HOW MANY COMPANIES MADE THE 1/24 1/25 1970 FASTBACK MUSTANG?

[ford lincoln mercury]

Hello ford people: New member here, I have a nice 1970 fastback mustang 1/25 scale, and no it's not made by MPC or AMT or monogram, or PALMER, I want to find out who made this kit, when you first see it it looks like a MPC,AMT,MONOGRAM. But the big diffrence is the grill, it has the 70 mustang fake scoops molded in with the grill, you know what I'm talking about the 2 fake scoops next to the headlights on both fenders, thats the biggest diffrence I can see, on the MPC and the AMT and the monogram these scoops are molded in the front fenders, I know you would like to see a picture of it, I'll try and get one on here, I know there's a lot of Mustang freaks out there that might know about this strang kit, like WHO MADE IT? Please reply thanks. Mike mobrien@kent.edu

Ken, ONLY AMT popped the 69/70 Mustangs in 1/25th scale. MPC's 69/70 Mustangs were underscale at 1/26th or 27th. Not till Revell came out with the 69 Cobra Jet Mach 1 Mustang a while ago, that theres been a 25th scale Mustang of that year.

I've never seen the Palmer kits of those years,so I can't vouch for them. Could you have the CUSTOM grille from the 70 AMT kit? it sounds kinda like it might be,from your description. A pic would be GREAT, as I have both a 69 and a 70 AMT Mustang in my stash, and I could check for you, just to make sure.

George,

Back in the day, Revell made a 1969 Mustang Grande (coupe) and I believe it was updated to the 1970 version before the body became a Funny Car in the early 1970's. It too, was 1:25 scale I think.

Mike, I'd hafta go with Steve on this one.Sounds like it just may be a Palmer kit.I've heard they did pop a 1 pc. body unit for the 70 kit, but, as I said I've never seen one. I'd take Steve's word on it, he does know his sh8t!
