Iconic American ’60 muscle car<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is an awesome new kit from LEGO which is a replica from a 1960s Ford Mustang.<\/strong> What car lover did not have a poster on his wall as a kid of this awesome car? We will be reviewing the LEPIN Ford Mustang in this article!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Lepin<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The kit has an eye for detail <\/strong>like: 5-spoke rimes, cool racing stripes, doors that open, working steering wheel, adjustable ride height, trunk and hood which can be opened, etc, etc. In this review we will check out these cool details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LEPIN Ford Mustang 10265 Replica<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The official LEGO kit has 1471 pieces of pure fun and retails around $149.99 USD<\/strong>, or \u20ac119 if you are living in Europe. Which might still be expensive for allot of people on a tight budget<\/strong>. That’s where the Chinese market comes to the rescue. LEPIN sells the kit for around $46 USD or \u20ac41.<\/a> That’s a whopping $100 cheaper!<\/strong> Best bet is to buy the kit from Aliexpress<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building Report LEPIN Ford Mustang<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This report is divided in 6 parts\/chapters, which is the amount of chapters in which the kit is divided in the manual<\/a>. Below you can find links to every separate chapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part 1: Sorting the bags and building the base<\/a>
Part 2: Rear axle and engine<\/a>
Part 3: <\/a>Seats and doors<\/a>
Part 4: Windows and partial bodywork<\/a>
Part 5: Engine and hood area<\/a>
Part 6: Covers and wheels<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part 1: Sorting the bags and building the base<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The LEPIN Ford mustang is shipped without a retail box<\/strong> (you could get it with the original box if you contact the seller and pay more for shipping). In this case I did not pay extra and got it packaged in a simple plastic bag with all the parts wrapped in bubble wrap. All bags are numbered and makes sorting them per “chapter” very easy. The kit has only 6 parts<\/strong> so sorting is very quick and easy. Below you can see how the kit arrived:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Package<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Part 1 <\/strong>of the kit will be focusing on the “frame”<\/strong>. After part 1 we will have a completed base for the rest of the car. This part contains 3 bags and the stickers <\/strong>which we will use in the upcoming chapters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Part<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First impression when taking out the first few bricks: the bricks feel nice and good quality<\/strong>. It can be compared with the Millennium Falcon kit which I reviewed already. This review can be found here (click)<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below some pictures of the completed part 1 can be found. The base-frame is and front axle now ready:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
