Why this kit matters
The XY Ford UTE is an iconic part of Australian automotive culture. The XY Falcon Ute, produced from 1970–72 by Ford Australia, offered the 351 ci Cleveland V8 and has become a valued classic among muscle car fans.
This model kit recreates that heritage in scale form, ready for customization and display. The “Slammed” look and full engine detail make it ideal for modellers who love street machine style. It bridges the gap between stock classic and showcase custom build, offering both authenticity and personality.
How to use it
Start by cutting the sprues and cleaning up parts. Since paint and glue are required, begin by painting the body colour, engine bay, interior and chassis. Assemble major sub-assemblies—engine, interior tub, chassis—then attach them together. Finalise by fitting the body and adding wheels and accessories. Once complete, display your model on a shelf or in a showcase to admire the lowered stance and detailed engine bay.
This is a plastic model kit. Assembly, paint, and glue are required. It is not a toy.
