AMT Cyclone

[Horrorshow]

Does anyone have any information about this kit? Is it good? Are there issues with it?

Thanks

  I think it's a good nascar kit.  It only builds as a nascar kit.  However, in the box you will find a set of chrome slotted rally wheels and tail lights.  Decals, let you build a Grone's sponsored Cyclone or a Wendell Scott #34 car. I'm doing the Scott car.  Almost done with it.

 The Allison kit is a good kit as well.  Pretty much the same as the Grone's Cyclone.  However, the gold number 21 decals are a solid gold and not the reflective gold.  The Salvino's Allison 1971 Dodge Charger Nascar kit has the correct reflective gold 1 and 2 numbers , but are the wrong font.  I beleive one of the decal makes a correct Allison Cyclone decal set with the reflective gold numbers.  Something to check into if you are looking for accuracy.

Maybe a retooled stock 1970-71 Cyclone will be one of Round2's surprises for 2023, followed by a 1968-69 Torino hardtop/convertible and '68 Indy Pace Car.  Then in 2024 they can tool up a 1969 Cyclone GT and Cyclone Spoiler Dan Gurney/Cale Yarborough Special or a Cyclone Spoiler II.

One of the issues (I think it was the Model King) had the chassis from the MPC Southern Stocker series of kits, which had been shortened to the 110" wheelbase. The Wood Brothers kit was repaired to the correct wheelbase, IIRC.

Look for set of these. Mike is sold out of them maybe someone has a set available.

I think a better way to get a retooled 70-71 Cyclone is for Revell to use the 70 Torino GT/Cobra tool for the chassis and engine.

Missing link and Gerry Chevalier have cast their recent resin Cyclone trans kits to use the Revell chassis.

Is this a stock body on the generic NASCAR chassis? If so I'm thinking of some cool projects I could do.

[stavanzer]

Yes, Gary it is a "Mostly" stock looking body. I have the kit, but it is buried right now, I'd tell you more.
