Poll : AMT '40 Ford or newer Revell ?

[unclescott58]

The Revell '40s comes with a Columbia 2-speed rear end? Cool! A reason for me to consider one of their kits. Probably the convertible. Unlike Mr. Kron above, I love the idea of the Columbia rear end. Basically the factory authorized overdrive setup for Fords at the time. If purchasing a new Ford at the time, it's an option I would have wanted on my new car. I like the idea Revell including it in its kits.

Great review Bernard, thanks, just what i was looking for.

...and a low parts ****. For this reason...

I guess the word filter didn't catch that one!

I understand what you are asking,  but comparing kits that have decades between their first release dates is close to peeing in the wind. 

I have to agree 100 % on this !!!!! I've built both kits  too

Don't get any on you.

I got it. Thanks for fixing the original Bernard. I even read that post earlier and did not see it. My brain put the correct word in, I guess.

How about shooting us a message if it happens again, instead of repeating it

The Revell kits have more detail but I like the simplicity of the AMT kits,the older I get the less I care for all the detailed chassis parts.

You're not alone Jeff,. Many of us are reverting to the "Nostalgia" build style.
