Review Summary
The reviews highlight a mix of positive and negative feedback about the larger scale model. Many appreciate the size for ease of detailing, clear mold lines, and minimal flashing, with some noting it as a fun and simple build suitable for various ages. However, there are concerns about poor fit of parts like doors, hood, and windshield, as well as limited customization options and flexibility issues with the convertible body.

Large size will make it easier to detail, no apparent flashing, and no cons anticipated so far no flaws found and because of it's size any flaws should be easy to rectify. My son bought this for himself because of it's size he thought would be easier to work with and it would make a nice project because he is in to '55 Chevy's. the reason for the excellent rating is because of it's condition as I said, no flashing and maybe that is because of it's scale, it has really clean crisp mold lines, no visual flaws and details are very clear. Con Is that it can only be built with the top Down there is no ragtop in the Up position And they could have included a better selection of custom accessories, Pro Is it Can be built with custom wheels, and He will probably buy another one to build as a custom as this one he is building stock.

Years ago I collected and had built all of the Amt 1/16 scale models.I Liked the size and the ease they went together.I gave this kit to a younger cousin for Christmas years ago.Turns out he never built it and thanked me for it.A few years ago he gave the complete kit back to me and told me he knew I would Enjoy it much more than he would.I am going to build it and start building my Ant 1/16 collection Back up again. I will post some pictures of the build as it goes and Completed Model pictures.They are so east and simple to assemble I would recommend this kit to any one above the age of 12 and up.Keep up the good work Amt and please keep producing Quality fun Models for us to build.
