OldTrucker Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 There was a Corvette kit too. Sure would love to see that Firebird kit again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 The MPC '68 Firebird had it too, as well as the '67. The AMT '65 Impala had a clear hood but only for the radical custom version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I have a vague recollection of seeing or maybe even at one time having a clear hood with the Ford teardrop bubble. MPC '67 or '68 Mustang, maybe? Or was that the clear hood in the AMT '68 Shelby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I never had or even saw that kit as a kid, so the one I'm thinking of must have been from something else. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/ford/1961-1970/amt-1967-ford-fairl/8.html#media ETA: Further research shows the original annual AMT '67 Mustang had a clear teardrop hood. The MPC '68 Mustang had a clear hood, but it wasn't teardrop, it was stock. Edited January 16, 2021 by Snake45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magicmustang Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Do these count? I have an original MPC 1/16 Petty Charger kit with the clear hood and body as well. Also have an MPC 1/25 Mr. Gasket Gasser '69 Mustang with the clear body including the hood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I've got a case of 'em! I tried to spray them but nothing came out - probably dried up. I did notice that the leaking cans disappeared! Hmm, strange. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
