Get Smart

[Bob Ellis]

This is the AMT Matchbox Sunbeam aTiger which Round2 is going to reissue. It has most of the Get Smart parts, meaning glass chrome chassis and imterior. No spy parts in 1980 issue and has a Ford V8.

[Bob Ellis]

sorry about that, Chief

Not exactly a precise fit on that hood, chief. And the front wheel is pretty wonky, too.

LOL!

Real nice looking build.

And thanks for mentioning the re-issue, I need to build one to display with my Get Smart lunchbox.

Looking forward to the reissue, I need one of these.

I wonder what parts the Kats will add back in? I have the V-8 Tiger Version, just waiting to be built. Another one could be fun.

Maybe the spy parts will return with the 4 cyl?

I'm not holding my breath. In the meantime, I need to finish restoring this one.

I have an original Get Smart Sunbeam but it is a rea.l mess

It popped out of place when I moved the model an took a picture. Better fit than appears.

Nice.

IT has a very funky wheel connection. You can't predict the final appearance.I tried using the compact Corvair tires that came with the Get Smart kit but they don't fit well. The kit tires from Matchbox are actually better
