Review
As far as I know, this Cobra R kit and the Convertible are the only current generation Mustang produced in 1/24 scale. The kit is just like Mazda RX-7 kit, which has upper engine details, but no separate oil pan, drive shaft etc.  This kit was reviewed in SAE a while ago, and it was quite complete, so I have a little to say here.  Molds are sharp, the wheels and tires look nice, and clear parts are thin, even and smooth.  Although the engine details are a little bit over simplified compared to American kits, it'll be As mentioned in SAE, I'll correct minor inaccuracies, and make it a fully detailed factory stock model.

I'm wondering what color I should choose.   Although Cobra-R was available only in white, white car model doesn't stand out very well.  Since the real car was almost like a custom made for enthusiasts, I should be able to choose any color.  Or, I can paint it white and add pearl coat or something to make it appear somewhat different.

Anyway, I'll definitely enjoy making this kit.
