nascarjj Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 I haven't finished anything in quite some time, but I finally got this one off of the work bench. It was the old AMT kit of "The Champ" Mustang II funny car. I used the Slixx decals to build the Blue Max Mustang. I tried to use as much of the original kit as possible (even those nasty two piece rear slicks!) I did have to scratch build the interior tin because the original parts came nowhere near fitting right. Some after market detail stuff was thrown in along with a scratch built body stand for display. Paint was Testors custom lacquer one coat Star-Spangled blue. Enjoy the picks and thanks for looking.
brett Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Cool ,my favorite of all the blue max cars, great job on it. I didn't know AMT had ever done this body style ,though I'll get the competition resins one when I do mine
Chuck Most Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 L-O-V-E the Blue Max! Love seeing them built up this nicely, too.
Dragracer Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Nice car. The Blue Max was always one of my favorite Ford-bodied cars.
Evil Appetite Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Very cool! I wonder what the chances of Round2 bringing back some of the '70s AMT funny car kits is? ModelKing was able to get some long-lost MPC kits back, and with the new Revell funnies, and the reissue of the Polar Lights kits it would be neat to have the AMT kits back to mix-n-match parts. I contacted R2 a few months ago asking them if they're planning on releasing any of the old Pro stock kits.Told'em they're be great sellers, and the person who replied agreed. I was told there's a pretty good chance of them re-releasing the old MPC Pro Stock kits in 2012, along with other AMT material. and yes! That's a very nice Blue Max build!
oldscool Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 That is nice and didn't know AMT ever did a kit like this either. gus

As long as they don't bring back that ridiculous Nitro Charger body. The chassis was nice but the body was such a joke that even as a 12 year old I threw it in the trash and put the chassis under a Mustang body. gus
hOLMS Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Awesome build.....love the stand too!! I'll have to try one of them.
Steve Prideaux Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Very nice build. The detail is great!. Nice job. Steve
