Those kits are not a true snap kit, the kits are a skill level 2, it state's on the box minimal gluing and painting required, nowhere on the box does it say snap kit.
This really a great kit, you should have building it, I know I did with mine, just a word of warning, dont go on Aston Martins website and look at the interior color options, it will make your head spin
Better late then never, I would be very honored to have one of my builds make into a magazine, even if the magazine may or may not make it to the people on time
I bought mine from Tower Hobbies, I was still awake in the am when I receive the in stock email, so I ordered them right then, plus got free shipping
I think that is a cool idea, if I can ever learn how to weather, thats one I would like to do as well
I have been waiting for the re release of AMT's Ecto 1A kit, and I bought two of them, one to do each version, and this new release of it contains decals for both Ecto 1/Ecto 1A
Here are some pics
Started doing some work one the body
I am filling in the holes on the roof that are not needed for Ecto 1
And started working on the modifcations to the roof rack
And the chassis
Jon, thanks for posting the the pic, I was going to find one to post, and forgot about it
I myself have been trying to come across one that wont cost me my first born , to me, that F650 is a perfect fit for the Galaxie goose-neck trailers, better then a pickup
I have notice with the cars kits from the Japanese company's, sometimes they include P/E sets, and the price difference between the kits w/o and with the P/E set is around $10 , sometimes a little higher, but not to much more. But the P/E sets are usually the basic sets to begin with.
Same here, I am not going to dump what could be two,three times or more in after market parts on a kit thats not going to shows, I dont build for shows, so to me , that is a hudge waste of money, money that can get me at-least two more kits. Not being cheap, its just not a needed expense to complete a build.
I agree, but at the same time, I look at the supplys as separate cost, I rarely buy extras for a kit, the only things I do is paint for the body. Paint, glue, BMF, flocking, etc,etc, can be used for multiply projects.
One of the kits that I am going to build, Tamiya Mercedes SLR Mclaren, I am doing resin wheels, plus when I get the P/E set, so to total all that up, kit I paid a little over $50, P/E set is $20, Wheels $12
Doing that once and awhile for certain kits, yes, but not all the time
Right, but the price's of kits have gone up, but more then have of the new kits coming out are of old tooling, some good, some bad, and I dont think that some of the kits coming out are wroth the mark up of the MSRP being asked for them.
