Lets try this again. I had to park that bloody Revell 57' kit for awhile, so now I'll give an easier, old fart friendly, AMT kit a try.  Not as much detail as the Revell kit, but at least it came w/ a decent engine. Now if I can just lay down some paint .......   |

Color !!! I finally laid down some paint that didn't suck ! Kind of a tangerine, but it's really just Auto Air yellow pearl mixed w/ a tad bit of Auto Air metallic red. No clear yet, I've got a few boogers to deal with. But it's gonna pop when cleared.  |

That is a sweet color mate, and the engine looks pretty tough too.

Very nice job on the paint. The stance makes it look mean also!

Thanks, if it were 1:1 though, speed bumps would be an issue ! It might have 3-4" scale inches of clearance at best. I think the head lights got a weee bluer than they shoyld have been, but they still look kinda cool.

Very cool color and that engine, THAT ENGINE! I think that looks awesome! Did you get that out of another kit? If so, which one?

I just bought a AMT 57 Chevy kit there was only one way to build it which is stock. But I plan on putting another engine from a kit in. I am wondering why they put decals in for the rear side coves. |

Yeah, that always got me too. Somehow it must have been cheaper to include decals instead of retooling and adding the detail. The 57' Chevy kit is a very popular kit, and might be one of AMT's oldest toolings, and very well could have had the detail once and it just wore out. |
