AMT by Round 2 has put together a really nice three-models-in-one package here. It includes a 1963 Ford Galaxie (500) 2-door Tow Car, a 1965 Ford Falcon 'Funny Car' (though it looks like Super Stock to me 🤔) dragster -- AND a trailer!

I was on vacation down to Carlsbad Caverns last week and while doing a Fun Run at the local Wally World, I found an AMT kit of a Chevelle Funny Car (with new tooling ) in the Bargain rack. Someone had slit the plastic under the boxes edge. Kit was unopened otherwise. I haven't built a car model in over 40 yrs, ( I'm a Tank guy ) but this will bring back memories. Now if I can only find some lacquer paint for the body. Thank you for the video, Sir.

Hey, you're welcome! 😀 I was all military as a youngster, and concentrated on that when I picked up the hobby again in 2023. Now I'm expanding into cars and trucks, and these new toolings make it really fun. For this kit, I chose the Tamiya spray-can TS-54 Light Metallic Blue, and I'll use a silver Sharpie for the chromed panel lines. Check out hpiguys workshop -- www.youtube.com/@hpiguy -- he does great reviews and builds... Thanks for watching, and enjoy your build! 😀

That's a fun kit. I currently have the Falcon on my bench. These old kits have to be enjoyed for what they are ETA: those trailers were in a lot of the annual pick up truck kits and as far as I know were never offered as a stand alone kit

Hi there! 😀 Thanks for the info. I expect it will be fun, and I've already decided on a super-cool paint scheme for the set. Thanks for watching!

Dear Steve, A “drag combo” eh? I won’t elaborate on my initial thoughts, or indeed my erased ribald remarks!! Nice review by the way! Regards, Z

🤣 And to think back then THIS was on the cutting edge of 'counter-culture'... Loud, fast and cool beats out loud, weird and weirder every time for me. I was tempted to say something in the description, but this is a family show 😉-- and not the kind they put on at the public library these days... 😐Thanks, Zin! 😀
