I can only vision that the 1971 Mustang kit will be as good.

    Does the turbo come with this kit? Turbo Pintos were actually very fast. I rode in one back in the 1970s.

    Red tail lights deleted during AMT cost cutting days of the 1970s

    I have a resin '68 Coronet too; SMH I think. It's okay but not as crisp as an original MPC
  19. Bob Ellis
    The 68 El Camino is wider than the coupes. Pretty sure the bumpers won't swap.

    I can't say tooling is easier but multi-piece bodies can yield more accurate bodies as one piece bodies have angles letting the body release from the tool

    My brother had a 62 Impala convertible with a 250 hp 327. Your model looks great. One of the best Revells that I have seen built
  22. Bob Ellis
    I hope this kit has least a small bumper and correct grille.
