AMT "MACH WON" Mustang FC

[skymnky721]

Happy Football day  LOL !   I added up how much Football is on today,,its around 16 hrs worth or so,,wow.  I can handle only about 4-6 hrs worth. Waiting on the lions game(  I live in a Detroit suburb}  later today,,I just finished  the AMT Mach Won  F/C.   For starters ,,youll need alot of patience  for this one,,alot of issues with this one.  But I dont want to go on about it all,,all I can say is  the design and engineering for this is  way off on many things.  But with some creative skills  and the trusty dremmel,,it can be done. Anyways,,I used tamiya orange rattle can spray for body,,tamiya purple for chassis,,and hardware store paint for the Flt Black.  The kit turned out great but like I said its an uphill climb to get there. So there it is,,the AMT   MACH ONE!!     Cheers    SS

Your model looks great. Nice details added and a very sharp build. You'd never know there were problems which is a sign of a good modeler.

Thanks folks,,I always enjoy your work as well.  Now in defense of AMT's  engineering on this,,I realize this was done back in probably early 70's or so.  So its gonna be what it is from that era,,and thats ok I guess.  As there were no computers to scale + cad stuff.  I was thinking it would be nice to have a reference book that lists  all models and when they were 1st released and by whom,,   and general info about any given kit,,sortof a history book  of all models.  Maybe I should do that myself,,as I build any kit ,one of my 1st thoughts is  " whats the history of this kit?"    There may be a book already out there about all this ,,I dont know.  But this turned out   decent for the display shelf at any rate.     Footnote///    Im just now starting the   AMT  GT350 Shelby 67 Mustang   ,,and this kit is way better detailed and engineered than the Mach Won ,,just sayin.   BTW,,The Lions beat the Commanders  on sunday  ,,so it was a good day for us here in the motor city,,lol   Cheers   SS
