I buy glue bombs exclusively for the purpose of a re-build. The model has to be a kit you cannot buy for less than an arm or a leg as an un-built kit, and not cut, chopped, or shaved, as I am primarily a Replica Stock/Mild Custom builder.I take great enjoyment in resurrecting something that has bee disguarded, and raggedy into a decent looking build.
These are ex-glue-bombs:
An so many more of them are awaiting their turn. At the present time, I am restoring an original AMT 1971 Chevelle SS454. Sorry that I did not take any photos, but it was terrible, as there was glue buen on the roof, and a poorly applied brush paint job in red and black. I plan to combine it with an AMT 1969 442 for a better detailed chassis and underhood area, a nice 350/4-speed engine, and wheels from the parts box, and build it as the "Heavy Chevy" concept as I would have done it back in 1971, using a set of Fred Cady decals I have.
