More pics of the AMT F+F Supra

[Layla's Keeper]

I stand by the statement that AMT was and to a point is a prolific company. They have almost always (until very recently) released more kits than any other domestic auto company, regardless of quality.

Speaking against Fujimi is somewhat unfair, even though I agree somewhat. They answer to an entirely different primary market, which is probably why we won't be seeing an Eclipse from them withing the next few eons. In a sense, they're a lot like the Japanese equivalent of AMT. They blew their budget on a dream, and then muddled about with reissues and mediocre tooling for a while, but offered plenty of options so that modelers would buy their kits for parts.

Revell, on the other hand, I won't speak poorly of. They're seriously trying and I've never regretted purchasing a Revell kit. Sure, there've been times where I wanted to throw the damn thing into a wall because of fiddly fit (Orange Crate, anyone?) but the results for the price and the subject matter have let the company stay near and dear to me. Revell has done sports cars, has done imports, and has done hyper-accurate detail, it's just that now they're just getting back into the game. Trust me, it's a trick to go from rehashing Chrysler torsion bar front suspensions to feeling out the intricacies of Honda's unequal length control arm front wheel drive setup. Give them time, and they'll be releasing kits that won't just supplement imported kits in our hands, but replace. Why do I say they can do this?

Because they want to.
