My Hobby Lobby always has a good selection of kits. But they got wise, their kits used to be $22-$28 and then you could use the 40%. Now they've raised all their kits to $29.99 or higher so you don't get as good a deal as you used to.
I have this kit buried in my stash, bought it on sale at Kaybee toys when they went out of business. Also got the Revell 1/12 scale 57 Chevy, 69 Camaro and 67 Vette for $12 each.
I had a 1:1 69 Malibu (wish I still had it) and built the AMT kit. Rumor has it after Revell releases their new 68 Chevelle kit, down the road they'll do the 69. I can only hope.
Looking forward to seeing your finished paint job. I've had good luck with flexible tape both on models and 1:1 cars by stretching the tape around tight curves.
Looking forward to seeing your progress. My best friend growing up his dad had a similar model, it was a 69 Chrysler LeBaron 2door. 440 4 bbl, 727 torqueflite. The car was a monster, weighed 5100 lbs, and could smoke the tires at will. It was a cruiser but got awful gas mileage around 10 mpg.Lol.
Nice job, great color. I had a 1:1 69 Malibu (wish I still had it), looking forward to Revells new tool 68 Chevelle. Rumor has it there might be a new tool 69 down the road also. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
