Any one hate AMT?

[themodelkid]

AMT sucks ass!!!! Their kits are cheep and poorly made! I bought a 1993 Corvette ZR-1, and the hood fits like sh*t! I mean its likeits not even made for the car! I do have a diff spare that i'm using but god. The kit is awefull.

If you have had bad experiances (with AMT kits) please tell!

Don't hate them any more than I should....

Only ever built one AMT kit, as a favor for a friend, it was the last one I will ever build.....

[supratuner]

built 2, both sucked, never will build another

[themodelkid]

AMT should be banned from the modeling world! Lets have a vote! lol, testors products suck too.

I think AMT is better than revell. You get what you pay for.

Amt does make some good kits, you just have to find them. I have a Viper that is very well made, little casting flash and every thing fits.
I think the reason most people hate amt is that they dont want to put a little bit of effort in to making it fit right or work well. With a little work all amt kits can be made great. Any modeler can make a taymia kits look good but it takes a good modeler to make a amt or revell kit look good.

Is AMT really that bad. I just bought a '57 Vette, thinking that AMT is much better than Revell... Oh well, I am starting it soon, I hope it is okay.

I doooo. There models are absolute garbage. They have mad gaps, the instructions suck, and so many parts fit like crap.

w3rd; sometimes it's the artist and not the clay:bandit: Not all of their stuff is crap but some of it is. I will still build them because I have faith in my abilities as a modeller and because they offer subject matter I'm interested in.:grey:

All a what you said is true, i have had 1 kit that was good, the 94 sonoma, but this corvette holy crap. you couldnt fix the gap if u wanted to.

I was excited to start my '57 Vette, thinking I would finally be escaping from Monogram. Does anyone have this kit? The AMT 1957 Corvette with a black one on the box...
Oh well, I think I am going to pick up some Tamiyas...

[themodelkid]

idk how the quallity is going to be on that kit. Most AMTs varry on quality. You'll have to try it and see!

[flyonthewall]

I can't say i'm a fan! Some of their parts are often way out and a real struggle to correct. But as some people have said, it is the modeler and not the model. I definately think AMT kits should avoided by beginers, i'd recommend Tamiya everytime for anyone starting out.

i definitley have to DISagree, revell is no tamiya, but i think there is nothing worse than AMT and that why the difinition of AMT= CRAP!!!
