AMT '72 Chevelle SS

[AMT68]

This is my first post here of a model I posted last summer on the now defunct Scale Auto forum. Build is from the mid 80's AMT/ERTL release of a 1/25 scale '72 Chevelle SS-454. Painted in Tamiya TS-18 Metallic Red and top coated with Tamiya TS-13 gloss clear. Rally wheels are from the AMT '69 Chevelle SS kit.

Very nice.

Looks good! Hopefully AMT/Round 2 has this one in their re-issue plans!

Thanks Lee and Craig. I agree this kit would be a good candidate for a reissue.

Nice!.. ??

Add some stripes and you have my old car, lol.

Nice clean build!  The two tone white and black interior really makes the interior pop.

Yeah, definitely a good reissue candidate since we haven't seen the ('72) in quite awhile.

Nice , clean build of one of my favourite kits !  

Truly time for a reissue of this kit (maybe a modified-reissue with parts to build a 1971 as well !) .

I like that it has the LS-6 and Cowl Induction parts from the 1970 edition . I've built two examples of "What If...? 1972 LS-6 phantoms ( parts box brake booster and master cylinder rounded the otherwise-barren engine compartment) .

How about it , Round2 ? Time for this bad boy to return ! A decal sheet with SS stripes *and* Heavy Chevy marques would be great !

Very nice!

Nicely done. I like the hood bulge and Rally wheels on this. Would definitely like to build one of these myself.

I like your color choice and a great finish. Look forward to seeing more of your builds in the future.

Thanks for your replies. I thought about adding decals but I'm still a bit decal challenged....lol.

Thanks for the replies. And I do have tendency towards white interiors on my kits.

Thanks John. True it is a rather barren engine compartment typical of the era. It seemed to me there were a lot of carry over parts from not only the '70 but even the '69 kit.  And yeah "Heavy Chevy" decals would be great on a future release.

Thanks David. I've been following this site as a guest for some time now and I'm quite impressed with the talent of the modelers. 

Thanks Gareth. I'd been wanting to do one myself for quite a while when I purchased this kit in the spring. The older kits don't come up often and finding  a reasonable price can also be a challenge.
