Revell’s 1959 Ford Skyliner kit (SSP #85-7162) is a reissue of the original multi-piece bodied kit issued back when dinosaurs ruled the earth…the same year I was born. It was innovative at the time in the fact that it included a fully-functional retractable “hardtop”, which was a first in model kits when initially introduced.<\/p>\n

For the modeler – Although the tooling is quite dated, there is a noticeable lack of “flash” on the majority of the parts in this kit, which I found rather refreshing. It is definitely not for the inexperienced builder, hence the Skill Level 3 classification. Sequence alterations and assembly tricks shown in the review will help make this kit easier to build into a trophy winner. Additionally, I like the fact Revell has given this dated kit a “facelift” of sorts, including whitewall tires and extra decals. An experienced modeler can also deviate from the instruction sheet with no repercussions, as I did…and sometimes it was necessary to do so to achieve the best result.<\/p>\n
