Hotrod 97 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) I found this in a box of old model cars that my Dad built in the early '90s. This is the 1989 release 1:43 scale AMT kit. It sure is a survivor - it's seen everything from bitter cold Winters sitting on a shelf in a garage, to sweltering hot Summers packed away in a box in an attic. The last pic includes a ruler to show how small it is. Edited August 11, 2019 by Hotrod 97 Added tag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vamach1 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Nice to see a 1/43 kit once in a while. Not sure when I built these - probably 10-25 years ago. There were many version but the best ones had the chrome parts. For some reason these are not cheap on Ebay compared to the 289 Cobra kit which is a lot better kit.

I agree - these kits sure hold their value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
