slant6 Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 I only get about 1 in 10 of these right, but, Im going with real. I think I can see a dent in the hood when I zoom in.
Harry P. Posted July 9, 2010 Author Posted July 9, 2010 Final vote: 37 REAL, 20 MODEl. Almost 2 to 1 for REAL. Wow, I really fooled you this time! It's a MODEL! Yes, another one of those incredible scratchbuilt, ultra-expensive 1/8 models. Better luck next time!
Stang67 Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 There goes the old average! Speaking of 'old' where's my glasses?
Brett Barrow Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 Rainbow swirlies in the headlight covers: Etching in windows: I thought for sure this thing was real!!!!
horsepower Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 I went with model on this one because as hard as I looked, there was simply no lettering of any kind on the side walls of the tires, no manufacturer, model, directional arrows, nada, zip. This screamed model to me.

The only window etching I've ever seen in Revell kits is DECORATIVE etchings, not ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT safety glass info!
