Back
to AMT for another lovely kit with a few flaws. We ended up with four crates
of these, as the first batch came with really serious sink marks in critical areas, like the tail-light panels. Not one to shrink from a science project, I decided to take four of the rejects and carry out putty
tests. After fourteen years, yes, the blue one shrank a bit, two (red and bronze)
seem to be stable and the green one is too hideous to show. Which putties, you
ask? A+B epoxy, Canadian Tire, Tamiya and I forget the other. I wrote them down on the inside of each body. D’oh! The bronze and red ‘Vettes both have seats of polished primer, a nice effect
that I continue to use wherever possible.
