Ummmm... It's a Revell kit, it is brand new and IMO it is as good as the AMT 62 Pontiac Catalina.

This is Revell not AMT, as the Pontiac is AMT

DUH! Reading is fundamental. Thank you for pointing that little bit of information out.

Bait and switch! The AMT '62 Bel Air is about on par with the '62 Cat... can't tell you a thing about the Revell since I haven't bought one yet!

Who has this kit? I think I want one but want to know how it is. Is it better than the AMT?

It's a different kit than the AMT kits, which are a Bel Air "bubbletop" and an Impala SS convertible.

I have both of those and they're nice, well-thought out kits that build up nicely when they're completed.

The Revell '62 is a standard-issue Impala Sport Coupe. I have the 1963 kit which this tool is based off of, as they were the same frame, floors, and associated running gear. That's also a very nice, well-executed product, and from the reviews I read, also well-done. There are a couple of small glitches in the trim on the Revell kit, but overall, it seems to be very well-executed. I say buy any of the above with confidence.

This kit is based on the Revell '63?

I purchased that one thinking it was based on their excellent '64 and was disappointed to find it was cruder and had some oddities being based on a die cast

[Rick Forrester]

THANKS FOR THE INFO.WILL LOOK AND SEE IF I HAVE THE 63.

Bill Coulter and Len Carsner covered this kit pretty well, I thought.
