Jeff Johnston Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 This was built for a friend to capture the memory of the car he drove in high school. He insisted I build it using the AMT 72 Kit, even though its a tough and rather archaic tool. I did use the Revell 1969, 396 ci engine, and used the Revell steelies and COPO caps as well. I used JS Hobby paint and I love that stuff. Cleared with 2 part Urethane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffs396 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Looks great!!! That AMT built up nicely! At least the tail panel is more accurately angled on this one than the Revell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
