Muscle Car "Red Line" Tires

Published: July 19, 2015
Company: Round 2 Models

AMT and Round 2 are known for their automotive kits and have been for a very, very long time. To add to their cars, here’s some really nice tires as part of their "Custom and Competition" line. Anybody building a muscle car from the ‘60’s needs a set of these puppies. You get 4 F60 x 15 and 4 L60 x 15 tires. There are no wheels in the accessory pack. I just put some Cragar SS wheels for the… more

1966 Ford Galaxie 500

Company: Round 2 Models

Round 2 hit a nice spot with the AMT 1966 Ford Galaxie 500. Build it stock, custom, or racing. The box contains all the parts to build it your way and some extra pieces for the parts box.

Engine

The kit provides enough parts to build either the stock engine or a SOHC engine. Either version does not fit together very well.

Chassis

The chassis is engraved… more

Surfite with Figure

There was no flash on this kit with lots of chrome parts.

Engine

Eighteen pieces make up the little 4 banger engine that is very well detailed with all the parts fitting extremely well.

Interior

The interior is a one piece tub that the steering column gets glued into. Very basic.

Body

The body is really small. I mean tiny, but it’s molded… more

Very little flash and the parts fit very well on this kit. I had thought about trying to fit a V8 engine but the car is just too small.

Engine

The little 4-banger engine is very well detailed with all the parts fitting extremely well.

Interior

Interior panels are very well engraved and cry out to be detailed.

Hot Rod Hydro

Company: Revell, Inc.

Revell hit a real winner with the Hot Rod Hydro kit. Very little flash and the parts fit very well.

Engine: The Hemi engine goes together extremely well. I opted to pull a dual quad intake manifold from the parts bin rather than use the 6 carb set-up in the kit.

Trailer: The trailer was slightly warped so I used very warm water to try and… more

'70 Ford Torino GT 2 'n 1

Published: February 3, 2020
Company: Revell, Inc.

The Revell 1/25 scale ’70 Ford Torino GT is a wonderful kit with very little flash to be cleaned. The engine fits together very well, and the kit gives you two sets of valve covers and two different air filters. I chose the Lynx-type filter for its lower profile. The very nice chassis has separate suspension components and exhaust pipes. I replaced the kit exhaust extensions with aluminum… more

Thames Panel Truck

Published: September 22, 2014
Company: Revell, Inc.

The Revell Thames Panel Truck is a cool little kit. There’s some flash, thin hinges, and misalignment of parts, but it’s still a very cool kit.

Engine

The engine – maybe an Olds – is set up to be built as with fuel injection. Since I planned to build a street version, I wanted something more street capable so I put a dual quad setup on top.

Chassis

Not much… more

1957 Chevy Belair Convertible

Published: February 10, 2020
Company: Revell, Inc.

This Revell ’57 Chevy is just a wonderful kit with very little, if any, flash.

Engine

The kit provides 2 small block engines but only 1 set of heads and oil pan. The parts fit together just perfectly. Instead of the single or dual quad setup, I decided to use the fuel injection pieces left over from the Revell Black Widow kit.

Chassis

Beautiful chassis that… more

Datsun Off-Road Pickup

Company: Revell, Inc.

I wanted a small pickup to haul around some of my resin parts and got a real winner with Revell’s Datsun Off-Road Pickup. Very little flash and the parts fit very well together. The instructions are a 12 page document that provides the part number with a description and a chart showing what part should be painted what color.

  • Engine: The engine is only a little 4… more

BRE Datsun 510

Company: Revell, Inc.

What a wonderful and fun kit to work with. There was very little, if any, flash on the parts.

Engine

The little 4 cylinder engine comes with some speed parts and goes together extremely well. I decided to install a small block Ford V8. Surprisingly enough, it fit right in.

Chassis

The chassis features nice detail and crisp engraving. Exhaust is a separate… more
