If you are familiar with the history of the 60’s Gasser races, you will know that K.S. Pittman was one of the fiercest competitors out there.

For the Modeler:  This review is of the reissued Revell® 1941 Willys Drag Coupe (kit #85-4990) in 1:25 scale this time with K.S. Pittman decals. On first opening of the box, I was happily surprised to see two sets of grilles, one in plastic chrome and the other is photo-etch.  Felix details how to wire the motor, explains some instruction errors, decal omissions and application techniques, alternate body color choices, foiling the trim, engine color, specific flash removal, valve breather fortifications, and additional chute detailing are fully examined in the Step-by-Step review.

As this was my first ever Willys Drag Coupe model kit that I’ve built, I must say that it’s a great kit for the experienced builders and novice alike. All in all, this is an excellent model kit to build and an enjoyable experience. The instructions are clear and straight forward, with the minor exceptions I mentioned above. The parts goes together with no to very little issues. I would gladly recommend this kit to anyone that wants to build their first Gasser.
