This is a very cool kit. There are a few Mustang kits around and this is one of the best that I know of – together with the Convertible I’ve shown you in a previous post. The body is pretty good. The body details, such as the emblems, are very well detailed, but pretty thin [...]

I bought this kit as a Christmas present for my brother – who always got just shirts, socks and scarfs and was finally hoping for the rest of us to think of something else (hands up if you feel the same). This is one of the kits I always wanted to buy but still passed [...]

Many of you may remember the 1932 Ford Street Rod by Monogram from years ago. I can recall my brother building that car about 20 years ago. The kit was great back then. I bought it some time later. Now, why bothering getting the 32 Ford 5-Window Coupe by Revell then? It is a very [...]

I’ve ordered this kit some weeks ago. I was actually thinking of buying a Dodge truck, but then I changed my mind and I’m really happy this Ford by AMT! As you can see above, the box is done in “retro look”, which makes the good old days come up again. It gives you the [...]

Some weeks ago, I was walking around a flea market close to where I live. I never expect to find scale models, because there aren’t many people doing this in this area. So when I saw this kit in that stand, my day was done Since the kit is in a very good condition (and [...]

Although this kit isn’t the most modern one and the car isn’t the most “muscle-like” one, I sill thing it is kind of special – both as a kit and as car. For the junker fans: this car has a fiber glass body, so hold back your junk model car weathering here The body is [...]

One day, surfing the net, I found a forum discussion about resin bodies from somewhere called Resin Realm by Jerry. As I visited the site, I was stunned! Jerry has a variety of bodies that could make any junkyard diorama look like out of this world! Let me show you a few examples:   This is a [...]

This kit is labeled “Special Edition Series”. And in comparison with the average scale kit, this one is surely special. I wanted to buy since I first saw it! This kit features a 150 Chevy Utlity Sedan (which you can also build as the Black Widow Stock Car). The 150 Chevy Utility Sedan – also called Handyman [...]

Thumbnail image for Mack R685ST AMT 1/25 Kit Review

This is a nice AMT Kit, with a few extras but no big surprises. I tried to figure out which year this truck could be, but Mack manufactured pretty much the same R685ST for several years (at least mid seventies to mid eighties) – so I couldn’t find out the year this truck is supposed [...]

58 Chevy Impala Revell Lowrider Series 1/25

Thumbnail image for 58 Chevy Impala Revell Lowrider Series 1/25

As the title says, this is a lowrider kit. Hoever, you can build the car stock too. Although there are some low rider kits around, they aren’t that many, so this may be great feature to build this kit or to take parts for kit bashing. But that is not the only thing that makes [...]

I love this kit. Not only because it is 64 Ford Mustang, which is my favorite car, but also because of the kit itself. First of all, the box is just awesome. It comes in a full color sheet metal box. The box alone, with the art work on top, is already worth the purchase. [...]

The Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria surely is a charming car. You know by now that this car means something to us at Modeljunkyard. My brother wrote about his real 55 Vicky some time ago.  Now it is time to check out the kit. This kit is one of AMT’s finest, in my opinion. It has [...]

I bough this kit back in 2004 and it was one of the biggest surprises I ever had with a model kit. I didn’t know much about Trumpeter. They used to make airplanes and other military model kits, that was all I knew. This kit is one of the few cars they made so far. The [...]
