1925 Ford T Chopped

I want to like this kit. The chopped T is definitely a nice body style, especially if you like rat rods.The problems with this kit are the very sparse information from the directions.They do not show where to connect various parts together at all.This is not a good kit for beginners.Also there was a lot of flash on the chrome.But if you have a little model building experience and take your time, you can end up with a pretty nice car.The other half of this model the original stock build I will probably rat rod into something crazy.

While I like the fact that one can build two complete models from this kit, the frustration level of actually building those models comes close to erasing that benefit. The parts fit is poor on the majority of the parts, and the ejector pins have been thoughtlessly placed in the molds, resulting in unsightly ejector pin marks in places that make them difficult to remove or fill. The instruction sheet is simply a rudimentary exploded view of the model, showing all the parts, including optional parts that can be used to build a given model. There are no detail views showing how parts are actually supposed to fit or be oriented to one another. With parts fit being generally so poor, it can be difficult and time-consuming to figure out if you've actually mated two parts together correctly. I can only recommend this kit for the experienced modeler who likes a challenge, and is used to reworking a poorly designed and molded kit. I wish that when Round2 re-releases an older AMT kit, they would put as much effort into cleaning up the molds, verifying that the parts actually fit together properly, and redoing the instruction sheets into a proper assembly guide as they put into doing new decal sheets, tires, and packaging.
