So you're the reason I can't find this kit! I had a Blue '80 RS with a 5.0 in it, and found one kit (A buddy from Germany sent it to me) and had to get the missing parts from a '79 Mustang kit. This kit is not the easiest to find, how'd you get so many of it?

checking ebay weekly searching for "capri rs" model kit, or just mercury capri model kits, got lucky and never paid more than 20$ for any of them, on was already built up i'm going to rebuild..... these kits are too simple, yet with just a few parts from the mpc model mustang kits you can make one radical cat! MEOW! you are right the capri kitss are pretty hard to get just keep trying on e-bay

I did have a spare, but I traded it off for 2 kits here on mcm it was veiwed as rare enough for a 2-for 1 trade lol

the mustang kits are the same "capri" body with the flares all you need to do is search for the capri front and rear clips, there was a black custom mustang on the boxart that was a mishmosh of all these kits it had the capri tail lights/ rear, it had the mclaren looking front end, custom hood, that one is pretty hard to get as well would make a good canidate to try and start maming a capri from

if it gets to be too long before starting that "white lightning version i may see what you have to trade lol
