Review and Photos for Right On Replicas, LLC by Alan Mann

For the modeler: This review covers the re-released Squad Rod Nova 1:25 Scale AMT Model Kit #851 that has not been seen since the 80’s. This was originally MPC kit #1-0744 now in RETRO DELUXE boxing and under the MPC line as Kit #MPC851. This is a 1/25 scale kit rated as a Skill Level 2 for the moderate builder. This kit started life as an Annual Stock Nova, it then became the “Breakout” kit which gave it the hot rod parts, next came the police parts to create the Squad Rod kit. In the box you will get almost 125 parts molded in Black, Chrome, Clear, Clear Blue and Clear Red. There are Vinyl tires a metal axle and Waterslide decals. The instructions are typical fold out sheet from AMT/MPC. Detail is all over the board on this one. The motor has nice detail, you get Stock or Street options. The interior has shallow details and is poor. But the police options are nice. The chassis is very simplistic. The body has very crisp and clean moldings and the details on the body were good with only minor mold lines. Overall fit and finish was good. Dimensions are: Length: 8”, Width: 2-3/4”, Height:2-3/4”.
