    I love the separate door panels and even separate heat shields under the exhaust? No taping or any kind of masking? I like how they had a bunch of separate parts so you could paint them easier then the usual masking. It does look like a great kit, I'm getting one or some lol.

      @@ScaleModelExperiment The complaints I hear about AMT remind me of the situation Airfix was in 10 years ago. They had some very old tooling in their range but the packaging was the same as their new stuff, a lot of people felt cheated. They started a "Vintage Classics" range with retro packaging so that you know what you're getting before you buy.

    • @ScaleModelExperiment
      @ScaleModelExperiment  2 года назад +1

      I agree! With RUclips now, you can always look up an open box review before buying a kit. There’s no excuse to bash. There are a lot of curbside kits coming soon from AMT that haven’t been out since the 60’s. Small updates were made to the tooling to clean them up but you can’t expect 25 all new tooled releases a year from any company. Rant over! Take care my friend👍

    What did you learn from the kit? What would you have done differently, building it a second time? The suspension look like it went together easy. That is RARE for AMT with their front ends falling into place.

    • @ScaleModelExperiment
      @ScaleModelExperiment  2 года назад +1

      Hi Clint, take your time with the front suspension and study the directions twice is what I suggest. It does fit together well IF you do it right. I test fit the whole kit in white glue before painting it and it gave me fits the first time. I think if I were to build another I would do a bright color instead. Thanks for watching 👍
