Any fitment problems, with this kit?

Phil M
everything fit very well, it feels like a very good revell kit.

But i had so many problem with the paint, i first used enamel color ( silver and candy color from acclad) and three times it refused to dry after the color or after the clear (2k), weird as it worked very well on other models from revell...i finally used a tamiya spray lacquer...so I dont know if its the plastic or i was super unlucky three times in a row...also the decals are really bad, you can see through and they break easily.

Its not a tamiya kit, but its a great one, especially compared to other AMT release.

Bozzer
I've just purchased the police version. It's great to hear, that AMT are breaking new ground and producing excellent models.

Bozzer
I'll hop on this ride. It's a kit, on my list.

Beautiful colors!

Guy Rump
Lovely job! 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Very nice camo indeed.
Any comments on the kit's fit? I've seen various reviews.

Rando
I have this very kit and am planning to build it soon! How did you get such fine painting on the instrument panel? It looks amazing!

KyMustang
Thanks Rando. I dry-brushed dark grey and white on the instrument faces and then picked out some buttons and placards with a very fine brush. Dry-brushing highlighted some areas that I didn't want highlighted so I came back with some flat black and repainted the "rim" around the flight instruments.

Each of the dials will get a drop of clear later. Check out my album on the Revell P-51D for another panel if you're interested.

Rando
Great to hear about how you did this, and I definitely will!

Rando
Very nice! I think you have the right idea of not attaching the seat yet since it's so flimsy…maybe I'll carefully remove mine. How did fitting that radio part work out for you? Did it go in like we discussed?

KyMustang
Thanks. Yeah it'll go in later along with the rollover bar. Also gives me time to scratch seatbelts.

The rear radio rack went perfectly above and behind the main rack. It fits under the horizontal "stringer" aft of the main radio deck.

Your struggle seems to be coming along in excellent fashion!!!! Keep it up! 👍

KyMustang
Thanks for the encouragement. I have four more of these Allison birds in the stash and this is the variant I like the least….so on the upside, I'm learning a lot for the others! 😂

Desert Marlin
True model building!!!

Rando
Nice smooth finish you got with the primer there. Gonna be a nice paint job!

KyMustang
Thanks! Looking forward to getting some paint down. Though I think Mr. Surfacer deserves more credit for the primer finish than Mr. KyMustang!

Desert Marlin
Mr. Surfacer works really well! I like using the PostIt Notes for making...

Rando
Looking really good!!
