My '70 Chevelle 454

This Kit Was Purchased on Jan.3rd and completed on Jan. 7th. I searched for some painting tips and i feel this is progress from my first model I completed.

This 1:25th scale model kit manufactured by AMT ERTL is not very good, I feel the kit had too much flash and molding lines that it interupted the process of making the model. Also unlike the Revell 69 Z-28 i made for my first kit, the peices didnt fit well, the front headlight/bumper assembly fit awkwardly into the frame and the back bumper has to be mounted with care or it will look wierd as well. the pillars for the roof are too weak and i almost broke them when i was sanding it down.

All in All: I would Not buy this kit again, although i dont like AMT kits i have 3 more on the way which seem to be a bit more promising.
