How is the AMT 1/16 Corvette kit?

We need to get started on a new model for my daughter's 4-H project due in July. I'd love to get started now, so we don't have the last minute crunch like we do most years.

While I'd love to help her build a rusty junker, I keep seeing the MPC '57 Corvette in 1/16 at attractive prices. Maybe we could build a rusty chassis and a weathered, barn kept body.

Overall, we enjoyed the AMT '64 Mustang 1/16.

Is the MPC '57 Vette a decent kit?

Is it comparable in quality to the AMT Mustang?

After dealing with both, The Corvette kit is WAY above the Mustang.
