Irish Murphy Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Started this about a 2 months ago and wanted to gets photos posted before now but just never got around to it. I only get a few hours on the weekends to work on it so that’s why is slow going. Everyone who has build the old AMT kits knows certain areas leave a little to be desired. Some areas have decent detail where others have none. Fit is also not the best but overall it’s not too bad to build. I will be using PPP tires and wheels because the kits are just too skinny looking and the wheels are way too deep. Hopefully next week I can start on the body. Hope you enjoy! Started by removing the inner front fender wells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 When I did a lot of contest judging neatness was a major factor.....a messy high detailed model would loose out to a model that was super neat with basic added detail.......yours is what I looked for. Nice work. I was lucky enough to provide some input on this re-issue....happy to see it built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizard Racing Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I built one of these in the '70s and rebuilt it in 2016. I didn't know it was re-issued. It's a good basic kit with all the hard work of turning a street car into a racer done. A lot can be done with this kit. Yours looks good.
