Tom Geiger Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 I forgot all about this one until Antonio posted his! The red on the body is the original plastic, that I had masked with BMF as an experiment. Pickup bed was scratch built. Interior has a '57 Chevy dashboard and I narrowed a traditional style seat to fit. Pity is that once in the body, you see very little through those little slit windows!

Bernard Kron Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) I've only ever done 1, and even then modified it a fair amount. But I have to admit there was plenty of detail to work with and I absolutely did not miss a separate motor and chassis! Seeing what's out there, I will definitely consider more of these kits...

Brett Barrow Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) I think those are all of the snap kits I still have pictures of. Thanks for allowing me to share. Antonio I think the Revell Snap 70 Chevelle is the best 70 Chevelle currently out there and yours just proves that!

Tom Geiger Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Nice work Bernard! That is a fun little kit just to do something quick and fun. Here's another one I started. I believe it was the Newburgh club that did a project around this kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draggon Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Here's an old one that some of you have seen before: The second kit I did when returning to the hobby in 2007, again most have probably seen it. Finally, my "34 B's Way" work in progress inspired by Bernard's 34 shown above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1959scudetto Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Would the "Junior Craftsman" kits of old be considered a snap kit?

Sidney Schwartz Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I know nothing about these Snap kits other than having seen them for sale. I assumed they were for kids and not very well done. Looks like I was way wrong! I don't see any difference between the models posted here and the "real" models. So what is the difference?

Looks like I was way wrong! I don't see any difference between the models posted here and the "real" models. So what is the difference? Usually less parts count on the kit, the parts will "snap" together, sometimes the quality is not as good. As far as that goes though, I usually just add back the details from the parts box.

mikemodeler Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I know nothing about these Snap kits other than having seen them for sale. I assumed they were for kids and not very well done. Looks like I was way wrong! I don't see any difference between the models posted here and the "real" models. So what is the difference? Most snap kits have well detailed bodies and interiors, but no engine or opening hood, thus you can concentrate on a great paint job. They can be a great "quick build" that gets the creative juices flowing to get those stalled, full on glue kits started back up. They also are relatively cheap, most retail around $15 and if you have a Hobby Lobby or Michaels nearby, then with their coupon you can get them for close to $10-12!

Chuck Most Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Sheesh... forgot the Revell (nee Monogram) Datsun 720 is technically a snap kit, just not marketed as such for the current reissue. So... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I sure would like to see your whole display case Thanks guys! I guess you could call these the "snap kit" of their day. Simplified versions of the "customizing" kits, with only stock parts, molded in color & no glue required. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
