Revell 1:24 Kurtis Kraft Racer Model Kit Review

First, I want to thank Revell/Monogram for re-releasing this kit. This is a good model for beginners who want an old race car with steerable wheels. Concidering this was one of Monograms first models, it is actually pretty good. The detail is definately not you would expect for a model made today. I only wish that Revell would have updated the kit. I'm in the process of building this kit now.

This is a bare-bones kit. The "detailed" engine is comprised of two engine halves. Engine engraving is crisp, but the cylinder head/duel overhead valve cover needs to be reworked to be accurate. With some work, it can be made to be a really nice engine. The interior is bare, compared to today's models, containing only a seat, and steering wheel. There is no interior liner, no gas or brake pedals or shifter. The wheels and tires are cast together, so you cannot use different wheels or tires, unless you switch both. The body looks very nice, with only a few details missing (easy to fix). The hood is one piece, and opens from the left side, and not in the middle, as the real car does. The decals look ok, but doesn't really depict a particular car (it comes closest to Roger Ward's car).

Again let me say, that when this car was produced many years ago, this was a great kit. For a quick easy build, this is a nice car. If you are looking for something to give you a challenge, that will produce a really nice piece of history, it has a lot of potential with some work.
