Polar lights ghostbusters ecto 1 model plus#

The equipment that festoons the exterior is provided as separate pieces, which makes painting so much easier. It's very well engineered: almost all the chrome parts attach to the sprues in spots where you have to scrape off the chrome anyway if you're going to glue them on, for instance. Molding is pretty good, with no flash or sinkholes (on my kit, anyway) and negligible mold seams. The major features of the vehicle are present, but it's a curbside model (no engine, no separate chassis) and the interior is pretty spartan. It's marketed as a Skill Level 1 Snap-together kit for ages 8 and up. Instructions and a sheet of stickers complete the package.
