Nice. I've only ever seen one. Someone in an apartment complex had a black one that was in really bad shape.

Looks good. I know what you mean about the engine. I did the same thing with mine as I ran into the same problem with one side not wanting to sit down. I didn't have any problems with the windshield; though I will agree painting the headlights/tail lights/ and windows sucked.

Very nice. I just ordered one, but it's been over a week and it hasn't even shipped yet.

Not this one. The Datsun kit I posted did though.

Aoshima

Another model I got with my gift card this past Christmas. I saw a few of these on eBay and decided I wanted one for the collection. It's not a bad kit as far as detail, however, assembly was kinda hard. The windshield plastic was a little too wide for the frame. I actually ended up trimming some of it off. The interior is not a tub and the doors attach to the body interior. It's tricky getting the interior in and getting the doors in the correct position. Getting the dash to fit right with the doors and all was a nightmare. Getting the chassis to fit right was also a nightmare. Lots of repositioning and using a knife to pull the body apart to adjust the ride height. To start the front was higher than the rear and it had the Carolina squat look. It took forever to get it to go in the right spot. SAM_1957 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr SAM_1958 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr SAM_1959 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr

I did one of these a few years ago, but I ended up breaking the grill and botching some of the paint job. Since then I have wanted to get another, but I really didn't like the prices they are going for. I ended up getting a gift card from my mom for Christmas and decided to get this kit and another. It's a really nice kit. The only real issue I had was fitting the chassis to the body. On the first kit I made it with an opening hood to show off the engine, but this time around I didn't have access to the tools and decided not to do that.

Looks great. Back around 2006-2007 I found one exactly like this one in Myrtle for $20,000. Wish I had the money to buy it at the time.

Nice, the first model car I ever tried doing as an adult. Same color too.

Beautiful. Excellent color choice.

Great looking car and nice review. I've been thinking about getting the 69 Buick and 69 Monacco. Haven't done it yet since they're a little on the pricey side for me right now. I didn't want to take a chance. I may break down and get the buick soon thanks to your review.

Very nice. I don't remember any problems building my two.

Beautiful. Been wanting one of these for a long time, but the prices are just outrageous.

Looks really good

Well it was not an improvement other than the decals. If anything it was worse than the previous kit. This is the new Slasher kit and it was not great. That mirror is also an add on. I got it out the parts bin as well. No mirrors in the kit at all. If I can get to it; I need to add pics of the old kit.

I will also add, the rims are out the parts box, the ones in the kit were not that great looking.

Same, unless they have another kit on the way.

ouch

This is the new Stranger Things Blazer. It's a really great kit, but I don't like how they did the windows for it. I also don't like how the did the clear parts. It's all clear parts, so you have to paint the tail lights, ect. I do like the range of decals and the full color instruction manual. It's a little challenging, but it comes out looking great. I've always liked these trucks. For a short time I owned a 1986 Blazer. It had a lot of problems; like an exhaust leak. Zero to 60 in about a mile (if lucky). That was the reason I got rid of it. It was an old fire captain's truck I found. I loved the grill guard and fog lamps. My 94 Jimmy was a far better truck and I was sad to sell it at 899,000mi on the odometer. But, new laws in NC at the time forced me to sell it before I got to see the odometer roll over. Great truck! My dad used to have a full size Bronco that was a similar shade of green and with a similar interior, so that's what I went with over more traditional colors.

As some of you know I used to own a 1972 Chevelle SS. It was a "barn" find just up the road from my house. I bought it with the intention of restoring it, but ended up losing my job just as I was beginning to make some calls. I ended up having to sell it at a loss. I was without a job for 2yrs and living off my savings. This is the newest AMT version of the 72. I got one the last time it was released as well. I forgot just how terrible a kit it was. the last one didn't even have the stripes in the decals even though they are shown on the box. Luckily, this one did have the decals, and a few more at that. Too bad the rest of the kit is garbage. The whole front end is just wrong. There's nothing holding it together until you glue the grill on. The engine bay and underside are also lacking. It took a lot to make it look this good. I still have to go back and do the tail lights and the turn signals at some point. It was kind of a rush build. This build is a recreation of what i wanted my car to look like when finished. It's Cranberry Red with a white interior and red carpet. However, mine was an automatic, and a bit of a Frankenstein car. It was made up of what ever Chevelle parts the guy could find. So it had a bench seat and standard dash. It also had a 1971 grill. I really miss it, but at least I got my hands on a future classic with my Challenger. SAM_1942 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr SAM_1943 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr SAM_1944 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr

That came out beautiful. My build did not. It was one of the worst kits I ever had the displeasure of building.

Beautiful

Very Nice! These were a good simple kit to build, that looks great when finished. This was the first kit I tried to build when I started building car models 23yrs ago.

Very nice
