Yo, 'Stang -

No updates to this bad bitch?

One thing everyone who's working on this kit should watch out for: Testors bobbled the order of the belts, at least in the initial runs of this kit. There's a large, a medium, and a small belt. Testors tells you to use the medium belt as the flywheel drive belt for the electric motor in the base; the small belt, for the crank, alternator, and water pump; and the large belt, for a circuit around the alternator, power steering pump, and crank.

UH-UH.

You want it to look like a real hemi and actually work, here's whatcha gotta do:

LARGE BELT: Flywheel drive belt.

MEDIUM BELT: Alternator, crank, and water pump/fan pulley

SMALL BELT: crank and power steering pump ONLY.

Also, there's been some speculation about the firing order/ignition wire sequence Testors gives you, but the research a few other modelers and I have done indicates they are in fact correct.

The rest of the model goes together very well and works as advertised. I'd recommend it without reservation.

Cute signature by the way. I was in your camp once. But things look decidedly different from where I am now...
