'68 Mustang GT Fastback kit question

another quick kit question/verification.

I'm after a kit of the '68 Mustang GT Fastback.
At least that's what I think is...
I know that there are a lot of variations between '66 and '69 in the Mustang line up but to confirm, the car I'm after is the one with this absolutely gorgeous rear.

So far, I've only seen one kit (and some reboxes I think) which is the Revell.

Is this the only kit of this car?
If not, are the alternatives better or worse?

The Revell kit is pretty good. It is based upon a previous diecast, so the body isn't completely accurate in the sides (slightly flat, front/rear wheel openings seem to be off), but built up they look pretty good. The interior/engine/chassis are decent, fairly good plastic kit engineering there, but not state-of-the-art.

AMT makes/made a '67 Mustang that looks similar, it's a traditional full-detail kit designed/made in the roaring 90's, so detail is good. Worst issue is the fat tires and front track that is too wide.

Your example of the 1:1 will require some Magnum 500's that are not in either Mustang kit, more Mopar kits seem to have them.

This is one of the things I couldn't verify.
As far as I can tell, the '67 fastback has different rear lights, doesn't it?
As stupid as it seems, it's the three little lights that I like the look of compared to the "long bar" lights.

I haven't given the wheels much thought but looking at things, I think I do prefer the look of the wheels in the photo over what's in the kit.
I recall seeing them on a AMT Shelby 350 kit too.

Taillights are basically the same for 67 and 68, only the Shelby has the long horizontal taillights instead of the three-segment vertical lamps.

ahhh... I think that is where I have been confused.
I think I've only ever seen photos of the rear of AMT '67 Shelby GT350 kits but not the '67 Mustang GT Fastback.
I've also always thought they were the same body wise.


I think that answers all of my questions.
Thanks you.

i like this kit but the AMT is nicer
