hey, i just picked up a 240z revell model, looks great. just wish it had louvers!
I’ll have to agree with mississippivol concerning the '67 GTO. It has a lot of fit issues, even the axle holes are drilled in the wrong places. The Revell '66 kit is much, much nicer.
Personally, the subject is more important to me than the quality of the kit. A crappy kit is just that much more of a challenge.
Even a bad plastic kit is better than trying to carve a car out of a block of wood!
I think that AMT is great! Wide range of subjects, cheap, (I’ve bought several AMT’s just for the extra parts). Yep, they leave alot to be desired sometimes, but so what? Thats why we own saws and sandpaper.
The one AMT kit that really jerked me was the 72 GMC pick up. The second I opened up the box, I started looking for the razor saw. The cab inner fender wells are way off the mark, so I had to cut em out, and vacuform new ones, once that was done, (and 400 hours later), that truck won everything wherever it went.
At least I know what I’m in for when I buy one.

Well I’ve built the older AMT’s and the newer releases, the older ones need a lot of help as for the newer ones their are really nicely engineered, and praticlly fall together, as with all model companies they still pump out the oldies but goodies (inwhich are a Pain to build) and then they get a major up grade and start pumping out some really great kits
