Tom Geiger Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) Something I read in another thread today got me thinking about snap kits... I remember now, it was about the Lindberg Dakota kit, and how nice it was "for a snap kit". Well, we've all done a snapper or two and have had fun with them. So let's post some... Johan 1962 Studebaker Lark Convertible Revell 1963 Corvette AMT 1973 Barracuda - Still need to finish this one! Fastback concept car. And a pair of Lindberg Dodge Grand Caravans. These are further along than this photo. So post some fun snap kits! It doesn't matter if you just painted and assembled them, modified them severely or used them as a basis for a detailed build!

Russell C Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Late '80s build on this one, the old 1/32 scale Revell VW pickup which I shortened up to be a GTI version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenGuthmiller Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Would the "Junior Craftsman" kits of old be considered a snap kit? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 In all the years I've been at this, I've never built a snap kit. I got into glue kits as a kid (loved those fumes!. )... never even considered a snap kit. My loss, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Revell Build and Play '15 Mustang GT with paint and a few minor tweaks. A couple of the Revell '97 Ford Expedition SSV kits in fire and police livery... Lindberg Crown Vic with Modelhaus wheels and hubcaps. And the Revell Build and Play CV. And this one is a little further along than in this pic, but it's a Revell Caprice which will be built as Michigan Motor Carrier car.

Brett Barrow Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) Still the last car I finished and that was several years ago! Need to concentrate and finish something! Edited June 3, 2015 by Brett Barrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyboy Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 My daughter's Snap-tite Enzo (father/daughter build) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 And I actually forgot about this one! Concept Camaro built for my club's same kit contest. I thought it would be fun to do the retro thing on it. Color is a 1971 Chevy color. The snapper was the perfect canvas for that idea! All I had to concentrate on was the body and interior... no engine or chassis to drag the project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxer Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I'm enjoying this topic seeing what snaps are/were available .. two grandsons getting ready for some building .. I hope. Might need a Mario Racing snap kit to pry then from their racing seats though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonioseven Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I covered the lens holes with Bare Metal Foil to give a more realistic appearance. I used MV lenses for this 'Cuda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
