AMT 1:25 Ghostbusters Ecto-1A ***COMPLETE***

[Rickpadwick1801]

Hi Everyone,

As my Shelby GT500 project is close to completion, I will be making a start on this kit in a couple of days time.

As the kit includes decals for the Ecto-1 and Ecto-1A, I have decided that I will be building this kit as the Ecto-1A from Ghosbusters 2.

Anyway here are the sprues. I have just noticed that the interior body section is missing from my photos.

Thanks for looking, I will be posting the first WIP shots in a couple of days.

Thanks Rick,

It is a really fun build. I will be continuing to work on this build tomorrow finishing the equipment rack and then beginning to integrate all of the body components with the chassis.

I got this kit as a present for my bithday last year, so I'll be watching closely.

Please tell us how fiting looks, because this being a AMT kit, I have my doubts.

Will do. So far most of the assembly time has been spent on the carrier rack 1st stage but that all fitted together like a glove.

I will let you know more as I go along.

Thanks.

Hi Everyone,

Here is today's update for this kit.

Painting of all of the components is now completed and assembly is completed up to stage 5.

I will be completing the assembly phase of this build tomorrow and then beginning work on the decals for this project.

Anyway onto the photos.

Stage 4

Power Conduits for Stage 5 :

Anyway, I am really happy with the way this kit is coming together. The fit is absolutely outstanding, I can't believe how well it is going together. Then again I have never had a bad experience with either of the AMT kits I have built.

Thanks for looking.

More photos tomorrow evening.
