I have been wanting another.. If Coca Cola gets it on the shelves, I am fine with it

That purple pops over white. I'll need to try that on one. I like this build, really like the wheels..

Love that thing. Paint is awesome

Looks great! Round2 should do this.....

I like it..... Wonder if the mold exists still? The body sure looks like the Cuda snap kit

Looks Cool.... but the wheels are just a bit big for me.

Many of the body's are still pretty good on those Galaxies.... just need some updated interior and chassis under them. Same with the 61 Ranchero, 66 Mustang, and others. As for Revell new toolings, I stay away from a lot of them. Too many of their offerings have incorrect bodies, and I just got tired of trying to correct them. Some are tolerable, some are just junk IMO

Verry cool, will be watching.

Pretty cool.... Definitely thinking out of the box. I like it. All it needs is Jason Voorhees driving it.......

Looks great!!! Yes, yellow is a bear to paint. I have found that a white primer or flat white base lightly scuffed helps me painting yellow.

The Freightliner is number 2 on my list of trucks I am building. I have been doing some research before I start. Best solution for the cab looks to be assemble, sand, fill the seams and use the archer rivets. Going to do as Brian says and leave the drums out and do some thinning of other items. Alot of trial fitting also.

Good looking build of a botched kit. Love the details and colors.

Thanks... That was my thought. Only ended up with 2 tiny specks in the paint. Good 'nuf

Yes, they are.... actually all these old AMT kits are fun. I just need to stop trying to update or improve them and enjoy them. Too many people whine and complain about these old kits. And we have color.... The color is called Medium Metallic Blue. Not doing anything with it, no rubbing, buffing, anything, just let it dry and BMF the body.

I sure was hoping to see that Cyclone soon!!!!! I plan on several. Never was a Brat fan, but I may be in for that one too. Started doing some trucks... that wrecker looks cool.

Day 3 progress was a bust... layed some paint down and it was old and went on like spackle. After it set up, into the purple pond. Day 4, did the interior, basic black, flocking for carpet, white face gauges, kit provided seat belts (thinned a bit) Engine mostly assembled, used a parts box intake, carbs and air cleaners. Body sanded, primed, sanded. Trying for different paint Friday.

Progress on day 2. Chassis painted and detailed, engine is painted, emblems shaved off the body per Snake's thoughts, and the body primed. Weather is going to be good tomorrow, so I hope to lay some body color. The burnt orange is kinda in the air right now. Floor is in flat black with a satin black on the frame. Exhaust is flat aluminum. I decided on the big block just because this will be a street machine, not a stock build.

Personally, I think it is looking pretty darn good. I was working on one of these but shelved it for a bit. Not because of frustration, but other ideas for builds pop in my head and off I go. I assembled the body first an it fits together well as a one piece body although the assembly was tricky. Can't wait to see it done.

Well, I have had my hands in too many kits that have become major projects. Seems nothing is getting finished. Well, I saw this Corvette at a good price and grabbed it. Having built it as a kid, I knew what I was getting, and was looking forward to building it again. Simple promo type chassis, one piece interior tub, basic old AMT kit. Overall, just as I remembered and considering the age, the mold is holding up well, very little flash, details look good, mold lines are light. My plan is to get it built, on the shelf and actually accomplish something. No real frills, modifying or upgrading. Probably add a few minor details under the hood and that's it. My plan is to finish in a week. First night, assembled engine long block, sanded mold lines from the body, did clean up for paint, added to the mounting surface above the front tires (the area in just a tad wider than the hood opening) and I did lengthen the radiator with some styrene stock to add the lower radiator hose. Not sure what engine option I will use since the fender has the "Fuel Injection" badge and removing without messing up the flags will be tough. I may see if I have the flags in a decal. Color is going to be metallic burnt orange with a black interior

Wow

Weird yes, but a good looking build

Does his own plating

Couldn't find anything. Care to pass the info?

I do not care what decals or gimmicks they use, I love these old kits. Some I missed out on in earlier releases, so to see them back is great

Beautiful build. A little biased since I love anything Woods Brothers, but still stunning
