G'day Guys,
Thought I'd better share my latest build with you all. I bought a couple of these old AMT Connoisseur Classic kits with the intention of continuing my series of "a stock & a rod" version of the same car kits. I decided to go the Stock version first and after I saw a pic of a 1:1 in the States in these colours, it was done. This particular kit was extremely flashy and took ages just to clean up, but after that it was a pretty straight forward build. Almost OOB as well just mods to the engine like a scratch built starter to replace the blob on the sprue, wiring, fuel lines and detail on the Generator. Oh and I had to make another steering tie rod and replace the gears they provide to make the steering work with a scratch built steering box.
