MPC Firefighter Mustang II

[Chris guthro]

The fire fighter mustang is a pretty good kit...i got one for my birthday and i opened it and the slicks are a really nice tire...its got alot of flash and its molded in red...the ngine is a 351.i think...it has a hard time going together...parts are sorta small...all parts are red expet for some chrome..lots of cool decals..soon ill try and have pics on how mine turned out

kinda a short reveiew...my first one but oh well....

thanks chris; the firefighter is a re-issue of an older MPC kit and is a representation of Dyno Don Nicholson's ProStock car. in it's day this was a detailed kit! the suspension is very complete given that most kits from the '70's were on one piece chassis with MAYBE a half-mold rear axle.

take your time cleaning the flash away and detail painting and you'll be pleased with the resulting model; those big slicks look RIGHT for this kit!

WORST KIT I'VE DONE THE!! RED STYRENE IS A NIGHTMARE BUT BIN SEALED IT ( at least it's done)

I'm a bit surprised Round2 hasn't reissued this kit yet.

Wow, it got re-issued that long ago!?  I bought a few when Walmart was clearing out its kits.

That last reissue was before Round 2 entered the picture.  The body in that one is a mixed bag: hood opening was revised back to '74 spec but the grille is still the later one.  If I remember right, the gas filler detail is still '75-'78 (gas cap above the styling crease, '74 has it below).  Too, the rear wheel openings are rough as a cob.
