This is my TREAT for working! Spring 1960, last day of my three weeks in Junior High (my challenged little brother needed constant care which I provided after my last day of 3rd Grade) Dad in Government work and mom getting her PhD. Kids gathered in the playground as a white Starliner sporting red interior with my Home Room / English teacher and her husband slowly drove by. Jaws dropped lower than the windows. Chris, your build is a tribute to the Starliner!!!
Chris, great job as always! I must admit, I have always been been more of a Bow Tie guy, as opposed to a Blue Oval guy, but that Kustom is so sharp, now I have to build it. Cheers!
Chris thank you for your work over the year mate ilike to wish you and your family and friends a merry Christmas and a happy new year mate a big fan from Down under Australia 🇦🇺 mate 🇦🇺
I love the detail and the fact that they didn't mold things like door handles into the body. The engine detail especially. Really nice kit and a very inspiring build.
Nice build and nice kit. Love that FE 352 engine with options. Too bad AMT didn’t create 1960 Canadian Meteor front and rear grills and taillights as a custom option.
AMAZING detail, Chris. You not only built the model but you captured the car! Great job! Too bad Ford doesn’t make orange engines, THAT would have been beautiful in the green car! Maybe my custom Ford will….
Slick looking custom build Chris, nice choices for the color combo. All the details came together great, the scallops compliment the body lines. Very nice build.
Thanks for sharing. I built this kit in the past. Very detailed kit. Great candidate for a dual quad, 427 SOHC, 4-speed, with a set of American Racing Torq Trusts! Happy Holidays!
This looks to be an incredibly detailed kit coming from AMT. May have to buy a couple. This is why I like your channel. I like seeing you unbox kits to see if it’s worth me buying one. Thanks for doing what you do.
These were cool cars. The 3-2 brl. carbs were actually mounted backwards to clear the distributor. That FE engine is super detailed. Those five spoke mags look like Astro Supremes. Great kit.
you was right you can't hold on to nothing to day but nice build of tha 60 Ford skylines I like watching them old models being built but don't care for the new ones
Exceptional kit, one of many tooled 25 years ago by a brilliant crew at AMT. Can be built stock except for the wheels... oh, and the c-pillar features 'stars', re: the Starliner name. Nice work!
I missed the '60 Starliner oh so much, I STILL have my Grampy's Sunliner convertible, along with the matching Candy Corn metallic Mercedes Benz ML320 that both had a 'posies' custom colour schematic... I'm thankful for they have a home now in Santa Fe ... My wish now, is seeing Round 2 do a snazzy Hot Rod versions and sell 'em, TOGETHER!!! I wouldn't even mind a Sunliner, custom or stock!
Well done Chris.... I've be in love with Starliners ever since I saw a 1961 custom green metalflake job right out of the pages of HotRod magazine. The movie "The Hollywood Knights*" a movie that that had teenage trouble making any the Hot Rod car scene just as cool as American Graffiti and did in the late 60s . * The Hollywood knights (1980) Tony Danza Michelle Phiffer 😍 (wearing knee high while boots with 4" heels... WOW ! ) A Cult car guy movie with dozens of cars taken right from the pages of HotRod magazine.A must see movie for every car. Wicked cars, beautiful ladies, and crazy fun and general trouble to be had all. An easy 7.5/10 & it takes place on Halloween night 1965 👺 The car star is the famous Yellow HotRod Project X 1957 Chevy that they are still working on decades later... ✌️😎 🎄
Looking forward to getting this kit. Love them old rides. Curious if this is any different from the previous releases of the 60 Starliner. As far as part and all
Message to Round2: Please stop overlooking hobbyists who want to build kits as factory stock. Include the necessary stock parts, so we aren't waiting an unknown number of years for release of a new factory stock version.
@@BigSkyModelWorkshop Sorry but I'll explain further. A lot of us don't use ebay or purchase from online website sellers, or buy 2nd hand, we buy strictly from local hobby shops to help them stay in business. So the kit isn't available to a lot of us, and the fact a kit was out a long time many years ago does not forgive Round2 for excluding the stock parts right now in this current kit release. Unless they do something like an altered wheelbase body that cannot be ever built as factory stock, they should always include all the stock version parts.
That is a great kit. I have the original stock version. Excellent AMT kit from the 90s. Great build Chris. The paint looks great. Really nice.
I have that kit in my collection, really nice kit with great detail.
Thanks for the review during this busy holiday season. Stunning results. 😎
Chris you out done yourself on this one 🔥🔥🔥
That's a GREAT kit, definitely recommend it!!!!!!!! 👍👍
Beautiful, I’m buying this now! 👍👍

@@hpiguy vividly - like seeing the future !
Have similar memories about seeing cars of the late 50s and early 60s. Bubble tops are are so cool. Not sure how they roll over. haha.
Just ordered this from the LHS. Cannot wait!
The 1960 Ford Starliner. For the motorist with an extra large package!

This generation of AMT kits was very nice, and this color scheme you've chosen is very snazzy!

Too bad AMT didn’t create 1960 Canadian Meteor front and rear grills and taillights as a custom option.
Looks great Chris. Them decals really makes that green stand out. Again that a sweet looking ride.

AMAZING detail, Chris. You not only built the model but you captured the car! Great job! Too bad Ford doesn’t make orange engines, THAT would have been beautiful in the green car! Maybe my custom Ford will….
Wow Chris! Great paint inside and out!
Slick looking custom build Chris, nice choices for the color combo.
All the details came together great, the scallops compliment the body lines.

Real cool mate👍
My favorite car model👍👍🎅
Awesome build as always! Can someone tell me how to choose the best primer color because Chris uses three different colors on this build?
Lovely colours nice build you need a new spray booth 😂

That much detail would take me a decade.
Do you have to wet sand it or can you aply a few coats of clear coat to get that shine?
He uses Future floor polish.
It looks like you CAN build this thing stock, except for the hubcaps.
Chris, how long do you wait until you mask and repaint or trim
A few hours is all it takes usually.
Noice
❤
Is that grey washi tape from Hobby Lobby?
It seems like a nice kit. However, with the HUGE catalog of cars Round2 have, I'd wish they not re-issue the same kits again and again.
A pity that the front design of this car wasn't as good as the rear
nice buld as always

This kit was out for some time as a bone stock kit, it's still relatively easy to find.

Do ever use Tamiya LP paints because they are some of the best paints out there. The sparkling silver looks great as a bar metal color.
