New Round 2 AMT 1964 Olds Cutlass/Old (repro) Triumph Bonneville/Streamliner Go-Kart Combo

[tim boyd]

Picked out these models for a few combo photos.  

The Kart and Bike were both featured in a full buildup article in Model Cars mag around 2010 or so.  These were buildups of Replicas and Miniatures Company of Maryland resin rebops of the premiums in the AMT 1963 Ford and Chevy pickup annual kits.  

The trailer was a gluebomb save from a 1964 AMT Corvette annual kit....(if I am remembering correctly, basically the same trailer, albeit with dual axles, can be found in the AMT Barris Fireball 500 Barracuda custom roadster kit and its mid 2000's reissue). 

All but the trailer are painted Testors Lacquer 1963/4 Chevy Silver Blue Metallic, which is the exact same paint formula as 1964 Oldsmobile Wedgewood Blue Metallic, and is a perfect match with my 1/1 scale 1964 GM paint chip colors manual. 

Just finished the car which is a buildup of the new Round 2 release of the AMT 1964 Olds Cutlass Convertible.  (You can read my full preview of that kit, prior to assembly,  here.   If you are a subscriber to FineScale Modeler magazine there is also a full buildup of the Olds kit posted at their website.)   The kit should be available in the stores/online within a few weeks...

Thanks for looking....TIM

Really great models Tim.  I would love to see an unloaded picture of the trailer. Can the cart still be bought?

Carl...here you go...

 

As for the car, yes.  You can get it two ways....just the cart (with go kart wheels and tires and without the Bonneville envelope body) in Round 2's latest release of the AMT-Ertl 1960 Chevy Pickup, or as the complete c. 1963 original 1963 Ford Pickup annual kit premium, including the Bonneville streamliner body and larger wheels/tires, as a resin rebop from Norm Veber at Replicas and Miniatures Company of Maryland....

Thanks for the comment and questions....TIM
