Hello all. I will be painting up the body parts for the AMT Ford Police Interceptor kit which I believe is a 1970 Galaxie 500. Can anybody me in the right direction on the correct shades (or as close to correct) of Yellow, and Blue for the project. I will be using rattle cans for the project. I have attached a picture that I found on the internet. As always appreciate any help.

Received today in a trade with Old Buckaroo. The AMT Ford Police Interceptor, and the sealed Monogram Dale Earnhardt 1990 Goodwrench Lumina. As a fan of the State Trooper sedans in the Smokey and The Bandit, and also Convoy I find them a good basis for the Police Interceptor. The Lumina will either stay as the box cover, or maybe a days of Thunder example (Mr. Burns) racer. Anybody have any interwebs sources for the Trooper unit? Lumina

Styrene Mr, Hobby

Good day all, Hope everyone's well. In the process of starting my second AMT Transtar CO4070A and after painting the interior bucket I noticed the following. It appears that the left side rail where the hinge pins are may be slightly "crooked". If anyone has built this kit can you please advise if this looks correct, or is indeed a little off. If I need to redo the rails what is the best course of action, freezer and then carefully separate and then redo it? I have included pics of both rails for comparison. Thank you and have a great day. Kind regards, JerseeJerry55

Thanks I hope so. As Hannibal Smith most famously said. “ I love it when a plan comes together”.

Thank you. Thanks for the tip about the bumper well see how that works out.

Thank you

I will try my best. That's all I can do. A contest winner I ain't.

Just started this AMT '72 C10 I got in a trade. The weather here in Southern NJ has been a lot of hit or miss this Summer. The plan is to make her into the tow vehicle for a local match racer using the C10, the trailer from the Cal Drag Combo set, and the Revell '55 Chevy Bel Air 2n1 kit. On Tuesday the humidity, and temperature combination was kind enough to be cooperative so I laid down the Rustoleum Flat Grey primer. I feel it came out good for the first coat. I was planning on painting the truck either Red & White, or Blue & White. However since the primer came out pretty good, so I may pivot to either the Red, or the Blue with the Grey, and then clear coat it. As far as the Bel Air not quite sure if I go two-tone, or a one color scheme. I do know I'd like to source some Gofer Racing Hometown Sponsor decals and use them, or some from my stash. Have never done a race combo so I feel that this will be a major accomplishment if I can pull it off.

Perhaps but didn't think of it at the time. Never thought this would become an issue.

To be transparent I have no ulterior motive other than to have a question answered.

Have a quick question in regard to an engine swap. I have an older AMT Issue of the 1971 Plymouth Duster Street Machine. Would the Duster's 340 fit the MPC 1971 Dodge Demon with little, or no modifications? Or do I have to look elsewhere?

Perhaps. I was also thinking about doing a local bracket racer complete with some of the Gofer decals local business sheet.

Great thank you. Nice job on yours.

Thanks for replying. I have an old AMT 1971 Duster issue. I can pull the engine from. If I do so do I need to make modifications to it? Also where did you get the Six Pack hood?
