Can-Con Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) I like it a lot. The paint is beautiful. I didn't know Steve did those wheels, I got a very similar [same spokes] set form a die-cast '60 Ford Galaxie several years ago.

Yes he made these as well as some torque thrust wheels that I have from him. they are similar but the spokes on these are slightly different.

Modlbldr Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 That is such an amazing build for a kit that leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to fit. I just finished the same kit and, although I thought mine was a decent job, yours is outstanding! I love the color too. Smooth, shiny and gorgeous!

This kit was indeed a nightmare on the fit and finish. A lot had to be modified or tweaked where it would even fit half way decent. It was way more work than what I wanted to put into it, I guess I have been spoiled by Tamiya kits for too long. This will probably be my last AMT kit, lol.

Modlbldr Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I understand about the fit. I never understood how they got so far off on the fit of the glass in this kit. Here is mine, posted here not too long back. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you get yours lower? And you are right, the glass fit like dookie. I had to do a lot of filing to make it fit even close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, this was first started over 2 years ago when I didn't have any customized stuff under my belt. Too much had been done to go back and tear apart to repaint for a lower rear, lol.

Claude Thibodeau Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Hi! Considering the hurdles you say you faced, this is a superb result. Bravo! I have this kit in my stash, and I will look at it hard and long, the glass in particular, based on your remarks. CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
