You get the Bugaboo! This kit is a reissue of the original, but Round 2 has added some new decals as well as blue tinted windows [both pictured above]. It is a skill 2 and at around 80 pieces molded in white plastic. it is fairly detailed plus the parts show little sign of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153flash\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. With patience this kit builds very well.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Overview:<\/b> The motor at 19 pieces is very detailed and builds well. However I would advise assembling the <a title=\"Bugaboo Cover by dougcole2000, on Flickr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/29474631@N04\/13534960185\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" alt=\"Bugaboo Cover\" src=\"https:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3685\/13534960185_747e0079a2_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"163\" \/><\/a> headers [each side is 5 pieces] and letting the glue thoroughly dry before attaching them. I also used a small rubber band to hold them in place [to the motor] while the glue set up. The multi piece chassis builds easily and goes together with no issues. The tires and wheels are nicely done, but I would suggest sanding the rear tires to add a touch of realism. The body itself is well done and needed almost no prep [very small flash removal needed around front\/rear window openings] before painting. If I had to rate this kit I would recommend it could be done by any builder as long as they are patient and careful and I would give it 8 out of 10 stars. It is a fun kit to build and I would definitely build it again. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Right On Replicas, LLC \u00c2\u00a92014 All rights reserved. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">*All registered trademarks are the property of their respective brands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a SnapShot review by Will Emerson of the Bugaboo Volkswagen Dragster 1:25 Scale AMT Model Kit #AMT859 for Right On Replicas, LLC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[2504,2502,2503,2501,2500,1124,1879,39,210,1769],"class_list":["post-4934","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-kit-reviews","tag-859-review","tag-amt-model-kit-amt859-review","tag-amt859-review","tag-bugaboo-model-kit","tag-bugaboo-volkswagen-dragster-125-scale-amt-model-kit-amt859-review","tag-doug-cole","tag-dragster-model-kit-review","tag-right-on-replicas","tag-ror","tag-scale-model-kit-review"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4934","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4934"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4934\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4935,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4934\/revisions\/4935"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4934"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4934"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4934"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
