I wanted to post some observations about the McAllister 1969 Mustang body.

- 1 piece mold
- comes with overspray film
- comes with window masks that you will have to cut out
- come with grill/headlight mask that you will have to cut out
- molded in spoiler
- 200mm width

Overall I was pleased with this body. Here is a quick comparison to the Pegasus Mach Jet:

Window Masks
Yes - McAllister
No - Pegasus

Overspray Film
Yes - McAllister
No - Pegasus

Decals
No - McAllister
No - Pegasus

Spoiler
Yes - McAllister
No - Pegasus (okay, there is a very small spoiler)

Wheelbase
McAllister - 200mm front rear
Pegasus - a bit narrow in rear

After painting the body above, I weighed it on a food scale. It came in at 110grams. I was careful with masking the body to not get any extra paint from overspray. I have not reinforced the body yet, but based on my experience with the Pegasus, this body may not need it.
