Review and Photos by Doug Cole \"Doug\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At 50 years old the last solid axle version of the iconic Mustang is probably the best one ever made The GT version has always been the performance leader and it comes standard with a 420HP V8 with a six speed transmission. Looks like the Ford stable pulled out all the tricks they learned from the SVT group and created a refined and powerful muscle car worthy of its namesake.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the Modeler:<\/strong> This review covers the skill level 2 designed 2014 Mustang GT 1:25 Scale Revell Model Kit #85-4309. About the only reason this is a skill level 2 kit is because it requires glue for assembly. That this kit was spawned from a SnapTite model is evident. Even though glue is required in some places the positive placement points with posts and receivers mostly work without \"000b\"<\/a> it.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0Additionally, there is some paint recommended for this model to finish off details like engine parts and turns signals etc.\u00c2\u00a0 That probably explains the 3 hour assembly rating on the package. The kit is precisely molded in gray, black, and chrome plated parts with clear pre-installed windows, vinyl tires and transparent red taillights. \u00c2\u00a0There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s virtually no flash and the pre-finished paint is excellent. \u00c2\u00a0This is an exceptional kit for the novice builder. It assembles easily according to the instructions. Right out of the box, with a little liquid glue, it can be built in a half hour.\u00c2\u00a0 It then becomes a prideful shelf display or ready-to-play model. On the other hand, the kit is really loaded with detail and for the intermediate modeler it makes a great base for advanced techniques and detailing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As far as added detailing goes; this kit is ripe for the pick.\u00c2\u00a0 Even though the engine has but nine parts, the molded in detail is excellent.\u00c2\u00a0 Picking out those features with color and shades will give you a very detailed looking engine.\u00c2\u00a0 The good news is that although \"999\"<\/a> this kit is based on a snap version, the hood is opened on this release and the one-piece chassis is open to view the engine from top and bottom. With some parts stash decals and a little paint for accent, the dashboard will show off its\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 very detailed gauge section too. Same thing with the chassis, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s molded-in but has much more detail to pick out than most one-piece chassis do.\u00c2\u00a0 It also sports a separate front suspension to give viewing access to the engine from underneath. \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Finished dimensions are: Length: 7\u00c2\u00bc\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, Width: 3\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, Height: 2\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Overall; <\/strong>This is a great first kit for the novice builder moving into the realm of glue kits.\u00c2\u00a0 You won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t find a car kit that has this intent more clearly engineered than this one.\u00c2\u00a0 Although it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a simple kit it has great detail and room for optional work by the advanced builder. \u00c2\u00a0For accomplishing its mission in that regard, I give this kit 10 out of 10 stars!<\/p>\n
