  Those following our blog may remember that we’ve been working on these two stock cars some time ago. The reason why I didn’t hear anything more about them, is because I was busy putting a DVD tutorial on how we’ve built these cars. Anyhow, while finishing the DVD, I took some time to do […]

I’ve heard people say that this is one of the best 57 Chevy kits around. I can surely agree on many points! I wonder what you think about that… Anyway, the kit is really good when it comes to details and parts – it has over 150 parts, while some kits barely reach the 100 […]

This kit was styled by Gene Winfield for AMT. Gene Winfield, as a car customizer, was well known for movie cars (Blade Runner, Robocop, The Last Starfighter, and some more). He joined AMT during the 60s as a consultant to design kits. This kit is one of those designed by Gene. I really like these […]

If there were model kits in heaven, this is surely one of the kits you get up there! I wish all kits would have as many options as this one. This is a must have! I always wanted to build a Model T and bought one by Lindberg a long time ago, a very disappointing kit. But […]

So, I think this is it. I’ve finished the 1956 Ford Fairlane Sunliner driven by Glenn Fireball Roberts. The weathering is done, I’ve added the ropes holding the hood and the trunk lid and finished some details. All in all, I’m happy with the car. Some  other details I’ve added are the brakets holding the […]

It has been a while since I’ve last posted something about these two racers. As you may remember from the previous posts, I had some trouble with the 1957 Chevrolet Black Widow. I had a small accident that ruined the whole paint and I had to start all over again. The paint looks pretty neat […]

I’ve built this one a long time ago. It was just a quick build. I was thinking for a while if this build was worth a blog post – and today I thought: although it isn’t one of the greatest builds around, maybe it can be of some inspiration for some of you. This model […]

Thumbnail image for 41 Plymouth by AMT – Finished Build and Building Tips

I’ve built this model right after the 40 Ford and the 57 Ford junker plus sofa. So this was my third junk scale model. The idea was to make a simple build. So I didn’t put much extra effort on scratch building parts or anything else. Still, I did take the time to cut the […]

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 […]

The first time I saw this kit was a real long time ago. My brother and I were still teenagers. We had picked the kit in one of our favorites stores back then. At home, we were really amazed about it. My brother built that one pretty much the same as shown on the box. […]

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 […]

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 […]

This 36 Ford is based on the 3-in-1 AMT kit many of you know. It took me some time to figure out how I wanted to build this car – specially while thinking about the question “fenders / no fenders”. I went for “no fenders”, as you can see. I saved the fenders for the […]

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 […]
