Casey Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 chaparral and lola t70 model kits by frog amt. does anyone have information or pictures of these kits and are they still available ? never heard of frog amt. thanks Bill Frog and Airfix are brands which are far more popular in Europe, so changing the brand name on the box from AMT, MPC, etc. to something more recognizable isn't that unusual. I suspect the two kits you mentioned are '60s era. Is this the FROG kit in question?: These are probably the original AMT kits?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Anderson Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Those were a short series of 1/24 scale curbside kits done in the 1960's (I believe first as slot car bodies--then as complete but fairly simple kits). AMT Corporation teamed up with the Frog model company out of the UK to share some tooling (or at least bagged model kit shots) back and forth, very much the way Airfix worked both directions with MPC-Craftmaster in the same time period.
