I remember this kit when I was a kid in the 60's. Several years ago it was re-released so I purchased several from Wal-Mart cheap. Yea, back in the days when Wal-Mart had a lot of model kits. They were selling the new AMT issue of the Ala Kart for $4.44 and hobby shops were getting upwards of $13.00.
You did a great job building your kit.

Thanks!

What clear are you using over the craft paints? Also, do you have any video's of you working? I have enjoyed many of the video's you make, but I would really like to see the work and techniques and such that builders use.

hpiguys Workshop - 6 years ago

I usually use Testors Glosscote from the can or airbrushed on. It seems the most gentle over any paint.
I do have videos that show work as it goes, some airbrushing, some finessing parts, etc. They are scattered among the build videos here and there as I needed to do it, nothing organized such as "in this video I did this". Sorry man.

nice boat or boats but the one you keep calling a dragster isn't a dragster.it's a crackerjack boat designed for a crew of two and race against 4 boats on a oval course.Nice build though.One I will need to add to my collection.by the way the rudder and prop would have been brass

D-Day Reenacting Tips 1944 - 6 years ago

Can you put a licence plate on the trailer and registration stickers on the boat to make it look more authentic? AMAZING WORK!!!

hpiguys Workshop - 6 years ago

You can if you want to and if you can find decals for the registration.

This is a piece of model kit history, first issued in 1959 this was the first of AMT's 3in1 kits to be released. The car kits followed shortly after.

hpiguys Workshop - 6 years ago

Good info, thank you.

Appalachian Wanderer Allan - 6 years ago

Very nice build!

hpiguys Workshop - 6 years ago

Thanks Allan!

Ben Gillmore - 7 years ago

Dose it floot

hpiguys Workshop - 7 years ago

It would float I'm sure.

llouie llouie - 7 years ago

Really nice build Chris. The wood design came out perfect and I appreciate the tips and advice on doing it and the build itself. Also, did not know that this kit came with a trailer, just makes it that much better. Thanks Chris

hpiguys Workshop - 7 years ago

Thanks Jeff! Glad you liked it. :)

Mitch Gawlik - 7 years ago

Nice job on both the kit and the video. It was great to pay attention to the video without the distraction of bad
camera work, bad sound and bad language. I recently purchased an earlier version that is molded in gray and
has a very slight difference in the decal sheet. Otherwise, the kit is identical. This kit could easily have been
adjusted to build two complete boats with an extra hull and a few small additional parts. I'll also say that a price
of $26.00 (at my local hobby shop) is ridiculous. The kit is so simplified that in can be fully assembled in no time.
Still, I'm glad to see it re-released. You did a great job with yours.

hpiguys Workshop - 7 years ago

One extra hull and you'd have a true double kit. Maybe they will do that on the next release, that would be cool.
Thanks for the nice words!

Toby's Sideshow of Scale Styrene - 7 years ago

Looks great. I wa son the fence about buying this one. Looks pretty simple. The key for is it comes with the trailer!

hpiguys Workshop - 7 years ago

Thanks Toby!

Brad Gill - 7 years ago

I like the video I was wondering what kind car or pickup are you going to use to pull the boat.

hpiguys Workshop - 7 years ago

Not sure, one could put the hitch on anything. Maybe a nice resto mod woody wagon?

Larry Brown - 7 years ago

Nice! You got the colors down pat!

hpiguys Workshop - 7 years ago

Thanks Larry :)

Looks super bud, and a great review!

hpiguys Workshop - 7 years ago

Thanks Chris!

Vincent Weston - 7 years ago

Great build! I'm liking that kit. I've been looking at it, and now I will be getting it. I recently got the 2 Lindberg boat kits (Owens Deluxe Cruiser & Century Coronado) and this would be great to have with those. Thanks for the look in the box, and the excellent build!

Devin Freeland - 6 years ago

I need to order the two lindberg kits I have been waiting because I had two others on my wish list that I wanted to pick up first but after buying this kit today I am extremely motivated to build some 50s-60s ski boats

hpiguys Workshop - 7 years ago

Those are nice, I do have those but haven't built them yet.

Monsters and Ghouls - 7 years ago

Really nice review and build I can see this painted up in " duck " camouflage pulled by my 65 step side chev truck

hpiguys Workshop - 7 years ago

That would look neat.

Mishn0 - 7 years ago

You could get some of the wood grain decal sheets that are made for the Wingnut 1/32 WW I aircraft models. I might have to look into that.

hpiguys Workshop - 7 years ago

Yes, that would be another way to do it. Good idea.

Michael Kovach - 7 years ago

I actually saw this in my local hobby shop a few months back, should have bought it. Great review Chris and terrific build up on the boat. Well done.

hpiguys Workshop - 7 years ago

It's fun, I might do the dragster next time, not sure.

bigeddie1231 - 7 years ago

hpiguys Workshop - 7 years ago

Thanks Eddie!

charles palavros - 7 years ago

Nice build

hpiguys Workshop - 7 years ago

Thanks!

Ennis Anderson - 7 years ago

I can't believe you have that kit! I had one of those back in the mid-60's when it first came out ! I've still got the wood deck plate, too! I've been looking for one of those for 50 years. Has it been released again ?
You've done an amazing job on the kit !!! One of my frat brothers had one of those he was trying to restore. If memory serves, his had the wood color the reverse of your. Don't know if he ever did or not though.

Outlawflyer78 - 6 years ago

they sell this kit at HobbyLobby for 25 bucks I believe

Ennis Anderson - 7 years ago

hpiguys Workshop That's outstanding ! Sorry I missed that in the description. I'm definitely going to get me one ! Thanks for the blast from the past !

hpiguys Workshop - 7 years ago

Thanks! You bet, it's been re-popped and is for sale now. Link where I got mine is in the description.
