What kit is it?

[TarheelRick]

I was rummaging through some boxes trying to find some parts. When I opened my AMT 34 Ford kit I found three bodies. One is the stock 5 window coupe. The other two are factory chopped 3-window coupes, molded in red with opening trunk lids. What kit are the two red ones from?

Got any Pics?

Might be the Revell, Buttera '34.

The Revell '34 Does have an opening Trunk Lid.

Here are the directions.

If those two are noticeably smaller than the AMT body, then they are indeed from the Revell '34 kit.  If they are a bit bigger, they could be Monogram ZZ Top Eliminator kit bodies.  Those also have a separate roof and trunk lid.

Just eyeballing the two together the red ones are 2 frog hairs longer and maybe one frog hair wider than the AMT. So, I guess they are the Monogram ZZ-Top bodies. Thanks for the answers.
