Very well put Antonio! I feel the same way and I've built some NASCAR Craftsman trucks and some 64 Impala Lowriders without any problems. You just have to look for them. I've seen some of the newer stuff since Racing Champions acquired AMT and its not very good. Everything is now made in China and the retail price tags are way too high for mediocre kits. I'm left wondering if China's QC department is a little lacking. -  Walter

I built an AMT/ERTL kit, '63 Chevy Impala and I loved it. I'll give you some pics when I get my new camera(Wednesday or Thursday...)
It was my first plastic kit and I think it was OK.

Hey all companies have had crap kits even Tamiya. If you go back 20 years ago you will understand (arfix was good ?) You just need a little effort and paitence. I've built most brands tamiya great when have a engine a snap kit when without a engine. revell okay some german revell are diferent than us ones. And Amt well some have been fun to build and some become a wild experiment just look at my website www.djamos69.com and see how you can turn a amt disaster into something wild
