The 312 cubic inch, 245HP V8 Ford was a favorite against any Detroit brand. Ford reinvented the Custom 2 door with a longer wheel-base and lower stance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>For the Modeler:<\/b> This is a Revell skill level 3 Special Edition 2 in 1, \u00e2\u20ac\u212257 Ford Custom kit in 1\/25th scale.\u00c2\u00a0 Kit includes 129 pieces, molded in white, clear, clear red, and chrome. It Includes tires without brand logos (4) and rear racing slicks (2). The kit also includes great water slide decals with options for two different name designs, M&amp;H tire decals for the racing slicks, and white wall decals for the stock option.\u00c2\u00a0 The instruction sheet is laid out well with clear instructions for part placement location and lettered paint codes.\u00c2\u00a0 Options are given for factory stock or an altered racing package. This was a whole new kit for Revell, the first time the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dc57 Ford Custom has been released.\u00c2\u00a0 The tooling is amazing, very clean and zero flashing.\u00c2\u00a0 There are fine parts for fuel lines and many detailing upgrades that will make it look more realistic.\u00c2\u00a0 The plastic was a lot thinner and lighter in weight which made everything cleaner and crisper on the parts tree and on the body.\u00c2\u00a0 Overall, this was a very impressive kit.
