Like
-  Decent black exterior colour
- Logo and model name stampings:

  • Ford blue oval on the bonnet / hood
  • 5.0 printed on both the front fenders, representing the engine capacity in Litres (the V8 was earlier popularly called the 302 – it’s capacity in cubic inches
  • ‘MUSTANG’ printed on a blacked-out part of the plastic quarter-glass window just behind the B-pillar 
  •  Ford blue oval printed on the right side of boot-lid
- The lower half of the car is made from plastic or painted to look like plastic cladding (like in the real car) – looks very realistic!
- Clear plastic headlights with orange hue parking lights (not indicators as I initially mistook) & red colour plastic tail-lights with a painted white strip for the reverse lights
- Special mention needs to be made for the round fog-lights on the lower part of the front bumper these fog lights are also made of clear plastic and not painted, like in most smaller scale models
- Other details include wipers, inside & outside rear-view mirrors & fuel lid marking
- Realistic bulge on the bonnet / hood
- Proper, nicely detailed fastback spoiler with red-painted stop lights
- Number plate at the rear with the letters ‘BB’ (Black Bandit) printed
- Rubber tyres with treads on multi-spoke turbine style matt black rims
- Opening bonnet revealing a neat little engine bay with mechanicals including clearly visible engine, radiator fan cowl, battery and the front strut cover as well
- Although the exhaust is clearly marked on the under-carriage, it is not visible from the rear
- Matt black painted metal chassis with unique serial number stamped with raised details such as drive-train, suspensions and exhausts components

Could be better
Nothing really!
