Maisto 2015 Mustang GT

So I've been trying to get back into building models again by starting off with simple pre-finished kits, or kits with few parts. I needed some inspiration. The last couple of years all I have built were Revell's snap kits, a couple of old Lincoln Mint diecast Harleys, and one old AMT annual. This kind of falls in line with the Lincoln Mint diecast, but it may be too simple. It was designed for kids in mind. It comes with two sets of wheels (chrome and black) and they are meant to be interchangeable. The detail in this kit is minimal but it's not the worst for what is essentially a toy. Most of the details are tampo? printed and others are stickers or mylar. I did some simple paint detailing to add to it. The car could use some brakes behind the wheels. My next project is a Revell snap kit and to finish a Moebius Chrysler 300 I started four years ago.

That looks really good for what is supposedly a toy.  Die-casts have become increasingly good in the quality of their details - both interior and underhood, both of which are plastic pieces.  If not for the clunky hinges, that could pass for a good plastic kit.

It is amazing at what gets released in die-cast as compared to plastic kits (either snap or glue).  Where else can you get a current year Rolls Royce Phantom or BMW M6?
