Main things Revell should have fixed are the front axle and wheels...

In Response To: I've found that, even with the retooled chassis, the reissued 70's Revell funny car kits are still considerably more fiddly than the newly tooled Chitown Hustler and Hawaiian kits, which, IMHO, benefitted from lessons learned from Monogram's excellent 80's funny car kits. *NM* ()

The axle is barely adequate to hold up the assembled car out of the box. Forget about trying to use it under a resin body!
Front wheels are the worst representation of Cragar Super Tricks EVER. Some of the box art photos for the 1/25 scale kits were actually 1/16 scale kits built with the wires and hoses left off. The front wheels and tires are the giveaway: great in 1/16 scale, awful in 1/25!

Just built the Revell 2010 Chi Town Hustler & started the Revell 2011 Jungle Jim Vega, interesting how 2 kits have such different assembly formats, both AA/FC roughly from the same era, the Hustler seems to be an easier build...or is it just me.......lol. *NM*
