Not great. Its very square looking on the dimensions. Haven't actually built the kit so I can't comment on that.

Here is the original box art.

That kit I have a fondness for... It's a basic kit but does come with engine detail... I think I have all the different issues of the kit???

Again that kit is one of my childhood kits, so I kinda have a fondness for it

My closest Ollies is not that great: Dodge Viper, 32 Ford hot rod, 57 corvette and 64 1/2 Mustang That's it other than a Trainer bi-plane (pb-17) and ford tri-motor kits.... None of them followed me home!

East York, PA Ollie’s is STACKED! This store is much smaller than the others and usually only gets a couple cases of models so it’s interesting to see so many here. Those T-birds still have the old $12.99 price tags. The rest were $15.99. Be careful buying any of these from resellers online or in store - many of the boxes were missing plastic wrap (from the factory it seems), and there were no tape circles to seal the lids.

I decided against the Bel Air, and I already have most of these from the last batch. I did buy one Firebird today (despite not being a huge fan of custom-only kits) because I couldn’t leave empty handed!

I have a fondness for that 57 bel air hardtop monogram kit, one of my childhood kits.

The '57 Corvette and '56 T-Bird are very good kits, if you are open to 1/24 scale.  The '32 Ford roadster is actually what's left of the early Sixties Little Deuce kit, with a bunch of changes of course.  

The 1/32 scale semi trailers are puzzling...both Ollie's and Hobby Lobby carry these, but no trucks to go with them.

This is my version of the old 1/24 32 roadster........

I kinda want to get the 1969 Camaro kit.  I know they're WAY out of proportion, but I remember it being a nifty kit that builds up well.
