I’ve always loved this model, but there are a few things that just don’t seem to be right with it for instance, the mirrors on the doors what the hell were they thinking when they mounted them that way? And if I’m not mistaken, cause I don’t have the model anymore it seems like the tires were pushed out way too far into the wheel wells. Well at least someone gave us a model of that Mustang as opposed to no one else. And at least all the stripes on the red one I had all matched up and were in line !!

Great shot of one of my favorites. It was first released with a red version. I asked for the Yellow version at Christmas. I got the red one. I exchanged it at ToyRus for the yellow version.
