Another kit to love! Other than the kit's decals, this is a direct copy of the Revell Miss Funny Car, originally released in 1967, with a Revell Parts Paks Pontiac 421 engine added as part of the Keeler's Kustoms' series 2 engines in each kit policy. I am so happy to see the original supercharged Chrysler Fire Power 392 Hemi engine included in this kit! The original Miss Deal kit contents are molded in red styrene, which, as may be viewed by some as a desirable no paint needed option, I'd rather see the entire kit, except the Chrome Tree, of course, molded in white styrene. Most of us would paint different components and subassemblies different colors as part of our detailing, anyway. Occasionally, red is a hard color to paint over as it tends to bleed through primer, etc. The Pontiac 421 trees are molded in white. I'm not a big fan of Atlantis's car name motifs, Skorpion, a venomous bug, in this case, Yellow Fever with wild mosquito graphics in the Fiat Gasser kit, but it has not deterred me from stocking up on these kits for multiple build versions as well as kit bash parts. In the case of the Skorpion '63 Studebaker Gasser, I will build a couple of different versions with aftermarket decals for the car names and will use the engine, wheels and tires on additional Atlantis / Revell kits. I highly recommend this kit for experienced modelers, especially kit bash freaks like me!

I did like the building of this kit because of the options for extra detailing and the two engine options. I chose the blown hemi. Now on to the con's that I worked through. The amount of flash was endless and very heavy on some trees, lots of scrapping! The headers you have to make, and that makes it quite the challenge to have all the pipes lined up correctly when glueing. The directions are very vague. In the directions, there is a templet for making your own windshield, as one is not provided in the kit. You have to have some flat clear plastic to make, that means no windshield. Frame is warped slightly, and the engine will not sit correctly in motor mounts.
