Saw this at the hobby shop and thought it was pretty impressive for an official C3-approved piece of merch -- especially in the choice of decals (even if it doesn't come with beer kegs!).

It appears, however, that at least one serious model builder wasn't too impressed (see below):



1/25 Scale 1940 The Three Stooges Ford Sedan Delivery Plastic Model Kit from AMT.
Highly detailed plastic pieces molded in white and clear. Chrome plated parts.
Optional parts include custom rims, overhead valve or supercharge V-8 engine,
Custom steering wheel, tachometer, custom bumper and more.
Full color Three Stooges decals to decorate your model with classic Stooges gags like
"Hook, Line & Sinker", "Brighto", "Dewey Cheatem & Howe", "Zero Ice Company" and "Cut Throat Drug Store".

Good features and lacking details By Mr. Mike October 26, 2013
A very inconsistent model. The molding is decent mostly, the detail is acceptable overall. The selection of parts and the detail of their implementation is lacking however. For example, there is an option to install an Olds motor, blown or carbonated. There are no radiator hoses provided for this motor nor are there any exhaust manifolds for this motor in a street version. These are not shown in the instructions either. There are other things like that too. Just throwing in some optional parts in the box does not a complete model make. Too bad as it really doesn't look too bad from a distance. Not a great build for us detail oriented types.

("Really doesn't look too bad from a distance" -- wasn't that the first line on Shemp's bio when he tried to break into Hollywood? Of course, the real question is... would you buy a used -- or new -- car from the Three Stooges??? I'm 'vernon' you, look closely for 'dent's!)

I've got that too - Gentlemen, STOOGE your engines!
If there's no other place around the place, I reckon this must be the place, I reckon.

...AND speaking of Stooge merchandise, you haven't lived until you've 'Gone DIRECTLY To Jail' Stooge style!



It's a blast!
