i have built this as the lindberg kit and have not as an amt kit, but i can imagine the lindberg styrene would be a different composite making it just a bit more harder and slightly more brittle, which is partly why with amt's softer styrene it looks super crisp, other than some of older amt kits haveing less parts or relief details, they have always been a top notch company for kits, yeah revell is good, but there is just something cool about good amt kits, especially the additional stuff in kits, like trailers and tools and so much more. glad you are enjoying the kit enough to convey your excitement through to us viewers as it really is a great kit.
I feel the same way. The Revell kits are good, but they're just boring most of the time. If I build an old muscle car, I want it to have some personality, like somebody drove it hard. That's why I love the old 3-n-1 kits. And MPC kits can be simplistic sometimes and not have the perfect dimensions; but they made kits with some pop to them.
It's almost like we're being watched. I think you will enjoy it; I've only gotten positive feedback for people that have built it. Thanks for watching brother.
Awesome, I just finished a 66 nova ss and 57 Chevy cameo pick up. Starting a 67 chevelle ss. Can't wait to go purchase the 66 chevelle ss. I have a 66 Malibu parked in the garage. My favorite cars.
You had me at the beginning. I was thinking you was going to hate this kit. Thank you for your input and review on the kit. Have a great weekend my friend 👊👊👊👍👍👍
So many people have been posting negative videos on kits lately, that I thought it would be funny to start mine like that. I'm glad you liked it and thank you so much for watching brother.
I recently completed this kit. It's currently in the member gallery for AMT 1342 on the Hobbylinc web site if you would like to check it out. I would post the link but TH-cam will not post my comments with the link. The Chevelle I completed is the light blue one with the CT license tag. I thought the kit was ok. The front bumper was fiddley to align and attach--I had to cut the outer edges of the chassis for it to fit the way I wanted it to. I also bought the AMT redline tires and mag wheel kit. Also the door lines and trunk were scribed for better definition.
Thanks for such a great unboxing. You have sold me on the kit when no one else did. Seems like other channels who do unboxings want to complain about a kit. I will subscribe. Keep up the good work!
I had thought about getting this kit, but really wanted to see if the hood worked or was open. Because I can put the 1967 Chevelle SS with the 1966 Chevelle with the tubed wheels. Have stock interior with drag exterior. I will paint mine red. Oh what fun. Thanks for the video. Very informative for me
It looks like the old Lindberg kit from almost 20 years ago. It was a lot of fun to build and I should know built several from Lindberg and AMT and it's nice to see it again.
They are not “Traction Bars” they are “Control Arms”……. Besides that, awesome video and I just bought this kit. Was scared it would be a typical crappy detailed AMT tub interior kit. But I must say I am impressed and excited to build it! Thanks for an excellent review!
Looks amazing. Definitely one on my list to get. Almost bought it the other day but got the Revell 1970 Buick instead. Was afraid by the title you were gonna bad mouth this one, pleasantly surprised!!!!! You made a sale for AMT!
Thanks. Like I said, I have never built a Lindberg labeled kit before; but if this is their typical quality, then I'm sold on them. Thanks for watching brother. 👍
That's a awesome kit. Reminds me of the 1960 chevy pickup i just built. The chassis went together pretty much friction fit and i just added a little tamiya extra thin, done ✔ 👍
I have that same kit, but it's down the list a ways. Maybe, I should bump it up past the other trucks. Or save it until after a frustrating build as a reliever. Thanks for watching brother.
The appeal of all the 1966 Chevelle kits is that for those that do kit-bashing and scratch building - this particular kit offers a good amount of versatile components that work well on many different projects. Having several in your stash will insure that you will have "just the right part" when you need it. Also looks good as box stock build.
I have had a similar experience with a few Lindbergh kits, and also Lindbergh re labeled as AMT as well as MPC repops (the MPC Supra kit is AMAZING!). but it seems very hit and miss, I have only been in modeling for less than 5 years so don't have the wealth of info some of our builders do, all I know is its easy to recognize quality, and garbage. the details on my Lindbergh Maverick (also color me gone) and fitment was absolutely stellar. same thick plastic feel, crisp details and panels, hardly any prep at all, just basically built itself. again, kind of a newb myself but I chalk it all up to money. bottom lines and bean counters, over time corners get cut, changes made and quality sufferers. happens all the time basically everywhere. now, is it worth 40 bucks>? oooph...thats an entirely different can of worms but ill be considering it now!
I'm so bad, I started playing around with two more new kits today. I really need to stop doing this and finish what I have already started. Some of it is the cold wet weather we have been having. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it brother.
I think my hobby might have this kit. I should build his car as xmas gift. Can't promise but if I can i'll email you his car and pics thank you for video describing how great it is.
Awesome thank you for the sub! My dad raced dirt track throughout my childhood. I plan of doing an interview with him about it, once I get an actual camera. Thank you for watching.
I hope they do, some of them really need fixed before they sell them. I worry about people getting their first kit and it's a worn-out mold. But this one has been great. Thanks for watching.
Great review 😁 I missed that one when it was readily available from Lindberg (I'm just assuming it's the same kit, I don't really know), so I had it pre-ordered at Roundup when it was first announced, but I haven't cracked it open to look inside, I'm glad to hear it's a good one. I'm looking forward to seeing yours built 😊✌️
cool looks like an easy kitt too do no chassis work thats always a plus.....just do the interior and engine and your good too looks like an easy kitt too do...
If their other kits are this good, then I am sold on them. I'm really happy with this one so far. Thank you for watching my videos brother, I appreciate it so much.
@@modelcars2978 Lindberg became better in the 90s. They weren't that detailed before that. From what I heard some ex employees of AMT took over Lindberg back then and this was one of their first kits along with the 62 Bel Aire, 53 Ford, Dodge 330, 64 Belvedere and a few others. Those kits have recently been re-released by Round 2 as they purchased Lindberg a few years ago.
I still have an original Lindberg kit here and the PE set is in the box. I dont think I could build this kit without it at this point. It makes such a difference.
This really looks like a great kit. I think I’m going to pick it up. Have you tried the supernatural impala. That is one kit that I love from amt. if you liked this one you will probably like that one.
I would not write off an entire company because some of their kits are 50 years old and were engineered a long time ago and have been repoped many times. AMT does have really nice kits of subjects no one else makes.
Trying to get the front bumper to fit was a challenge. Very disappointed since it was one of the last steps.Terrible fit to the chassis as well. Ruined the build. Oh well. Never will try this kit again. Usually I'll give one a second chance since it could well have been me. Not this time.
You are so right!!! This is the best engineered kit I have ever seen. Thumbs up to AMT. ALL THEIR KITS SHOULD BE THIS GOOD!!
Thanks for watching.🤓👍

