    On my last build I used the Duplicolor paint right on the plastic without issues.

    Thanks! This picture was my inspiration for the orange accents.

    Thanks so far everyone! While it was a struggle to assemble, it was a fun kit to build!

    I'm hoping the line about the multiple stock and custom decal options means they did include all the stock stripe colors.

    I've decided to call this a car since it is based on the Leone station wagon, plus it has seats in the bed! ? Anywho, this is the original release of the AMT Subaru BRAT. Not sure if the recent rerelease is as bad as the original in the fitment department, but it was a struggle putting this together! It is painted GM Pewter metallic with 3 coats of clear, and the wheels and bumpers/rollbar were painted a contrasting bright orange. The only things not box stock are the plug wires, mudflaps, and the tires. They look much better than the kit tires, and are slightly larger. The decals were starting to tear a bit, so I just cut them out with the backing and glued them to the body instead, and I think they turned out alright. Now to the pictures!

    At least this one shows the correct wheels on it, unlike the previous release with the 4x4 real photo on the box. I'm guessing just a straight reissue with the optional custom parts and S10 LS/SS wheels, maybe with some new decals. I do like the box art, though it feels more 80's rather than 90's.

    Agreed, especially in '87 when they expanded their stripe color selection. Oddly enough that year, they added a light brown metallic which seems to be pretty unpopular. It seems strange since they offered bright red on most of their other vehicles at the time. They do, yet are slightly different to the ones on the Camaro. Why they decided to bring the style back for the Monte Carlo, I have no clue.

    If you are looking for tires that are more accurate to the car and time period, Fireball has a great set of 1/24 Scale Goodyear Eagle GT tires (FMR-020) that supposedly fit the kit wheels.

    Too bad they didn't make it an '87 so they could have the different color stripes on the decal sheet like they did for the Aerocoupe. Edit: Wonder what the 2nd version is in this kit. In the past, they have had a donk version and a lowrider-esque version with 20" Dayton-style wheels.

    If you look at the closer view of the hood, you see there are two spots in the middle that look like "optional holes" where the builder can open them up through for something optional. I wonder if they are for if you want to mount the spare to the hood. I can't see the back door however to see whether it has the option too or not.

    I really only use primer on the body and on parts where I've used filler. Everything else I just straight paint, and with some exceptions, most parts turn out just fine.

    Since this thread is pinned, I'll post my link here as well for my spreadsheet on the Duplicolor Perfect Match spray paint line that gives paint codes, Duplicolor codes, and visual representations of all the colors they offer as a spray can. Duplicolor Perfect Match Spreadsheet

    I was able to scrounge up the Duplicolor full chart that they no longer list on their site. It seems like they don't carry many paints for cars older than maybe the 90s so they wouldn't have it. This place says they have a 3oz spray can of Phoenician Yellow however, so it's worth a shot for you @RAT-T Edit: just noticed it's not in stock, looks like it was a Model Master paint that was discontinued. You would probably need to get a larger can from a site like automotivetouchup.com, but it's gonna be $20 for that.

    For your reference, I present a spreadsheet table with all of the Duplicolor Touch Up spray paints that I could find. I have columns for basic color, the actual color name, the manufacturer's paint code, Duplicolor's paint code, and pictures of both the can and a vehicle in that color. I figure if you like using the Duplicolor sprays (like I do), then this is an easy way to see approximately how the colors compare. I've found that when you open it, you have to slowly scroll down to let the images load, otherwise it either takes forever or freezes. Duplicolor Touchup Spray Reference Chart

    Yup! Though you would need to update it from a carb to fuel injection.

    It is an F250 kit since the 460 wasn’t available on the F150, but they dropped the ball and gave it the half ton wheels for some reason.

    1994 would be the final generation of E-Series.
  18. Jordan White
    You may be right, I found a few other colors on Google images: blue, purple, pink, and black. I’m not sure whether they are official colors though or ones that people have created themselves.

    I know there's a bit of semi truck talk currently here, but I know that Round2 is bringing the 90's GMC Sonoma kit back out again as well. I'm wondering if it will just be a straight reissue of the SLS kit or if they'll change anything about it.

    I'm hoping to get it right away when it comes out. My dad wanted a Krate or Stingray when he was a kid, but his parents couldn't afford one, and so I would like to build a version for his upcoming birthday. He does however have a pair of 1:1 Stingrays, a '68 in red and a '69 in orange, the latter of which was restored by him.

    From what I've found, 6. Apple Krate (red) Orange Krate (orange) Lemon Peeler (yellow) Pea Picker (green) Grey Ghost (gray/silver) Cotton Picker (white)

    Booooooooo!

    That’s a shame about the trunk since it’s one of the defining features of the show car. I’m hoping that someone will resin cast a trunk with the weapons for it.
  24. Jordan White
    I would think so too since if they went the rehashed 2dr kit route, they would alienate both the Supernatural fan crowd and the crowd that are looking for a 4-door Impala kit.

    Alright, good to know!
