I have a question regarding the early-1990's release of the 1/25 AMT/Ertl 1969 Ford Talladega Torino kit. First off; I realize that this kit was a modified reissue of the AMT/Ertl 1969 Ford Torino kit, with parts added to extend the front nose of the model, and a revised chrome front headlight/grill to more accurately reflect the 1:1 Talladega version's. (I think those were the only 2 pieces in the kit that were modified, except for the decal sheet).
My question is this; has anyone ever built this kit and consider their build of it to be a "good" one?
I have never seen a built-version of this AMT/Ertl '69 Talladega posted here on the Scale Auto forum; or anywhere else for that matter! (I've seen lots of the 1/24 Monogram '69 Talladega Torino, and I know that the Monogram version is considered to be a more accurate representation of the 1:1 Talladega and a good, nicely-detailed kit to build).
Is the AMT/Ertl kit a "tough" build because the extended nose-piece does not mate-up very well with the front of the Torino body? Can anyone post a picture of their built-up AMT/Ertl Talladega for me to see? Thanks!