It definitely looks like a great kit to build. Looks like AMT hit a “home run” with that one. Thanks for sharing.
I've really been enjoying the build. Thanks for watching brother!
AMT did not hit the "homerun"it was Lindbergh!😉
@@williwass6837 Your right, I had forgot about that.

Thanks for watching brother. Those are all beautiful, great era for American cars.
I did this one about a month ago... Other than some fitment issues with the front bumper it was an absolute blast to build!!
I watched your build. It turned out great.
An extremely well detailed kit too.. I must say one of AMTs best efforts!! (Even though it was originally a Lindberg kit)
Indeed it is!

I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
Cool. Nice to see nice clean kit. Thanks for the review. ~ Thomas
It's a refreshing kit to work with for sure. Thanks for watching brother!
It's a Nice kit. Glad to hear your enjoying the build. I'll be watching

I've gotten a lot of similar feedback. Everyone that has built it, has said that they enjoyed it. Thanks for watching brother, I appreciate it.
I have built 2 of these and both were enjoyable. First was box stock and the second was high detail.
Thanks for watching, I appreciate it. I'm just going to swap out the wheels on this on. I have another kit, but I don't have any plans for it yet.
Really does look like nice kit to build have fun with it enjoy👍👍
It has been a refreshing kit to work with. I wish they all could be this nice. Thank you for watching my videos brother.

Let me know what you think of yours. All the feedback I have gotten so far has been positive towards the kit. Thank you for watching brother.
I will let you know how it goes! Thanks for the tip about the alternator, Sometimes I build without looking at instructions out of habit.😜
Looks amazing. Definitely one on my list to get. Almost bought it the other day but got the Revell 1970 Buick instead. Was afraid by the title you were gonna bad mouth this one, pleasantly surprised!!!!! You made a sale for AMT!
Judging by the comments, everybody that has built one has really liked it. I only wish for some options. Thanks for watching.
Yes Sir, looks like the Lindberg kit I have 2 of that car. Really need to build one.. Great video review 😎👍

"Sneak in the house" made me laugh, I know what you mean. Thanks for watching brother.
Nice!! I may get this kit one day
I really like it and they have them at my Hobby Lobby. Thanks for watching.
I agree with you about really enjoying manipulating the styrene. It's probably my favorite part of the hobby also.

Just started watching your videos and gave you a sub, really liked the camaro dirt car video, that's what I like to build mostly.
Awesome thank you for the sub! My dad raced dirt track throughout my childhood. I plan of doing an interview with him about it, once I get an actual camera. Thank you for watching.
Very clean job man
Thank you very much.
Looks like a terrific kit. I think Round2 is working a lot to improve their molds.
I hope they do, some of them really need fixed before they sell them. I worry about people getting their first kit and it's a worn-out mold. But this one has been great. Thanks for watching.

Several people have told me that it is the same Lindberg kit, and my Hobby Lobby has been carrying it. Thank you for watching.
Yes it was a Lindbergh Kit,and much cheaper under that brand(around 10 Dollars)
Nice review, good points, BUT… the name of the old company was Jo Han, named after owner/founder John Hanley. No ‘yo’ involved.
Thanks for watching and thank you for the correction.
Hit the chrome with matte or semigloss clear to knock down the brightness.
Thanks for watching.🤓👍
Yeah I built that kit into a small block Malibu about a year ago and it’s a great kit and yes it’s a repop of the Lindberg kit.
Thanks for watching brother. Did you post a video of your build?

I'm behind on your videos and pretty much everyone else, but I know I watched that one.
As much as I hate AMT it looks like a descent kit. Might have to check it out.
