jdcar32 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I especially like the appearance of the carpet and rear package shelf. May I ask what you used for these areas ? It does not look like flocking. Red lines and green paint are always a great combo too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 A very beautiful build Yuri. I'm wondering if it was built from an original kit? Or if a reissue, which one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 How did I miss this one?? Absolutely gorgeous Yuri! Interesting enough, all this talk of AMT's Bonneville lately made me check out eBay. I just snagged one (Prestige Kit) for a VERY reasonable price! I like what you did to the headlights...........makes that beautiful front end that much more beautiful!

unclescott58 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Thank you very much for all your wonderful and kind comments! This is good news. There is some debate on what came in this box. Was it really the Bonneville? Or the 2+2? There was some question if the dies/tooling for the Bonneville were lost to the 2+2 when Ertl made the 2+2. The closer I look at your model, the more I wonder about it. On the original AMT Bonnevilles there was a badge of some sort on the front fender, above the the wide rocker panel, just behind the front wheel. It's shown on the box art above, but missing from your model. Also the rocker panels don't look quite right in your photos compared to the original kits. Your rocker panels look smooth. The original kit's rocker panel have horizontal ridges, fluting. Also, I believe the original kit had the word Bonnevile in the driver side upper segment of the grille. Which looks like it's missing on your build. This makes me wonder. Did Ertl ruin the tooling for the Bonneville in making the 2+2? Then realized their mistake, and tryed to convert the the tooling back to a Bonneville? The mystery deepens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost everything you stated as missing on Yuri's build, I can see. The rocker panel moldings are ridged, & the Bonneville lettering is in the grille, albeit faint. You are correct about the badge on the front quarters though. My "Prestige" kit has them. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve I wish I could help you with the glass. But I only have the set that came in my Prestige version of the kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
