#462058 Yee-haarr! My first Maisto in a quarter century.

And a huge miss in my modest US car collection.

Decent mold, detailing, stance.
Not bad for 38 Euros in today's sealed times with so many mistakes and shortcuts on new molds.



Not the movie car, the better.
Prefer the fixed rooftops, and the lack of CB antenna, rebel plate and such.







Had no idea the black mullet mobile had metallic paint.
Sunshine overexaggerates the flakes, they are super fine.
Classic Maisto orange peel, though.



Front wheels a bit wobbly, one needs to position them.
Shutlines surprisingly good, not the rounded edges that kill so many Maistos.
Not that the real Bird was a shutline marvel.







Lack of light seperation is odd and stupid, an easy and quick sharpie fix though.



Yay, diecast all-open. A bit of paint could do wonders underneath the bonnet.



The chicken, printed-on as in the heydays of diecast.





No golden or silver spokes?















Thanks for tuning in.
