Burnout Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) AMT '62 Catalina built pretty much out of the box except for the wheels, tires, and brakes which are from a Revell '32 Ford. This is a pretty well engineered kit which went together well. I had a little trouble with the final assembly but eventually it all went together. If accuracy is important to you, the paint detailing could be a bit of work. I tried to do the tri-color interior but didn't like the results. I did it over and settled for a two-tone which was good enough for me. Thanks for looking, KB Edited February 25, 2013 by Burnout
Grant Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 sweet ride! The wheels are perfect for this build too ...
Sixgunner68 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Very cool! You did a great job on this one.
Rob Hall Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Sharp...I like the color and wheel & tire choices.
Harry P. Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Nicely done all around, the interior detail is especially nice.
Erik Smith Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 That is a nice, cleanly built, well detailed model. Great work.
Sixties Sam Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Great clean build! The interior looks like you could crawl in and drive away! The magazine on the seat is a nice touch. Great paint and engine detail, too! Sam
Burnout Posted February 26, 2013 Author Posted February 26, 2013 Thanks for all the kind comments everybody. The magazine on the front seat is a photocopy of a Hot Rod mag from 1962. In it there is a full page ad for the '62 Catalina touting the various options available to everyman up to the ultimate - the 421 SD package.
shucky Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Looks awesome! Nice and clean and stance is right also! Very cool.
Simon Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Beautiful! Love the seatbelts. I have this kit in my stash, and I have a built Revell 32 Ford in the spares box.... a plan is forming! Thanks for the inspiration.
