stevez Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) Done after hanging around for ? years. Don't make the mistake a lot of AMS guys like me do to try to improve the kit and scratch build lots of stuff ( I have a scratch built chassis somewhere). It's a Nostalgia build with a capital N. Instead the road out of purgatory was to build it OOB, KISS! The good about this kit: nice SB engine (Chevy?), nice body (I made new front window frame and side drip rails), very nice bucket seat with engraved belt details, injector stacks (unfortunately the sprue gate is at the fluted section of each stack so prepare to sand and sand) and those great rear slicks (just paint black and sand the goodyear logo). I won't go into the bad, but I micro meshed & polished the pitted windshield. And used some left over decals, cause the MK Funny Farmer decals fell apart even after using liquid decal film . Oh and I added the magneto. Edited February 20, 2021 by stevez 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevez Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 Thanks, I think I should have left the windshield and hood off, looks better as a altered coupe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamboat Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Very nice. The off-angle photo is very cool too. It adds to the "Outa Control " feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Very cool! I love all these old OG AMT AWB funnies! Thanks for the heads-up on the kit decals--I was planning to use them on mine. Well done and model on--and I hope your AMS disease doesn't return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
