DumpyDan Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 For me would likely be the 1939 Chevy Delivery and Coupe basically the same kit, Ā Loads of fun and so many possibilities this is the kit I would want a case of on a deserted island.Ā Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 If I were to look at my completed builds, it would be a tie between the Revell snapper 63 Corvette convertible and snapper 69 Camaro. I have built at least 4 of each one and for some reason I can crank those out like nothing but struggle to finish glue versions of the same vehicles!

gtx6970 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) Probably one of, if not my favorite kits to build. Goes together without a fuss.Ā Maybe not 100% accurate for the subject matter but it sure looks the part once finished. And thats comfort to me.

waynehulsey Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 There's a few. The AMT Cobra, 65 Ford Galaxie and one probably a surprise to most people knowing me basically as a rivet counting replica stock guy: the AMT Garlits dragster (bet I've build a dozen of those over the years) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Probably a surprise but mine would be a Cobra kit. Any Cobra kit. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogger44 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I guess I'd have to go with the Monogram/Revell '70 Mustang.Ā I've built 5 over the years and think there's at least two more currentlyĀ in the stash.Ā I'd throw in Revell's 68-69 Dart kits as well.

Richard Bartrop Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 It would probably have to be Jo-han's Cadillac V-16s.Ā A beautifully detailed kit of a beautiful subject, they go together painlessly and the speculators ignore them so they can be had for a reasonable sum.

Snake45 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Yes. AMT '63-'67 Corvettes. I'll build 'em new, I'll restore cleanly built originals, and I'll strip and completely rebuild glue bombs. I only have 5 or 6 finished, but I must have more than two dozen of the things (NOT counting NIB '63 reissues for parts--prolly have another dozen of those) awaiting Snakification, Ā with four or five under active construction at the moment.And the AMT '67-'68 Camaros. I've finished three and am getting in the mood to do another one very very soon.I'd also say the MPC (now AMT) '69 Camaro, but I just finished my fifth and probably last one of those. I don't think I'll be doing another one of THOSE. Five is enough. (Maybe.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey429 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 This is a fun question! I'd have to say hands down, AMT's '53 Ford F100. I've built three of my own, restored a couple built-ups, and have enough parts to make up at least another or three. I couldn't help myself and picked up another when the latest issue came out. It's sitting off to the side of the bench right now, being built as a Marmon-Herrington 4x4. A close second would be the Moebius Bumpside Fords. I just finished my first one, and dove right into another. This was a long overlooked subject matter, and many others have praised it and I can totally see why. And even though we're not in the truck section, I'll even say that the reissued California Hauler has won me over. I could never bring myself to pay what originals were going for, and Round 2 hit a home run bringing that one back. I'm getting ready to build my second one, with plans for at least two more.
