slusher Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Not great box art. No Fast and Furious box art makes me wonder what decals it has? Guess I will wait and watch Chris build it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that they are putting this one out again. One of my all-time favorite kits! They just started drying up and are getting a little pricey. I know that they modified the body to backdate it to make the NASCAR version, but I wonder if they would ever release this kit with the Street Machine interior & bumpers, new wheels, tires and exhaust parts for a G Machine version?

If it's changes to the tooling, then very unlikely, if it's a matter of swapping inserts, possible if there's enough demand.

Haha , while the body kit isnt all that great (IMO of course), the box art makes it look worse. I don't feel AMT did a good job on most of the F&F cars , they just looked toyish IMO.

They may have just stumbled / lucked into great timing! Due to the panicdemic stay-y’all-home shutdown of spectator sports, the network(s) and NASCAR have been running vintage/classic old races. Tom Carter of Spotlight Hobbies says that has triggered a remarkable uptick in sales of the old NASCAR kits you couldn’t give away the past few years!

Maybe the emergence of Salvino's Kits maybe has helped, too. That has probably stoked some interest in the '80's and '90's NASCAR kits.

Its interesting, I myself have sort had a resurgence in wanting to build 90's ear NASCAR stuff again, for me its redoing the ones I built during the 90's when I was teen, because, well, no one needs to see them and its fun to build them at my current self skill level, sadly most of them require Slixx decals which don't age well ☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
