Fantastic!!!!!!

Thanks Tim for the informative review and photos of the kit contents. I look forward to this one.

I thought that reviews of a kit were of a subjective nature. When did it become a ... contest? I understand Jonathon's comments concerning this kit, and I saw the same thing concerning one of the wheels on the one I built. I stand by my opinion of the AMT 2016 Camaro kit. To me, it is a quality kit. Period. While the Imported kits are usually of very high quality, I have personally worked on a couple that need a little "finessing", but I expect that from ALL model kits. I have several models under construction at the present time, a couple that one who normally sees my work on this board would not expect from me. Both of them are BMWs. One is a Tamiya BMW 850i, and one is a BMW 325 I sedan from one of the premier Japanese companies. They are both mocked up, "Finessed", and ready for paint, and final assembly, once I decide on the colors of the exterior and interior. I admit that I am far from the best modeler on this board, but I can say I know my way around a model car, over 50 years, building a few hundred kits over that period. I've seen Jonathon's work, and I can say from the photos I saw, it's excellent. Disparaging his abilities and skills on this board is ridiculous. He is entitled to his opinion, as are everyone else who posts them on this and any other board. I admit that I am very much into American Iron from the early '60's through today, and the only Imported Cars I have built are the Fujimi Porsche 356 and 911 Cabriolets, and Ferrari 250 GTO and 365 GTB Coupes, Fujimi BMW 650i and a Revell of Germany BMW 750il, even though I have several Fujimi, Aoshima, Revell of Germany, and Tamiya kits of various subjects. None of these kits are absolutely perfect, and while I can actually agree with most of Jonathan's findings and observations, I contend that AMT has definitely stepped up their game, and I welcome more kits at this level, no matter what country the kit is marketed from. I want to see contemporary cars and trucks, especially the domestics. If AMT, Revell, Mobieus, or any of the European and Japanese can do this, it will be a better day for the modeling community.

I have a few of the '68 El Camino kits in my stash, and I plan to get this one for the Soap Box Derby Car. In my mind, I plan to remove the vinyl roof and mouldings, and re-do it as a '69, as I have a '68 already done.

I built one of these when the kit first came out, and I liked the kit. Until it was painted and glued, it sat kind of funky, but one I did my final assembly, I an quite happy with the kit. The only problem I had, was that I felt that the side window gaskets were not very well defined, and hard to paint. Other than having to finesse a few parts to my satisfaction, which I normally do with my builds anyway, I am pleased with the kit. I did not encounter the problems that Jonathon mentioned once everything was painted.

Another nice one Al!!!!!

I love it Al!!!!!

That looks great. I have one of the Air Trax Dodge Magnums to do. Are you going to do it as the 300, or as a Cordoba?

Lookin' gooooood!!!!!

Another fantastic build Emmanuel!!!

WOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!

That is fantastic! I saw a one-on-one of that truck when my wife and I were on vacation this summer. The only difference was I believe that the one-to -one was a Fleetside, and not a Sportside. I have a teal Chevy of that era in my collection also, except that I made a platform bed for it when I ruined the sportside bed.

I am working on something similar. Either Revell '67 will work. If I were doing what you are doing, I would get a Revell '67 Coupe kit to swap out the wheels. I feel the best 327 in scale is from the Revell '64 Impala, even though it has the Powerglide, the 4 speed transmission and bell housing from the Corvette can be used. If you are able to get an AMT '65 or '66 Corvette Hood, you can get it to fit with some careful trimming.

That is very nice.

Nicely done!!!!!

Beautiful Work J. J. That is the car I wanted to replicate, but I have some MCW Bristol Blue Lacquer that I bought to do the '62 Arnie Beswick Catalina. It may find its way onto my '61 instead.

I'm speechless !!!!!

Excellent!!!!!

Nice!!!!!!!!

Now that is a sweet one. Your subjects and workmanship is very nice. I have this 60 convertible in my collection to be restored. Mine is in primer now, and it is ready for paint. It cleaned up very easy. I am going to do it in a dark color, with a two-tone interior, factory stock, I guess.

Hey Al, When did you get into my basement? Great minds think alike!!!! You know I love your car!!!

That Suburban is a must have!! I like the looks of the Foose '56. I have been working over a stock '56 Big Window to make it look somewhat like a proper stock '56 Ford PU. If I get a Foose '56. I can display them side by side, as if the '56 stock F100 looks acceptable.

Go get 'em Bill !!!!

I like that Chocolate color. You're gonna make me bring one of mine out for a build.

Very nice work Scott! I enjoyed the "On the workbench" post, as well as the finished car.
