Kit Review: AMT F & F Eclipse plastic kit. - Page 2

tonioseven · 08-13-2003, 09:59 AM

I'm just interested in a good Eclipse to build sans the decals and wheels.

Looks like Revell has the better shape to me.

I know this is not exactly related to the model, but WHY DOES THIS FRONT ENGINE CAR HAVE A ROOF SCOOP???????? Is it as i suspect, just another tasteless boyracer add on with no practical function?

Look, a tasteful car!!!!!!!

The same reason head lights on a 928 point straight up to the sky when there off, It's just to be different. No more tasteless, impractical, model unrelated questions from you, okay?

Not to mention lots of perfectly good front engine rally cars have roof scoops.

Sorry, it looks cool to me, and a roof scoop can provide a bit of ventilation, not just engine cooling.

There are tons of things in the world far more worthy of being bothered over

They're just now hitting the shelves in the US. Wal Mart (and Target of all places) have the Supra kit, so the Eclipse should be available pretty much everywhere before long.

You can never tell, usually it's every couple of months or so, sometimes more often, sometimes less often. Their weekly sales are nationwide, so checking their website for the sale every week will tell you when the next sale is. They've had a good number of 1/2 off sales this year, sometimes it's only 1/3 off.

How do the chassis compare? Can they be swapped, to make the AMT kit AWD?
