Ford FG-X Falcon and Mustang TRAX Model Car Reviews

 

Model car manufacturer Trax produces many iconic examples of the Australian cars we know and love.  Here's a short review of some of their latest releases. You can see the whole range at topgear.com.au. 

 

FG-X Falcon Sprint

The FG-X was the final curtain call in a long line of Falcons that started with the launch of the XK in 1960. Although heavily based on the ageing FG platform, the FG-X was a solid effort in terms of bringing the exterior styling up to date, with Ford's global corporate look out front and a Jaguar like tail light treatment out back. The most coveted of the FG-X models were the final Sprint derivatives and Trax has captured all the detail and proportions very well in its 1/43rd scale XR8 rendition.

FG-X XR6 Highway Patrol Falcon

It won't be too long before we see the last of any homegrown police cars on Australian roads, as they are progressively replaced by imports. Whether you are a police car fan, Ford fan or just nostalgic about the end of this period of Australian automotive history, you'll want to apprehend your sample of this 1/43rd scale XR6 interceptor fast. Detail level is excellent as you'd expect. The decals are particularly nicely done. 

 

 

Ford Mustang GT

This excellent 1/43rd scale model very accurately depicts the smash hit that is the Ford Mustang. With over 15,000 of the real ones sold so far in Australia, this Trax model is sure to be popular with the legion of Mustang fans out there. All of the proportions are faithfully reproduced and the high impact yellow will make it a stand out in your model cabinet. 

 

 

Ford Mustang Highway Patrol

A unique piece of Australian police car history is captured in this 143rd scale evaluation Ford Mustang Highway Patrol unit. Drawing on a rich history of Mustang police cars in the USA (released as SSP or Special Service Package) this Scale model depicts Ford's efforts in Australia to convince the boys and girls in blue to pony up and pursue in style.
