Hey Guys, I got this kit the other day, and thought i would do a review on it. I snagged this one from the LHS for 1/2 price, so i couldnt resist! its a 31 ford highboy roadster, by minicraft. as always minicraft make some really nice kits, and this one is looking pretty nice. first up is a preview of the instruction sheets......they are very clear and uncomplicated. heres a couple shots of them:    not bad huh? next up are the tires, they already have the whitewalls painted on them, but they could look alot better, the edges arent perfect, but if youre doing a rat rod wth the kit im sure they will look fine.  now the chrome trees, the parts looks pretty crisp and flash is minimal.    the body features opening doors, decklid/rumble seat, the hood is alos hinged as is the windshield........   the side panels for the hood actually have open louvers!! and they look pretty good, with minimal clean up they will be a very nice detail for this kit.  heres a couple shots of the rest of the trees.........     the glass looks very nice as well.........  alll in all i think it will build up into a very nice replica. of course you know mine will end up being a fenderless ratrod! the retail price on this thing is right around $35.00, well worth it, seein that most 1/24 kits are pushing the $20 dollar mark nowadays!!! thanks for reading, i hope this has been helpfull to you guys!
