This AMT kit turned out to have a few challenges which caught me off guard -- it is not smart to go into these things thinking it will be "easy", just because one has completed some MFH kits without making too big a mess. But it still turned out OK.
The box includes a Ford F100 and a trailer, still to come.
Also of interest is the comparison between this AMT kit, at 1/25, and the Fujimi kit at 1/24.
Fujimi 427 Cobra at 1/24: wheelbase of the kit is 95.5 mm which scales to 90.25” +/- 0.47”
AMT 289 Cobra at 1/25: wheelbase of the kit is 90.5 mm which scales to 89.0” +/- 0.49”
Actual wheelbase was 90”, so the Fujimi is accurate to within 0.5 mm (accuracy of my ruler), while the AMT is 1 mm short. Still the difference is striking.
Finally I see from the photos that I have lost a wheel knockoff. Gah! Nowhere to be found in the cleanup of the bench.
What's next? Hard to say! Perhaps converting the F100 to COE crew cab configuration. Stay tuned.
