It was on the bench with the black one. A minute ago I saw some pictures of the original. There is some more to do on the kit. I'm going on research first.
It could be that I got over to the Foose model kits. Could.

Looks like its only the black that is paint
But yes if that's how the kit is sold I would be disappointed

Exactly. The kit is basically molded in this green metallic plastics

Yes that what I thought
After looking at it I thought you got it cheap some place
After someone did a bad job like one of mine on it lol
Can't believe its sold like that

The quality control should have been better in the factory.

I am curios whether other kits of this one have the same issues.

I bought a couple of pre-decorated kits but none has such kind of problems.

But I don't care. If you compare the box art (or google after the original car) and the color of the plastic, it is not that bright. It should be painted anyway.

That is some pretty piss poor quality control on revels part. Love the the car , but the kit is a bit disappointing.

I've never seen a pre-painted kit before. I wonder what other brands are like? I guess they're marketed to first timers?

Yes Rod you will see things like that on low level kits
Like snap kits
I got a good quality porsche 911 gt1
Revell kit 07217
The kit has not got many parts in it
All parts are pre painted

But the foose kit is just beyond poor
To paint half the body
And the quality of what is paintined
Is on worse the a bad paint job

At least this kit can be stripped and still be a nice build
Just a bit more work then you would expect
But better then a few old kits that I got
Were there is much bigger problems
Old molds and poor molds in the first place

I want to make it clear:
I bought several pre painted kits (Corvette C7, Camaro LT1, Mustang GT, Foose C7, Dodge Challenger in orange and purple....) . They are all made by Revell. None of them have/had any issue with the paint either the pre-painted windows etc.

This is the first one with imperfections.
