pretty much it guess we take what they give us and find a better looking blower on our own.

Snap ! 1/32nd scale

and in the weird and unusual Old AMT 289 chassis and engine with a 427 style body.

In different scales 1/43 and 1/16 these are both very nice.

all the same inside save for decals, tires and wheels and maybe bumpers.

Stack 'em up.

Good point Dave.

Yeah.

Option "D" Option "E" Option "F"

Would any one of us except these flaws when purchasing a 1:1 vehicle ? I think not. I also feel this type acceptance is what divides the automotive modelers from the aircraft / armor modelers and the kits available to them and perhaps the perception that we "just build "TOY" cars." The first several pages of this thread opine of the engine choice, no big deal there, it is after all, as pointed out a few times , a "Hot Rod" , don't like it ? Swap it. The crux of the matter seems to be, as pointed out, again by several different people, and again "just their opinions" , that there are a few glaring errors in this "test shot" first the firewall.My question here (well several) is why would a real 1:1 builder try to simulate a real Model A firewall when so many are available? Why would Revell then foist it off on us? Next the "Deuce" roof insert on a Model A, on a 1:1 car again , a lot of extra work to what end? Now to the ? misshapen blower case I pointed out, show me a 1:1 example. That's what this type car is all about, power, sticking right up there, without a hood for everyone to see, let's get it right. As for the quote on confidence, knowing and not knowing, I would suggest this isn't about confidence nor knowing everything but perhaps just knowing of the subject we speak and not being able to speak, I'm afraid the beans have already been spilled and are on the table. Critical ? expressing or involving an analysis of the merits and faults of a work. Is there a problem here? Most here have voiced a hearty approval of this kit ,others have pointed out ways it may be improved.

"Same group" right Bruce ? Didn't think I'd catch it did you?

Don't drive it in the rain? Stunning, none the less.

OK, "C"

Option "A" Option "B" Option "C"

Too real !

this is the "To die for" version, pricey and 1/12th scale. But even it has it critiques. to wit after market wheels @ $125

Go to your nearest ACE Hardware and pull out their "o" ring drawer and take your pick.

No BIG deal, right ?

Might not get all the wheels and tires, but here's a really nice flathead four.
