I've built this kit. I like the '51, but there were some problems with the fit when it came to connecting the body to the chassis. This might have been my own fault, but I think it is a kit that requires particular care in that stage of assembly. The problems can be surmounted. My version of the kit is the one where the background of the box top is white, and the car itself is a kind of golden brown colour, done up in what I take to be street rod fashion. As far as I can see, this is the same kit as what you have shown here.
Looks a lovely kit. I remember seeing those on the street when I was six and we lived in Jansenville. The only dislike I have with this kit is that stock steering wheel, which is way too thick. Will see if I can lay my hands on this kit.
Hey, AMT typically with flash? Aha! Got ya! You haven't seen Arfix, have ya? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 AMT, Monogram ..... great model kits. By the way, in this particular model, guess what? I own one exactly the same in anthracite metalic black. A beauty! No flash, no warped pieces, any and all pieces fit perfectly. And have been so the rest of my AMT model cars... 35 to be exact. Mustangs, dragsters, street machines, oldies, classics, muscle car, you name it. I'm giving you all the credit with MPC and even REVELL in some pitiful cases. Of course, I'm not saying Arfix is weak with cars; they are focused on airplanes, but man, let's be honest, Arfix are sorry pieces of plastic. So, I don't think that your approaching to AMT should be realistic.
