Very cool!!!!! -
Tom thanks for the photos and tips on the tires! I'm going to have to dig they my tire box and see if I have any of those!
-
Tom, yes I “tried” to cut treads in the tires, they are just straight grooves. A cross pattern would have been nicer! What tires did you use on your Valiant? They look really good!

Hi all, if this is in the wrong spot please feel free to move it! This is the AMT 69 Falcon modified stocker. Built pretty much box stock as a just completed never raced car! The only thing I did was to use an interior tub from the parts box since this kit doesn’t come with one. Overall I was happy with the way this turned out! I have the other stocker kits and look forward to building those! As always criticisms and comments welcome!

Looks fantastic! One of my favorite models and 1:1! Great tip on the decals! !

Super clean build, very cool! -
Thank you! I hope they continue putting out more stuff from this era, I like the older NASCAR kits, I'm going to try a Monte Carlo next!

Hi all, this is my third NASCAR build, this is the Salvinos Olds that I just finished yesterday. It’s not completely correct as I left the drivers side window net out to see the interior better, I also used the chrome wheels cause I thought they looked really good on it! I certainly am no expert in NASCAR kits and I have heard a lot of bad things about this kit. Overall I didn’t think it was that bad of a kit, some places it was engineered really well and others not so well. I enjoyed building this and was pretty happy with the overall results! The decals were really nice but using decal set is a must! The bumpers are the upgrades and these came in the Petty Monte Carlo and I was really surprised to see them in there, they required some trimming to fit but are much better than the originals. Comments and criticism always welcome!

David there were a lot of fit issues, mostly no positive location points. The glass that came in the kit did not fit at all and had vent windows molded in! The body on the inside had some thick mold issues in spots, they needed cleaned up, not a big deal but a pain. The tail lights have always been terrible in these kits, I heard the original issue had good tail lights but I have never seen one, I ended up filling mine in and adding strip plastic for the chrome. I guess it has to do with tooling from 69 , it’s easy to get spoiled with some of the new kits that go together really well.

Thanks for the comments guys! I hope Revell updates their 68 to a 69. It would definitely be a better kit!

This is my first completed model of 2019 and it fought me the whole way! Not really that pleased with how it turned out, this is the most recent issue of this from AMT and it is a tough kit. Comments and criticism are welcome.

Open road camper van body
fordf-100 replied to fordf-100's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Like you said these are pretty expensive when mint. I have seen a few and very few for sale on eBay around the $200 plus! I would have liked to have been able to replace the body and just keep it that way in the collection. It would be pretty neat to build it though! -
Open road camper van body
fordf-100 replied to fordf-100's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Yeah, it’s doesnt really have any structure to it, there is some dark coloring on top of the box so who knows maybe it was stored in an attic! -
Open road camper van body
fordf-100 replied to fordf-100's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I will check this out! I thought another possibility since the warping might straighten out with building and the grille installed I could "replace" the cowl area with a donor. It sure which approach I will use. Thanks for all the input! -
Open road camper van body
fordf-100 replied to fordf-100's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thanks for the info! Hopefully I can find a decent parts van or maybe try and fix the body on this! -
Hey guys, I was lucky enough to pivot up the AMT open road camper recently for a good deal. The kit is unbuilt but the body has warped and cracked, do any of the current van kits have this same body? Thanks for any help, it’s always appreciated,

Hi David, I don't known if what I have would help it not, I have s 68 or 69 built up Bonneville that had the custom stuff glued on and is made into the pickup. Unfortunately I will not be able to dig it up for a few weeks. I am currently in the hospital and won't be home for a bit and won't be able to get to my stuff. If you are interested in putting this on hold let me know and I will find it!

Completed a trade with br67, smooth trade with good stuff, would trade with anytime. Thanks!
