MSRP: $24.95 Website: www.revell.com The Kit The kit consists of 187 pieces and one decal sheet. The main body was one piece and all the chrome parts were in excellent condition (no flashing). This Model was a dream to put together and assembly steps were easy to follow. The Build Well I started with the motor, well because that is what the instructions said to do. I first built the Coupe engine, but after I built it and got it all ready, I went on line and looked at some more pics of the real car. I then decided I like the Highboy engine better, so I built it instead. I added some plug wires and a makeshift distributor cap. Most of the motor was chrome. The transmission was molded in white, so I did a mixture of steel and brass. This came out pretty good. So by now I decided I would build the Coupe version, instead of the Highboy. I like the fenders on the coupe. I decided on the paint color I would use. The nice thing about this kit is there were lots of options on building so changing your mind is easy. I decided on using Testor's One Coat Lacquers Purple-Licious & Mystic Emerald. I did the interior in the emerald and purple with some black. I used one of the decals on the trunk lid. I made my own dragon decals, they turned out pretty good. I masked off the front fenders and made emerald flames. All in all, the model went together fine. I really enjoyed building this kit. Thanks to Revell for the review sample and to IPMS for letting me write this review.
