Dude, that was a Monogram model!


Oops!  Didn't mean to imply that it was an AMT.  Monogram and Revell had the best fit and details.  I liked the AMT's because you got 3 or 4 different versions of the car with lots of extra wheels and tires to use on other models.  MPC's were the worst.

The way I remember it, Monogram had lots of specific show cars, while AMT mostly had everyday cars with the parts included to "trick 'em out" either custom or race.
And I dug the fact that one could swap parts between kits, and with a little xacto, file, and sandpaper magic, anything was possible.

I also remember running a black, '63 Corvette, (split rail removed, Doh!) as a slot car body, heavy as it was.
Then, up at the Seattle World's Fair, AMT had a hall, and they even had a  new 1/24 scale slot set.

Funny as hell!    I ran a metallic green Revell '51 Ford Anglia gasser body on a wheelie chassis.  I was always begging mom to take my brother and I out to Hobby City on Beach & Ball in Anaheim to the slot car track.  The car couldn't turn worth crap but it was sure fun on the straights!
