AMT 1966 Ford Galaxie

I'm considering this kit for my next showroom stock build. As you all know there are several releases of this kit. I'm looking for your knowledge and opinions regarding these releases before I get started. Thanks in advance !

The second one from the top will probably be molded in red, which is often tougher to paint in some other colors.  The one below it will be light gray, the other two will be white.  I'd get one of the white ones, those will have better decals and tires.

What Mark said. Wonderful kit overall.

That's great in for Mark, thanks !!!!

One of the newer ones is molded in green. That one has a great roll cage and other racing parts in it.

The last '66 I built (stock car) I grafted a '65 front clip onto it so the wheels would steer.

The green one is the "Jolly Green Gasser", which is a '65.  Different kit.

I bought the top kit ( flowery artwork ) from Amazon for about$30. It looks good, even the stock OEM tires look right.

I have the Bottom Boxing, from several years ago. Great Kit!
