Round 2 AMT 2017 Chevrolet Camaro SS "Fifty" Edition
Ron Hamilton replied to Againmikewins's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Thanks for the review. I built the 2016 version of this kit, and was satisfied with it, I see the same mould lines on the body that you show in your review, so I am not surprised that they are still there. The color of the body is no problem to me, as I am going to paint it anyway. I will probably strip the wheels too. I have to do my research on this car. I hope that there is one at a dealership near my club meeting place when I go out tomorrow. I'll probably pick one up. -
Plum Crazy was my favorite color for this car when it was new. Very nice build!!!

I like that one too. Hawk would have been jealous.

I am considering making one up of my own.

If you can, attend a model car club meeting near your home and join. You will be hooked.

I am so jealous Rex. The Mach1 is a grail of mine.

I used only the body, glass, chrome, and wheels when I "upgraded a '74 Road Runner using parts from the latest tool '71 Charger. I cut the underhood structure from the '71 Charger, and mated it to the Road Runner after I removed the underhood area from the Road Runner. I also used the basic '71 Charger Interior, modifying it to Road Runner specs using the research materials I had. I retained the seats, console, steering wheel, and installed the rear seat inserts from the Road Runner, as well as reshaping the side panels. I plan to o the same thing to my '74 Charger Restoration project. I have pulled it apart, and it has to go into the stripper. I have to decide which version to do. Base Charger, or Rallye

I have an un-built '73 in my basement, which I am going to use as a guide to clean up my "Super Charger". I am glad that Steve showed how the body should look with the stock wheel openings. I believe that I have a set of Fred Cady '73-4 Charger Rallye Decals, and a set of Rallye Wheels in my stash. If so, that is the direction I am going to go in. And before it is asked, no the '73 is not for sale. I have plans for it.

Tamiya Mercedes 300SL Gullwing - B396 Blue - A Holy Grail build
Ron Hamilton replied to Kmb0319's topic in WIP: Model Cars
I like what you are doing with your build. It is unfortunate about the pillar. I recently picked one of those kits up myself. Eventually, I would like to build and display the SL and the SLS side by side, as if the same person owned both cars. -

' 68 Ambassador ragtop update 03/13
Ron Hamilton replied to smellyfatdude's topic in WIP: Model Cars
That is very nice. AMC should have done the car in one-to-one. I have a '67 Ambassador promo with a missing w/s frame in green, which I am going to scratchbuld the frame, polish the paint, and foil the car. -
Fantastic work J.C.!

Survivor Resto--Original AMT '67 Corvette Coupe
Ron Hamilton replied to Snake45's topic in Model Cars
I have a '66 Coupe somewhere in my basement that I started to fix. The rear fenders were hogged out, but otherwise it was fine. I made an attempt to fix it, but I put it back in the box, and it is in the inner depth of never-never land. I'll find it one day. I am going to do a complete inventory of my kits in the next few weeks, as I sold a lot off on Ebay over the past couple of years, and frankly, there are some kits and resin that I forgot that I have. I have been buying only new releases or resin kits in the past year. My plan is to clean out and reorganize the basement, as I normally put like kits in the same place. Once that is done, I'll know exactly what I have, and I can then decide what to keep, what is needed, and what to trade or sell. When I get back into my '60's Corvettes, I plan to build them as the kit intended: AMT: Wire Axles Revell: Better Details MPC: Working Features I plan on nice paint jobs, bare-metal foiling, and paint detailing only, unless I have a Photoetch set for it, then I'll use it. Most wll be replica Stock, but a road racer and a gasser may make it into the mix. I have a '63 AMT Coupe that has the wheel wells hogged out, and I am not going to fix it, as the job was done pretty good. -

Ron Hamilton replied to Snake45's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I'm glad I kept my original JoHan '69 GTX Kit. The plastic is so brittle, but the detail is fantastic!!!!
