2000-cvpi Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I guess I need glasses, because I really like this kit. Sure it's not super detailed like some of today's new tool kits. But for it's time and the subject matter it is a good kit. Maybe I am a bit of a rose colored glasses guy, but these are the kind of models that I like lately. They are a challenge, which makes it more enjoyable for me. What fun would it be if kits just fell together every time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Smith Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Not a great kit? Well, no, it's not going to win kit of the year awards. It is what it is - a 1970's annual. I built one and have to say I somewhat enjoyed the challenge. Most, if not all, of the things mentioned Just like the real ones. Picked up one of these things. VIA "Box Art". Simple chassis. More simple engine. Hood don't fit. Front end is too wide. Seats wouldn't support an anorexic. Product of the "Slim '70's...I suppose. Yeah, guess you could spend some time and effort to make a quality build. But! Why? Waste it on a ...Gremlin? Redeeming qualities. Nice dual carb intake...adaptable to a small block Chevy. Headers...Same as above. Cragers. Tempo printed H&S slicks. Nice AMC wheels. Javelin? Other than that...too much trouble. Rant over. were well covered in the reviews and WIPs, so no surprises on kit contents! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Just a heads up if you need/want the decal sheet from this specific re-issue. It's available at the Auto World Store: https://www.autoworldstore.com/product-p/amt690decals.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
