1963 Studebaker Avanti

Brad Furminger
Going to consider this one finished. There are some things I'd do better next time, but I'll take those lessons forward to my next build.

Pretty Cool, Much like in real life, a rarity ! Great Job, Bravo !

Brad Furminger
Thanks, Robert. Its unique look caught my eye when I picked it up. It's got a bit too much play in the front end but overall displays pretty well as long as you don't look under the hood.

I found that to be the trend with most AMT kits, They make all the good cars and trucks, but the quality is shotty at best in most kits !

I like it! I have this kit in the shelf too and when I see your result, I'm thinking annuity to build it in the near future. I laid it back often. It is a interesting car. It looks so different from other cars of the mid 60s.
I like your model kit as it is. Nice color, a good interior. That is totally ok. I don't mind the imperfections you mentioned. Some of my kits aren't "perfect" at all. There is often this little tiny thing, what went wrong or not perfect. But I see it like you: as far as I can live with it, who cares?

Brad Furminger
Thanks, Christian. Be sure to let me know when you start your Avanti so I can follow the build and see the end results.

Very nice result Brad. 🙂. The interior looks great!. I see on your notes you LIKE doing interiors. I wish it were feasible for you to do mine for me. I am rarely fully satisfied with mine. (unless the come prepainted LOL). Bare metal foil is my ZEN.

I have a suggestion for improvement if I may. Take the time to carefully file the sprue nubs off of wheels and rims. Those little 'tangs" showing really give away the fact that it is a model kit.

Very nice building. I love avanti's !
