I am well underway building this kit. It is worth waiting for- probably the best midget race car kit ever. It appears to be very accurate, and the molding is excellent. There is flash if you look very hard, but it is maybe three or four mils wide and a mil thick. Particularly good on the chrome sprues, so the chrome parts look great.
Speaking of chrome, there are two completely different "chrome" appearances. First is the regular chrome look we are familiar with. Second is a new matt chrome, that represents parts that on the prototype would be raw aluminum castings, like rear axle center section and the alloy wheels.
The colors of the model on the box art are incorrect. The car can be built as one of two cars- Vic Edelbrock's #27 and a black #8 (no idea if the latter was a real car or not. The Edelbrock 27 is mainly cream and a lighter red, not really dark red and pearl white. There are a number of color photos of the restored car (now in Edelbrock company museum) that a Google image search brings up.
The molding is exquisite- as good as resin cast. The engine heads and intake manifold have the Edelbrock logo cast in, but you need a good magnifier to read them. Fit is excellent. Considering the quality the price is a real bargain.
That is the completed engine (plug wires and throttle linkage not in kit). Now working on body.
