JustBill Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 AMT box stock with the exception of a few aftermarket decals...
Shunter Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Looks good, they are not the best of kits so you have done well to make it look soooo good. Well done.
bbowser Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Great model. Nice clean paint and decal work. I like it a lot.
JFortner5 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Very nice, I forgot he ever drove a Chevrolet.
JustBill Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 Thank ya folks! This thing fought me every step of the way, I even had to use a knife to remove the clear factory plastic from the box. I'm scarred for life! I don't have the desire to ever indulge in an AMT again.
Dragline Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Awwwwwwwwww Yeahhh! That's my bro kicking it out. What a tough kit that can be. SKILLZ.... Bob
Scuderia Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Yeah I tried a 90s era AMT Nascar and I gave up. Plus my decals were poo. Great job finishing it off

acmiaz Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Great job on the AMT kit I always liked their interiors. The Thunderbirds body shape was weird too. But your Lumina looks just fine.
JustBill Posted January 22, 2013 Author Posted January 22, 2013 The only thing I ever liked about the AMT NASCAR kits were that they came with the gas can and jack lol Haha! That's looking on the bright side. I'm planning a shop dio so they will come in handy for sure. These decals were ok I guess, I sprayed three coats of Testers 1261 clear on the sheet as soon as I pulled them out of the box. They didn't take to solvaset at all, when I tried using the solution it just wrinkled up the decals and they wouldn't smooth back out. So I used thinned white glue and my wife's hair dryer to apply the decals. Thanks again for the comments.
Scuderia Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 The only thing I ever liked about the AMT NASCAR kits were that they came with the gas can and jack lol True that lol. I did like the opening trunk, but the rest was fiddly-rubbish and not pleasant at all. When I tried mine it was the days before I thought to pre-clear my decals so I was out of luck.
krazyglu Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Look's awesome Bill, I really like the paint scheme on this car and I have no idea how you made the decal's work. The underside is really nice looking as well, great job on a rough kit.
