Ramfins59 Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 I used to own a 1986 Chevrolet Caprice Classic. These guys make a kit and I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with them...??? Good or bad, your input will be appreciated. Thanks.
Casey Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 I think you mean A&J Resin Kits?: https://www.facebook.com/AJ-RESIN-KITS-321209548065537/ I would be a bit wary, based upon the images I see on the facebook page. It appears the bodies have all been painted with grey primer, which, if true, is never a good sign. I see some details (door gaps, drip rails, window opening moldings) which are a bit crooked and sometimes crude, too. There is no legitimate contact info listed either-- no address, e-mail phone number, etc. At a minimum, I wouldn't buy from that company unless it was through eBay with PayPal protection. I can honestly say I wouldn't recommend you buy from them at all, based on what I see...and don't see.
W-409 Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Don't know anything about the company itself, but at least that Caprice front end is far from accurate...
av405 Posted October 24, 2018 Posted October 24, 2018 I’m almost certain they took a Modelhaus Impala body and modified it into a Caprice. That’s another red flag.
Ramfins59 Posted October 24, 2018 Author Posted October 24, 2018 Thanks very much for your input guys. I think I'll pass on getting anything from them.
mademan Posted October 24, 2018 Posted October 24, 2018 Ive got a bunch of his stuff.... needs work for sure, but its pretty decent, and workable.

Tom Geiger Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Rich, did you look at the Facebook link Casey provided? There's photos of his different kits there.

av405 Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Yes they do. It appears that the front clip and taillights were modified to look like those of the Caprice, but that's it. I thought about buying this kit in the past but the high cost , combined with it not being a complete kit and having inaccurate headlights, made me pass.
Ramfins59 Posted October 25, 2018 Author Posted October 25, 2018 Yeah, the more I see (Facebook) and the inaccuracies, plus the various comments...... I'm passing on this. Thanks everyone.
av405 Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Casey, here's an old thread you can check out to compare these two kits. I had already brought up the A & J kit up before: This thread has excellent pictures of the Modelhaus Impala kit: http://www.wettringer-modellbauforum.de/forum/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=55803
Intmd8r Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 I've bought some of their products through eBay, only to find out after the fact that their stuff seems to be copies of other people's work. Unfortunate since they charge top dollar (at least through eBay). As already stated, the quality needs to be improved upon but they sell desirable subjects. FYI - I think they were previously known as seller "angelversace323", of which has been disabled by eBay. I assume as result of copying. No hard evidence, though the pictures in the past listings and subject mater are identical.
American 185 Heavy Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 I bought his 86-90 Brougham sedan. Needed lots of finishing off in order to be acceptable. His prices are not cheap, but quality of work questionable. I would not buy from him again for sure. Saw his proposal of the final Lincoln Town Car on ebay, and it is pathetic being polite !!!
Lpoole2414 Posted November 11, 2021 Posted November 11, 2021 Can anybody tell me how long it takes him to ship be told me 7 business days well its going on 12 and he never sent the tracking number he provided

keyser Posted November 13, 2021 Posted November 13, 2021 Seems like tracking number given, parcel not shipped. Semantics on intarweb. Vendor doesn’t seem reliable (pun intended). Joe have some decaf today. ?
