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

For the Modeler:<\/strong> This review covers the 2015 release of the Joey Logano #22 Shell Penzoil Ford Fusion 1:24 Scale Revell Model Kit #85-1473. This is kit #85-1473 in the current catalog and is rated as a Skill Level 2 kit for moderate builders aged 8 years and \"001\"<\/a> up. The build itself is a SnapTite Max kit with self-adhesive stickers. You get 35 parts molded in Gray and Black with a pre-painted body. The tires are Rubber and it has Metal axles. The glass is clear with the black window surrounds already printed on them. The body comes molded in bright yellow with red accents and has a full sheet of colorful stickers. This kit was designed to be a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153transition\u00e2\u20ac\u009d kit aimed at moving the novice builder into the glue together category but still allowing for a great looking product to display.\u00c2\u00a0 The instruction sheet is a very easy to follow fold-out eight page design in the the typical book format that Revell usually has. Overall dimensions are: Length: 8-3\/16″, Width: 3-1\/8″, Height: 2-3\/8″.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Overall: <\/strong>This is an enjoyable quick builder designed to be easy enough for youngsters to finish and look great when they are done. That helps bolster their confidence and keeps them interested in modeling.\u00c2\u00a0 The fact that it features one of NASCAR\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s big stars is another plus for trying to get youngsters into the hobby of building models and not just buying a diecast version.\u00c2\u00a0 This kit fits together extremely well and there is hardly any flash.\u00c2\u00a0 I did have to open up some of the square holes on the driver\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s safety net but that was all! There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s really not much you need to do to the kit to make it a great shelf model but there were a couple enhancements that could be made.\u00c2\u00a0 I used a black sharpie to color the safety net and highlight the wheel hubs and Lugnuts.\u00c2\u00a0 Just those simple things help the overall appearance but you could also pick out some highlights on the chassis for further detailing the molded-in features.<\/p>\n

\"002\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One noticeable omission from the kit is the lack of Goodyear logos on either the tires or wheel wells like the real vehicle and the kit could use some generic instrument panel gauges. I found that all of the snap tite connections were positive and worked well.\u00c2\u00a0 One place that the construction could use a dab of glue was on the rollbar and cage.\u00c2\u00a0 Those connections are really just posts and sockets and they won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really stay together on their own although they are trapped by the roof when the body is put into place.\u00c2\u00a0 Also, don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t look for stickers #27 & #37 called out on the instruction sheet for the rear spoiler they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been omitted from the sheet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re looking for a top-drawer easy builder and great looking display to help get your youngster into building models, this kit will not let you or the child down. The instructions call for an hour of build time but it might take small fingers a little longer to place all those stickers.<\/p>\n
