Jump to 6:28 for the lone model release.

'97 Mustang Cobra reissue.

 

[carnut]

It might be a good kit to pick up for parts on the 40% off, but otherwise - my money is safe.

[Rob Hall]

There is also the ‘66 Shelby and ‘68 El Camino this month.

You mean, That's it!!!

A single build version kit with no options, with a retail near 40.00 bucks? No Alternative Wheels, or Engine parts. I did not know 1990's Mustang Cobras are That popular.....

But, I'll be the first to admit that I am out of touch on some modern trends. I just don't see this moving well. Hopefully I am wrong.

The Elco Street machine was announced for release in May and the Shelby in June.

They aren’t out yet.  The videos are always off a month or two.

If this is a straight reissue of this kit, the box art is a bit misleading because the wheel diameter on the originally released kits of this and the GT versions I have are way too small. They make the finished build look more like the base V6 model but otherwise overall they’re pretty good. I think the Monogram versions were better executed. Onward with the 90’s nostalgia!

I built the Revell SN-95 kits back in the day, but never the AMT ones.  Might get one and change the wheels and tires.

LOL. John, we have seen your photo and I do not believe that a mullet is possible. Great play on words however, thanks for the chuckle.

I once had a mullet…about 35 years ago before I started going bald.

Only One Model Car 

[slusher]

Diecast show  and one model car a bad disappointment…

[Beans]

Having just completed Revell's version ('99) I don't know that the mustang shelf needs a '97.  Decals look nice though.

[Luc Janssens]

I have both the Amt and Revell kits, one thing which is odd on the amt kit is how the did the chrome headlamp buckets, that said their execution of the taillamps IMHO is better than Revell's.
