Monogram Tom the Mongoose McEwen dragster

[fordf-100]

This is the 1/24 scale Tom the Mongoose McEwen rear engine dragster. This is a pretty nice kit to build that I think really looks the part. Everything fit pretty well for the most part and went together really well! The part that gave me the most trouble were the molded fuel lines and plug wires, it would have been easier for me if they were a little more flexible! Although for the time this kit was originally brought out I imagine that was a pretty cool feature. Sorry for the poor quality pictures. All comments welcome!

Great build of a NHRA Legend

Nice build! If this is the 70's version of the kit those lines/wires are a pain to work with. I think the latest reissue had the revised the lines?

This is the newest release, I have never seen the original lines but these were pretty flexible but I still had a hard time with them.
