Dave Armstrong Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 The AMT Mach Won! is being reissued, should be here very soon. I thought I'd post some pics of what I did with one of my originals. Didn't like the decals that came with it, so I made a "What If". 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeah Nah Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Love that paint Dave. Nice work! Going by the font style of the name you'd think Tasmania was in Africa. I lived there for a while and it isn't! 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattlecan Dan Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Nice build, nice paint. Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamach1 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Very nice. I wonder if the reissue will drop the $200 asking prices of the vintage kits. I’ll buy one just to get the fresh stock 70 body to build a Mach1 351 or 428 using parts from some glue bombs I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBorg Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Congrats on the courage to build a rare kit. Looks nice. A few questions....is this the same chassis as the AMT Vega? Is the body a stock body? Also, where did you source the decals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I build my rare kits all the time, they're meant to be built, not hoarded. No, the chassis is not the same. It does appear to be a stock body. I got the decals several years ago, I believe it was Bruce Sadewater; sells on Ebay https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?item=253939551761&hash=item3b1ffa0e11%3Ag%3A~osAAOSw5cNYOuy9%3Ark%3A37%3Apf%3A0&_ssn=us2014-sm&_sop=10&rt=nc&_pgn=2 Though he may not have them up right now, you could always write and make a request.

I couldn’t agree more…. Kits should be built! Thank you for sharing this beautiful build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLorange Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Fantastic build Dave! I just got the reissued kit and was wondering if you still have any of the original kit decals that you didn't use I would be interested. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally keep all of my decals , even ones I don't use; unfortunately, not only did I not particularly like these decals, they were also old and chipped from all those years in the box- so they're long gone, pitched when I built this kit, which was several years ago. If I still had them I would joyfully gift them to you! The other kits in the pic are still complete with decals in their boxes, but I'm going to keep them complete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
