"Good quick build for a good price."

This is the first model car I ever built and being in my 50's that's pretty amazing. Usually I model WWI airplanes with some WWII thrown in but recently I decided to try something different. Not wanting to be overwhelmed first time out I chose the Lindberg 1/32 Chevy Fastback. For a vintage kit, Lindberg did a great job cleaning up the molds. Detail is crisp and clear, even the make and model names appear legibly. Clear glass is that-clear with little if any distortion or scratching. Plastic flash was nearly non-existent with only a little present on the bumpers. The model went together easily enough although the chassis to body shell had to be clamped for a couple of hours to keep the chassis from popping away from the shell by the rear axle. Instructions are easy, only four steps. Step two is really the only one needed in all honesty. The biggest drawbacks to the model in my opinion are no chromed plastic ( you'll have to use metallizer if you've an airbrush or good silver paint) and no vinyl tires. Wheels are in two vertically split halves. Would I buy another in this series...you bet. Especially if I'm looking for something not all to time consuming between other models. My next car, however, will probably be either the Lindberg Plymouth Belvidere or the Dodge 330.

"Good starter/beginner kit"

J Bevill (Palm City, FL)

I used this car to create a post-apocalyptic zombie survival vehicle for a diorama I'm building. Mostly because it's in 1/32 scale and my Tamiya extra parts weapons assortment was 1/35 so the scales were not noticeably out-of-scale looking to the average person. As far as buying this to make it look like the box- I would recommend it to anyone just starting out due to the limited # of part (there's only about 20). It can easily be built in 1-2 days, maybe more depending in how much detail you really want to put in it. The instructions are very plain, as well as the paint color codes therein. I think it calls for 4 colors, black yellow silver and something else... Dark red I think? Anyway - you'll notice when you glue the body sides on to the main top part of the car body, there's a little bit of pushing/pulling just to get the seams to line up which I found can cause the body to twist. Shouldn't be a problem once you glue it to the chassis. Also, once the chassis is glued to the body, if you turn it upside down you can see straight through the front wheel axle & suspension into the area where there should be an engine. It's just dead space so I would recommend painting that whole area under the hood in black or whatever you choose. Overall, an OK kit. Good for the price if you just want something quick and easy or definitely something a young person could do as long as they know how to handle super glue or cement properly without gluing there little hands together. A great kit for an adult to assemble and just let the kids do all the painting however they want. I would recommend it for the price

"52 chevy fastback is OK"

Gage.Jones67

Overall the car was okay besides the size. It was actually smaller than my other 1/32 cars. The car is closer to like a 1/34 scale so yeah....

"Nice Kit"

rickthebear

Goes together very easily. Good for beginners. I bought this one because I had a small area on my shelf to fill, and it fits in perfect.
