Scale I Build

Found 1 result

  1. So I was thinking this might be helpful to some one interested in purchasing one of the Mustang LX Coupes. I think this is a thread long over due. So how about it? I have photographed them all together, that the pictures might speak for themselves so to speak... I would be happy to take additional photos as needed. For reference, the Reliable resin car is on the left, the Af/x car is cast in white (repoped AAM), and the AAM is the lighter tan car. 1. Reliable Resin First of all, I have 3 Reliable Resin coupes. Each one is flawed. None of the engine compartments are complete, one the roof was so thin, that I could read instructions through it. So I have to question if there are really any good castings out there. Also Reliables castings share the same flaw that the AF/X and AAM do, they ALL filled in the rear bumper for casting, which means that for a person to build them, they have to sand out /grind out the rear bumper to get the chassis seated properly. Additionally the rear window has an odd shape to me, and the rear quarter windows are different shapes and sizes. 2. AF/X this is a direct repop of the AAM car. They did clean up the roof on the inside, by grinding out the "sunvisors" which will probably actually help in glass fitment. However, they also somehow managed to flatten the roof to the point that to build the kit you may need to replace the roof. In addition to the AAM castings flaws it also has problems with... the door lines on the right side of the car are very shallow, and in some places non existent. Finally the rear wheel wells are further off then any other body... kit or resin. 3 AAM. The first coupe on the market. It has the wrong side trim, the "wrong" engine compartment, and the rear trunk lid is "off". Also the body lacks the Mustang in the rear bumper, and the frame rails/ drip rails (below the door) were never fixed properly.
