Howdy folks:
It's been a while, i.e. many, many years, since I've built a model car. So I picked up a 66 Mustang hardtop AMT model, with the goal of repoducing a model of the car I had as young man. I must admit I was some what disappointed with the detail of this particular model kit. For example the wire axle that is used to hold the wheels on, the big clear glass that stretches from front to back instead of glueing in the front and rear windows. It appears this model is a throw back to how I remember model being when I was building them as a kid.
So my question is, and perhaps this isn't the place to ask, how can one know find out the details of what is in the box without opening it? I vaguely remember a friend of mine building a 66 or 67 Mustang 350 and the under carriage was much better than the hardtop version. For instance the differential was seperate and needed to be glued in and not a molded part of under-carriage. Makes for much better detail.
Anyway, I've looked at some of the pictures of the builder's cars on this site and hope that I can build models of that quality some day. You guys are really good.
Regards,
Rico
