Interesting concept I've not seen before. Very weird...I like weird. 🙂

The Amtronic is the car of the future as AMT thought it would look like back in 1969. AMT created this iconic concept model kit after a Detroit car show. The Amtronic is actually two vehicles in one. The two-place forward section could separate and travel on its own. For longer trips, the rear "station wagon" module would attach to the forward section for significantly more capacity. The Amtronic has aircraft-like retractable wheels. For longer range transport, this vehicle would engage a magnetic rail system that would allow the car to be propelled several hundred miles per hour. The car would generate its own lift thrust using two turbine-powered lift fans while engaged on the magnetic rail system.

Thank you Gorby and Robert Podkonski! I bought this at model swap show this past spring. Just had to have it. The only difficulty is that with retractable wheels, I have no way to keep them in the down position. Still not sure how to pose it on the shelf. I recently added some photos with the mag-lev track.

Very well done, so used to seeing a lancaster with Merlin engines. Forgot about the few with radio engines. Nice work.

You got your work cut out for you

This will be one of the easiest...

First time I'm seeing the Tamiya tyres being completely cracked up...

Should be interesting to see how you'll get along with it. Good luck!

Carlos Proença
Good question Guido.... dont know how!!!!

From my research on the subject, I will opt to use Stormsure "Black", which is more flexible.

I will prepare the edges of any cracks that run all the way through the carcass by gently roughing them up with a small file or piece of wet and dry paper, and then apply no more glue than necessary – a pin can help to get very small amounts of glue into the cracks.
