70mach1 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 It's hard to believe this came out of an AMT box. This kit is very well engineered and detailed. Unusually high parts count and plenty of delicate pieces and some of the best chrome I have ever seen. Nice and smooth with no dirt at all. I was really impressed and it went together with no problems at all, but it needed a few scratch-built details. Refinished in DuPont lacquers; engine wired and plumbed; scratch built fuel pump and fuel filter, throttle and choke cable, generator, and distributor, and ignition coil. Scratch built interior door handles and window cranks, shifter, parking brake lever, trunk hold down straps and side lift handles. Very enjoyable, but time consuming build. Spent about a month doing it. I realllly like these old kits. I wish the old time engineers were still around; we need more kits like this.

sjordan2 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Is this a re-post? I seem to recall the teddy bear. In any case, I love to see these old-timers being built stock, and this is very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmvw guy Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Very nice build, I agree well engineered. Is this from the Conniisseur Classics series? The colors look perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1930fordpickup Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) This was an MPC kit from the start. That is why it is so nice for time it came from. Also this is a fine example of this car. Edited December 14, 2014 by 1930fordpickup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonehead23 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I never considered a stock one, but I had several of these kits including a delivery van...but I just could not build them stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Rick Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) Very clean job - nice color combo, I've seen way too many of these kits get hacked, with no consideration of style - it's a pleasure to see a stock one done up right - thanks Andy Edited December 17, 2014 by Krazy Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
