Which 1/25 kit has hood hinges in the open position?

[Matt T.]

I seem to remember a kit having open hinges as a hood-up display option. '60 Starliner maybe? Am I imagining this? Thanks.

Several kits have them, the Revell 67 GTX, for one.

Quite a few of the newer released AMT kits have the hood open "hinges"!

(Not re-releases for obvious reasons)

Both the Edsel and '60 Ford do, as you suggest. Unfortunately neither of those looks anything like current hood hinges so using them on a ’69 Camaro makes no sense.

However… the 1962 Catalina, also from AMT, has perfect hood “hinges†for use on nearly any car through the 80’s.

Trumpeter also jumped on this band wagon of casting open “hingesâ€, which they put in both the Pontiac kits should the photoetch working hinges prove too difficult…. :roll:

Thanks guys. I've got all these kits, so I'll check them out tonight.

I want to fab up a setup to have a hood-up display option for my '68 Firebird. I'll post pics when I do it.
