Wouldn’t it have been fantastic to pull up to the oval track back in the mid-fifties with this package? Hitching your shiny black track burner to your trusty old Woody and heading out to the track would have been the highlight of your week back in the summer of ’54. RoR’s builders make this kit come alive with construction tips and scratch building suggestions for the Monogram 1948 Ford Woody.  There are 127 pieces molded in white, chrome and clear and plenty of advice on how to produce that important simulated wood finish.

For the modeler – an easy to follow direction sheet for this 1:25 scale level 2 kit is included. Painting was the toughest part of the whole thing, but the challenge made it enjoyable.  The level 2 rating was probably accurate, but it might be a little tough for a first time builder.  The directions are good but can be confusing if the builder hasn’t studied them thoroughly.  The trailer and car displayed with the Woody are from the Revell Kurtis Midget Racer and are sold separately. The trailer hitch assembly was from the Midget kit (it is not offered in the Woody kit) that Tony Gibson reviewed on March 2nd but a hitch can easily be made from scratch.
