Chris White Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 This is one of the first box stock kits I have done in while. This is the one that got me through my builder's slump. So I had some fun, purple testors one coat, and lots of BMF. As always bring on the critics, that why we do this, right??? Which kit do you guys prefer the AMT version here or Revell's version?

Scalper Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Nice build for getting out of a slump. nice and clean. bmf perfect, Paint smooth. critic? ok one. tires need to be sanded. Andre =. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Well, I had no idea this kit was so nice. Mini-tubs and a big block? Sweet. Critique? I'd have removed the place where the exhaust pipes meet in the middle, The seam is ............. unseemly. Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week. Also the red oxide from the chassis is odd to see in a wheel well. I'd have painted the chassis flat black or body color. All in all, I think you have a well built model there.

Steven Zimmerman Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 This is a great out of the box kit, and is a good example of a 'back halved ' car. Only thing that's not representative ( IMHO) are the cast iron exhaust manifolds, Should have had tubular headers. And while there IS a seam on the exhaust cross over, that pipe SHOULD BE THERE !....I'm planning on building this right out of the box, with the exception of flipping the front spindles.....'Z' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heinz74 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 it looks great..a 57 eats up a lot of BMF i guess... i myself will have to do the small scale once..i believe the Revell kits are better...but looking at yours ,i kinda wonder why? you get a free bottle of Jack with a Revell?,..cause i think AMT nailded it, i see no flaws in it Nice build!!
