    Wow! This is impressive for a 43rd scale model kit dating back more than 40 years! Would make a great slump buster for sure.

    I'm impressed with this kit. The 1:43 is a very neat scale.

    I've recently built the 1/25 69 Torino Cobra, but never heard of these little 1/43 kits! I need to look for them. 😎👍

    Cool kit Matt!!! I remember this series of kits from Matchbox from the early eighties.

  • @hughdudley1792

    I've got that kit and several others ! Looking forward to building them.

    Nice little kits. 😊
    Enjoy the build 😀

    Very nice looking little model. With some fine detail painting, it should build into a neat little model. Thanks for sharing.

    Neat little model kit. That looks to be a 1969 Torino, you can tell a 69 from a 68 by the number of trim pieces on the "C" pillar. Nice detail for such a tiny model. 👍👍👍

    I have the 1/43 scale AMC AMX and yes, they're very cool. Look forward to seeing the torino done! Happy modeling!

    Cool little kits some have cool. It up to the builder to give it the depth of contrast on the pan. Have a fun time as that is what counts.

  • @1968fordman
    @1968fordman Před 11 měsíci +1

    That's awesome Matthew! I've never seen that one. Would be a fun build! One of my favorite Ford's! I'd love to have a fastback to go with my 1968 2 door hardtop Fairlane!

  • @funken079
    @funken079 Před 11 měsíci +1

    Very cool Matthew, I like the small scale kits for a slump breaker. Sometimes I leave them in the mold color. I have a 32 Chevy in a lime green from Life Like Hobbies 1/32 scale.

  • @timothyharrison8953
    @timothyharrison8953 Před 11 měsíci +2

    I remember these, but boxed before Matchbox. Seems there was a custom Corvette too. I have a memory of the tires being difficult to get on the wheels.

  • @jesshansen3690
    @jesshansen3690 Před 11 měsíci +3

    There is a site called bonbon scale models it's all small scale models that He builds. Groovy !

  • @charlesbecker9617
    @charlesbecker9617 Před 11 měsíci +1

    Yep, '69 Torino. Had an annual 1/25 scale one at that time. Never finished it, don't remember what happened to it. The box had the yellow Nascar artwork on it.

    @denislandry7577 Před 11 měsíci +1

    1/43 scale , i bought 12 of them from Walmart ,, Canada about 20 years ago , i think i got 3 left to build , they are cool !

  • @dogdoc1
    @dogdoc1 Před 11 měsíci +1

    Ahh, you got me😄, I thought it was going to be a large scale model based on the thumbnail.

  • @juniorworkshop1918

    Nice kit Mathew 👌 👍

  • @bigguy43055

    They also made a 48 Ford Coupe in this series as well!

  • @williambayer1146
    @williambayer1146 Před 11 měsíci +1

    Hey Matthew, try pad printing those Torino letters and the white letters on tires? Would put you in the world of envy!! LOL. You can do it!

  • @marsgarage8217
    @marsgarage8217 Před 10 měsíci +1

    Really cool.

  • @JDsHouseofHobbies
    @JDsHouseofHobbies Před 11 měsíci +1

    I was going to guess 1969. I have A 69 Camaro and Chevelle that I built years ago, but mine had chrome parts in the kit. I still have them!

  • @HGSolberg
    @HGSolberg Před 11 měsíci +1

    The video thumb nail certainly got me. :D I was sure this had to be a 1/16th scale, but I've never heard of a 1/16th scale Torino.

  • @mightywarrior5684
    @mightywarrior5684 Před 11 měsíci +2

    I love the fact that it's molded in grey. Great panel lines as well.

  • @tombower450
    @tombower450 Před 11 měsíci +2

    Cool little kit Matthew. I don't remember ever seeing those. Lots of details for such a small curbside kit. 👍

  • @modelrestorations
    @modelrestorations Před 11 měsíci +3

    The detail is better than 1:25th! I think its really neat how big the Rolls Royce kit was to this little guy. Yet the detail is almost as good. Thanks for sharing Matt. That is a really neat little kit.

  • @thescalemodelcarguychannel8681
    @thescalemodelcarguychannel8681 Před 11 měsíci +2

    That's a really cool kit and Craig at the mutt modeler built it one year and I have several of the amt 1/43 scale model they had several in the range and thanks for sharing Mat ❤

  • @HayAuto
    @HayAuto Před 11 měsíci +1

    It's so cute! :)

  • @wwiiinplastic4712
    @wwiiinplastic4712 Před 11 měsíci +1

    I just checked Scalemates and there's like a dozen cars in this series plus several trucks and trailers. They even had a set with two complete Peterbilt 359's in it; one a tow truck. I know this might sound funny but I just don't have the room for them but maybe a couple...

  • @taskmaster58
    @taskmaster58 Před 11 měsíci +1

    The AMT early kit and the later reboxing of the AMT/ERTL show it as a 1969. You could partly cover that tire burn by putting a deck spoiler on that and also fabricate a hood scoop to make it look like a GT/Cobra Jet.

  • @danielpaulsness6951
    @danielpaulsness6951 Před 11 měsíci +1

    Nice 😅

  • @rickzinck9326
    @rickzinck9326 Před 11 měsíci +2

    Cool little kit. I built one of them way back in 1969 (I think). There was a series of those little 43 scale kits. I built a few of them. I think there was a 40 Ford coupe in the series too. It has been a while. Scale mates might have info them.

  • @MikeJBlues
    @MikeJBlues Před 11 měsíci +1

    That's a cool 69 torino GT! Can we release 1981 prices again lol 😆

  • @TJRohyans
    @TJRohyans Před 11 měsíci +1

    I never even knew they made model cars in that scale. Extremely well detailed for its size. What color do you think you'll go with? Peace and love.

    • @modelcarvideos5829
      @modelcarvideos5829  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Not sure yet. I should have it painted in a day or so and have a video

  • @donstevenson2660
    @donstevenson2660 Před 11 měsíci +1

    If you want to see real detail in 1/43, look into Tameo kits. Expensive, and worth it!

  • @killiam2868
    @killiam2868 Před 11 měsíci +1

    I had the 69 chevelle it was molded in brown, but it disappeared years ago. I found that one at a drug store

  • @calvincooley1074
    @calvincooley1074 Před 10 měsíci +1

    I had the 69 RS/SS Camaro

  • @robertjohnson9500
    @robertjohnson9500 Před 11 měsíci +1

    the car would look good with a 1/144 scale kit

  • @BamaScaleModels-vq7hk
    @BamaScaleModels-vq7hk Před 11 měsíci +1

    Ginormous

  • @mightywarrior5684
    @mightywarrior5684 Před 11 měsíci +1

    '76 or '77 GT?

  • @DrDiff952
    @DrDiff952 Před 10 měsíci +1

    But is it a GRAND TOURINO like what Clint Eastowood built

  • @mightywarrior5684
    @mightywarrior5684 Před 11 měsíci +2

    I was way off. '69

  • @jamessherman1478
    @jamessherman1478 Před 11 měsíci +2

    I believe that is a 69

    How neat, your thumb nail is so deceiving. 😮
