doorsovdoon Posted May 31, 2021 Posted May 31, 2021 Not much in the box with this kit except a few decals, but there is a squirrel animal toy included on the sprue and I love those things. The little toy mascots, or whatever you want to call them that AMT used to include, I think were great and would love to see more of that from Round2. I originally painted the car grey with a white roof but it looked too bland and boring, so after stripping it and painting it red and white I thought it looked like a fire chiefs car, so that's what I did with it. I had a lot of fun adding all the accessories, though I wish I had stacked the side decals on one door rather than across both front and back. The gumball roof light and siren is from the Monogram 1957 Del Rio wagon police option, the CB areal is a scratch build from various bits of plastic for the bracket and a length of solder wire. For a basic curbside kit it's not bad at all, parts like the grill and especially the dashboard are very nicely detailed.
doorsovdoon Posted June 1, 2021 Author Posted June 1, 2021 Cheers, guys. I've been wanting to build this kit since it was released. I had so many concepts running through my head with this one. Amblewagon, woody wagon, voting campaign car with the loudspeaker on the roof, radio reporters car, I couldn't wait to pick it up, lol.
