AMT 62 Buick Electra 225 taildragger

Had hopes for this kit. Body is great, the rest is just a sad promo. One piece interior tub all seats molded in. Frame is all one piece everything is molded in. There are 3 rim types. The continental kit is a plus. Just finished it after a year or more sitting. Thought i may try to find a frame and interior that would work. But it is done. Hope you enjoy it.

That's an appropriate color for cars of this era. You made it look good and clean. 

I've got a couple of these kits and just can't decide on what to do with it. With that roofline, it looks like it shouldve been a 4dr rather than a 2dr.

Thanks. Mettalic sea foam i think is the color.

Thanks. Mettalic sea foam i think is the color. They where big cars. Back seats like a couch and leg room galore. I wish they would make some old 4 doors kits.

These are serious land yachts! Typical kit for the time, it can still build up very nicely, as you've proven. Very clean build, and your color choices are superb and look like factory choices. Beautiful car, beautiful model. Well done.

There were a few back then, mostly by JoHan. Ironically, your Buick's roof can be used to convert the Jo-Han '62 Fleetwood four-door into a Coupe deVille.

Good to know. I have a couple of jo han wagons.

Great looking build and I like the color combination with the interior colors. You sound disappointed with the kit but remember this was "State of the art" at that time.  You did a great job of detailing the trim and adding the Continental Kit looks very timely.

Thanks. Not really disappointed, i love the body style and since there are not a lot of these yachts produced a better interior and such would be nice.
