I just picked up a AMT 1/64th kit still in the plastic... Happened to find it at the Turkey Rod and Run show in Daytona last weekend. $5.00 :TU: I planned to not open it... maybe if I found another one of these days I open one...
Thats the beauty of models, any color works, build it your way. I've been building and collecting for years. Any interest in a 66 Gran Sport Hardtop AMT kit? I've got a couple. Not cheap though
Man no one has crap in this town. Thought id venture out and double check local ones. phone book list about 15 hobby stores but only 2 are still around. [cept for dumb train only ones. Call it a hobby store but only sells train stuff WTF?] And the ones who did have stuff had jack, maybe 20 models total. Gotta use ebay I guess if you want anything decent.
Ok I done forgot how detailed these things are. No way its gonna be a xmas eve craft that can be finished unless you slop it together. And this was my idea. Think Im gonna hafta send them back out for snap together ones to do. Got lucky, the GSX kit I got is a 2 n 1, box had a gold GSX with dual 4s sticking out of the hood. Open the box to be suprised by 6 wheels and 8 rims in two different styles? Then I notice two hoods. But they did skimp on the decals, not providing a 2nd hood one for th standard GSX, just the one with a big oval hole. But thats ok this one is going to be a photo neg of sorts, where it should be yellow, it will be black, where it is black, it will be yellow Though one question what about paint or paints??? If I remember as a kid trying to use regular spray paint would melt the plastic body sometimes??? Do I have to get them $9 mini spray cans of tertors paint or walmart 99cent spray will work???
You have to paint the hood, from what I remember...but they have the yellow stripe decal that goes down the middle.
