Anyone building the Revell 1971 Mach 1 Mustang check this link out *NM* *LINK*
- Thanks!! That kit is on my 'to do' list when it comes out. *NM*
  - The 007 429 version is already out. But I wonder -
    - I believe the Boss 351 kit has a couple of unmentioned extra parts, which would point to there being different engines in each version. I can’t recall Revell cutting corners like that *NM*
    - One way to tell: pull your Revell Torino Cobra and compare the engine parts

        I did see a pic of the 429 model engine on another site and it looked darn good to these eyes. *NM*
        (slaps forehead) Bob Perkins is up in Wisconsin, would be a day trip from Chicagoland
    - I know AMT has an 007 Mustang kit out but I haven't heard about the Revell kit being out. *NM*
      - It is (or will be) in moments if not already. *NM*
        
        Just did some searching and found that the combo kit (includes some paint and other things) is out but the price is about twice the price of a normal kit. I'll wait. *NM*
        
        I can't find a 1971 Revell Mach I Mustang kit anywhere! Not even at Spotlight . Where did you find it? Email me , we should not post it on the board. *NM*
