September 15, 2013

What I like about this kit is the level of detail. It does include several different parts. For instance, the body trim is entirely moulded in separate chromed parts, well at least most the body trim (the trim around the windows is moulded into the body as usual). I didn’t have the chance to build […]

I would like to share this kit review with you. This maby isn’t the best kit of the history, but it is surely fun to build! This kit a very similar to the 37 Ford Sedan I’ve reviewed some time ago. The kit hasn’t many parts, but the parts are quite well moulded. The issue is, though, […]

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 […]

1937 Ford Sedan 1/24 by Monogram

This kit is basically only a custom, so you won’t be able to build it original – or not without some extra work. The body is pretty much ok. There aren’t many details on this car anyway, but the few details are well moulded. Maybe the door hinges are a bit too big, but other […]

I remember that my brother bought this very same kit a long time ago (15 years ago, I guess). It was an antique kit, the box was actually smaller than this re-edition for Revell 50th anniversary. I saw the re issue one day while checking out the local hobby store and bought it… just because […]

Kit Review – Dodge LT 700 & Ford 40 Coupe

I bought this kit for my brother as a Christmas present last year. To be honest, I didn’t know what to expect, but the kit wasn’t really expensive anyway – 23 USD is just a little more than a single car kit and we are talking about a truck, a semi and a car here. […]

Kit Review – Lindberg Ford Model T Pickup

I bought this kit pretty much blind from a catalogue. There wasn’t much information there other than it was a Model T pickup and in scale 1/24. The reason I wanted a Model T Pickup was because of the one Model T in my Grandpa’s junkyard. I loved that little truck (there is a picture […]

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 […]

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 […]

  So, I’ve started this projet yesterday. It is about building three “almost” identical Mustangs. This project is based on the 64 1/2 Mustang Kit from Revell Monogram (I wrote a review on this kit a while ago). While building this kit, I realized some things that you may want to pay attention to. Generally, […]

Mack R685ST AMT 1/25 Kit Review

June 11, 2011
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 […]

64 Ford Mustang Convertible 1/25 from Revell Monogram

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 […]
