TooOld Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I was looking for something quick and easy so I grabbed this out of my stash , mainly because I love the Box Art ! Fourteen days start to finish which is great for me since I only get an hour or so at my bench every day .It's built right out of the box except for lowering the front and adding a distributor and coil . The chassis is just one piece with only a front axle and wishbone being separate parts , so I did a little creative painting to pick out some of the details . The only issues I found with the kit are the fit of the windshield frame and the taillights seem way too big to my eyes . . . I almost left them off ."Snake Eyes" is painted Tamiya Metallic Red topped with Clear Red to tone down the metallic . I finished it off with a 1966 Florida plate , which is the year this kit was released . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 How can you have a collection of model cars and not have at least one red '32 hot rod? This is just a beautiful standard for classic hot rods! Very clean and tasteful build, love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larman Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Great job! Nice job on capturing the box art! That one is pretty hard to find and $$$ when it shows up on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Larry ! I bought several of the early AMT kits many years ago just for the box art and never built any of them , maybe I'll build a couple more .

Modelbuilder Mark Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Very cool. Looks like a fun project with great results. I need to do more of those if I have any hopes of getting through more of my stash. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Probably the best build of that particular kit I've ever seen. You (and a few others on here over the years) have definitely inspired me to do a few simple box-art jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
