AMT Chevy Blazer 'Crew Chief' 1:25 kit
Got a Squadron catalog in the mail, see NEW plastic kit:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6622069 The front bumper does not have turn signals?

Re: AMT Chevy Blazer 'Crew Chief' 1:25 kit
I learned about pavlovian extinction. Thanks!
I think the first K/5 kit AMT did was a Jimmy, and they didn't change the bumper. I don't know why, since they had to use a different grille. They were very accurate replicas for the most part, back in the day. It's nice to see these kits reproduced. I could never bust into my vintage kits

Re: AMT Chevy Blazer 'Crew Chief' 1:25 kit
I just ordered two of these from a local hobby shop. I haven't bought a plastic model kit in years. Surprised the heck out of me how much they are now. But it didn't stop me from buying them

Re: AMT Chevy Blazer 'Crew Chief' 1:25 kit
LOL You guys have no idea how the hobby has become expensive. You should price a Tamiya, or Fujimi kit.
Please post pictures of the contents!

I think this fact alone is gonna slowly kill all of these hobbies. It's just gonna become too damn expensive. Sorry for the rant.

Re: AMT Chevy Blazer 'Crew Chief' 1:25 kit
About prices, model companies have to license the names too, so that cost is factored in.
Good to know Hobby Lobby has them. Need to find a coupon.

you would think they would'nt mind representations of their stuff on models, it most certainly does'nt cut into their 1:1 sales at all, hell they used to hand them out at the dealership |

Re: AMT Chevy Blazer 'Crew Chief' 1:25 kit
I know right? I remember an after market company, now out of business, American Satco, had awesome tires. For those of us into models, when you see it, buy it! That's why I have at least 80 kits, and lots of aftermarket goodies, in my collection.

Re: AMT Chevy Blazer 'Crew Chief' 1:25 kit
Just checked my Hobby Lobby, no Blazer in stock. They do have the '65 Chevy step side. Price is full retail, must find coupon. LOL They also have the Piranha 'Super Spy Car' for almost $30, Squadron showed $21.74 (add shipping).

Re: AMT Chevy Blazer 'Crew Chief' 1:25 kit
Got my kit from the Desert Scale Classic contest swap meet! $20.
I see several brands listed for the license routine, and it's popped in China. Do Blazers really have the gas tanks like this?

Re: AMT Chevy Blazer 'Crew Chief' 1:25 kit
