The real parts are cast in one piece as these parts should be.<\/p>\n<p>2) The body is well-moulded, no pin marks, no ejector pin marks, no flash and appear to be accurate based on inspections and reviews by my local Ford dealership.<\/p>\n<p>3) The kit is set up in modules that will allow the modeler to keep track of progress-the instructions are clear, well-detailed and have hints and tips included to aid construction. The modules are front and rear suspensions, chassis, engine\/transmission, body and interior.<\/p>\n<p>4) 120 parts seem too much for the average modeler, especially the young modelers we are trying to interest in the hobby. However, I personally accept this for the sake of accuracy.<\/p>\n<p>Overall impression, a good kit for the modeler on a budget, excellent subject material and look forward to more kits out of Revell-Monogram. I will keep all updated as construction progresses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Review by Hugh J.
