AMT 72 CHEVELLE SS QUESTION........
AC Norton posted a topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
general question for the AMT 72 CHEVELLE SS kit.....just got this kit, its stock no. is 31933, red built car on box, tan and gold checkers on box art....I have built a couple of 1970s issues 72 Chevelles of AMTs back many years ago,,,,and I notice something strange with this issue.....the chrome back bumper has the rear splash pan molded under the bumper,,,,,,,yet the kit also supplies the gray plastic, separate splash pan like the kits I built years ago.... so, asking our forum members that have built this more recent issue,,,,do I trim off the pan molded on the bumper....and then paint body color and install the gray plastic one as I did in the 70s issues,,,or,,, mask off and spray body color the chrome attached unit under the bumper I mentioned above.......I know that both AMT and MPC made many versions of 72 chevelles thru the decades, so I am left wondering if this newer kit is a combo of all the old parts and such grouped together,,,, and what you folks think the tried and true approach would be to solve this hang up....I thank you in advance on your thoughts, boys...........the Ace.........
