Buy This Kit

In 1959 Ed “Big Daddy” Roth set the automotive world on its ear when he produced “The Outlaw”. Using a custom built frame and a ’49 Cadillac V-8, he fabricated a “cool” looking hot rod using a technological breakthrough product known as – fiberglass.

This Revell kit is rated as a Skill Level 2 experience.  This is probably understated and should be a Skill Level 3 kit. It needs a steady hand and some patience. In the full review we detail the assembly issues and how to fix any kit problems that you’ll encounter. There are a lot of great ways to detail this kit and it’s pretty cool looking when it’s all done. 

The original 1959 Outlaw is an automotive styling icon and can still be seen at the Petersen Automotive Museum in California. Photo by Jessica.
