Hey Kats, here is the re-release Manx, I was lucky enough to get a red sparkle plastic kit (after opening the other 3 kits in the store) shhhh don't tell anybody man lol... I painted the under side with a spray paint called Liquid Chrome & I think it looks awesome Smile

Liquid chrome is the nasty crap truckies in Australia paint their steel wheels with to make them all shiney and purty looking. Poor man's chrome plating and it shows on the truck rims. Laughing

Love the colour of the buggy!!!!!!! Excellent build I have thought seriously about getting one of these kits and after seeing yours I'm even keener.......................more money I dont need to really spend but probably will anyway!. Wink

Here's the deal on the colour Rob,

The Kats at AMT are excited to introduce the new "Katch the Kat" collector kit chase program! For select models, one kit in every master carton will be molded in a special color! This special version will not be discernible from kits molded in the standard color by outer packaging markings.

John Greczula, Brand Manager for AMT, explains, “The only way to know you've found a ‘KAT KIT’ molded in the special alternate color is by opening the box! This gives everyone a fair chance to find one of the special KAT KIT models.

The first model in the Katch the Kat program will be Grandpa Munster’s Drag-U-La, from the iconic 1960s TV show “The Munsters.” Standard production color for the coffin-shaped hot rod will be black, but the special KAT KIT chase version of this wild show rod will be molded in a dazzling translucent metallic gold plastic. One kit in every 12-piece case will be a golden Drag-U-La.

The second model in the Katch the Kat program will be the Meyers Manx dune buggy. Standard production will be molded in white, while the KAT KIT version (one model in every case) will be a brilliant metallic red plastic!

Additionally, there is an option for collectors who don’t want to leave finding a particular KAT KIT model to chance. Auto World’s online store, at http://www.autoworldstore.com, and the new retail location in Mishawaka, Indiana, will offer the uniquely colored models in a limited run at premium prices. The Drag-U-La will be available at the Auto World Store in the same metallic gold as the KAT KIT version. However, Auto World's exclusive version of AMT’s Meyers Manx kit is being produced in metallic purple, and will be available only through the Store. Auto World's limited run versions have a sticker added to the shrink wrap, indicating the special color they are molded in. Standard versions of the kits will of course be available through Auto World as well.


Now all I need is to get Luke to let me open all his kits before I buy one.......... rolf

I bought 3 of this kit from Luke...I opened one and the others are in the stash. Now I may have to go dig the other two out and open them just to see if I got all white or a sparkle one.
