This is a skill level 2, 1:25 scale, AMT Don Garlits Wynn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Jammer Top Fuel Front Engine Dragster model kit. It includes over 85 parts molded in gray, chrome, body molded in clear, and waterslide decals.\u00c2\u00a0 The direction sheet for the build is very clear and states color choices for the parts.\u00c2\u00a0 The rear tires have the winged Goodyear molded in, the front tires are molded in gray plastic with Pirelli molded in. AMT gave this a 2 rating (for intermediate builders) but in my opinion this kits is tougher than that and might be considered a 3 (experienced builder).\u00c2\u00a0 You always need to be looking at what comes next.\u00c2\u00a0 This build took approximately 45 hours (If it had been painted it would have taken a little longer).
