AMT Silhouette

[Dave B]

Just a few pics of one of my favourite re-released AMT kits built in 2010. Since Photobucket removed third party hosting the pics had gone and I noticed a request September this year (2017) for the pics so here they are.

Very nice! Great paint work.

[Dan Helferich]

Man that's nice! Great paint work. I also like the way you backdated it with the nailhead to the way it was before Ford owned it. I like it a lot!

Dave,

Super Job ! I've never seen a completed model of the car before, it was well worth the wait !

[Eshaver]

Dave , I found a copy of the Peterson Publishing Company - Custom Car Yearbook #1 several years back. You really nailed that one dead on ! You get the four hubcap award today .....Ed Shaver

I noticed that, too- doesn't the kit actually contain a 427 FE? The reissued I've seen all had one.

Tks Guys, glad you all liked it. Yes it did come with the Ford, the nail head came out of the spare parts box, home made manifold & aluminium tube for injectors. I built the original release when I was a kid but that's long gone. Didn't look as nice either!!

Great Paint and build, brings back fond memories of my youth when it was first released!!!

[Bruce Poage]

How timely as I was looking fo reference photos yesterday and voila--there they were. Nice work. in the mid 80's my younger son thought he would like to build a model. That is the one he picked. He got as far as assembling and painting the motor. He is a meteorolgist and interested more in science and math things. But I have kept this in my stash. I decided it was time to build. Mine won't like as good as yours but I was particularly interested in the dash configuration. The directions aren't too good but your photos help a bunch.

nice work

[charlzrocks]

Impressive build quality on this one! Great looking car!

[RatRod]

Years ago a good friend of mine built this version of this car, and I was shocked to see yet another beautiful build!!! Your build is perfect!!! It's really great to see these old kits built with this caliber of quality.

[Mr. Metallic]

Dave B, , can you fix the link to your pics so we can see the build again? Thanks!

I'm glad you replaced the photos. Very cool build just like the cover of the 1963 Petersen's Custom Cars annual. I also like how you put a nailhead buick in just like he originally built it.
