Good input on those ´57 chevy kits that are out there, and i will defenitly keep it in mind when i want to get a `57 since they are good looking cars.
I can agree with all of you that any pice of plastic can be made into a great looking build if you got the skills and have the patience to work out the problems, I am not saying that the AMT kit mentioned have those, but some kits really need work and skill to make them look decent, and look good, even more so. I can get the autors point, if one is used to modern kits, its hard to work with an old kit that have been released in several versions over the last 60 years with al the problems the molds gets over time. Never the less how some people express them self might leave some things to ask for.
Speaking for my self, I am not in the same level as many of you on this site, even though i grew up building AMT and Revell kits, I did not build any other kits for many years due to my interest in Americana and availibility on kits here. But i still have a really hard time picking up the old kits and making anything out of them, and so far i have not found a MPC kit that i want to work on. I remember when i bought my first Tamiya kit how I enjoyed how they built and how good the fit and finished product always came out. Never the less if you want a certain car to build there is usaly not that many options in make of the kit exept for the realy classic cars of course. This is just my two cents and I feel a little baad for the guy starting the topic since it feels like some people here really jumped on him even though the topic is what it is and it was started in the way it was.
I know this forum for being an open and friendly community and hope it to continue in that way ?
