The Moebius Models 1223 kit (produced in collaboration with Model King) immortalizes a unique slice of drag racing history: Arnie "The Farmer" Beswick's 1965 Mercury Comet Cyclone A/FX. While Beswick is legendary for his lifelong devotion to racing Pontiacs, he briefly piloted this ferocious factory-backed Mercury Comet during the peak of the mid-60s Factory Experimental wars.
This highly sought-after 1/25 scale "Encore" reissue features modern, crisp toolings that deliver precise parts alignment and eliminate the frustrating mold flash common in older vintage drag racing kits.
Monster 427 SOHC Engine: Includes a beautifully detailed, multi-piece replica of the ultimate Ford powerhouse—the 427 cubic-inch Single Overhead Cam (SOHC) "Cammer" V8 engine, fully outfitted with competition-spec induction and exhaust setups.
Radical Dual Snorkel Hood: Replicates the distinct, aggressively styled front hood fitted with massive dual snorkel fresh-air intakes to channel maximum air directly to the scale engine block.
Stripped-Down A/FX Racing Cabin: Features a spartan, track-oriented interior setup complete with a rear seat delete, lightweight racing bucket seats, a precise floor-mounted Hurst shifter, auxiliary gauge pods, and a multi-part structural roll bar.
Authentic Drag Strip Stance: Packed with brilliantly plated Cragar S/S Mag wheels for the front track and wide, soft-compound rear drag slicks to capture that classic nose-down gasser profile.
Arnie Beswick Decal Package: Includes an extensive, premium water-slide decal sheet that perfectly replicates the historic "The Comet" livery, race numbers, and period-correct sponsor graphics.
