Motorized Mustang

[Falcon Ranchero]

Pretty sure it's a '68. Another Palmer Plastics kit my dad picked up in the '90s. This kit is from 1972. Originally molded in light green, I wanted to make it similar to the box art, and so orange it became. Neat how in '72 you could get a motorized kit for $2.98. I built this a while ago, and I must say it is the most unusual kit i have; not only because the molding looks quirky, but because it's motorized and actually goes. It was funny reading the instructions because they want these 7 year old kids to get out their sautering kits and melt some wires together. Different time back then I guess. Anyway, this kit was interesting.

Cool Mustang.

Holy smokes a Palmer kit! It’s a mind blowing time warp, they have a character all their own and I like it, thanks for sharing ?

For an old Palmer kit it turned out quite nice, well done Nathan.

That one isn't half bad for a Palmer kit

Came out great. Love the quirky Palmer kits. I have a built Corvair coupe. An unbuild 65 impala in a new perfect box. A Falcon coupe and convertible. A built Thunderbird. And some Tempest parts.

That Corvair is real neat. If it wasn’t for the kits I have, I would have never knew Palmer Plastics existed; seems it’s not everyday you come across one.
