Tom Geiger Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) Something I read in another thread today got me thinking about snap kits... I remember now, it was about the Lindberg Dakota kit, and how nice it was "for a snap kit". Well, we've all done a snapper or two and have had fun with them. So let's post some... Johan 1962 Studebaker Lark Convertible Revell 1963 Corvette AMT 1973 Barracuda - Still need to finish this one! Fastback concept car. And a pair of Lindberg Dodge Grand Caravans. These are further along than this photo. So post some fun snap kits! It doesn't matter if you just painted and assembled them, modified them severely or used them as a basis for a detailed build!

Russell C Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Late '80s build on this one, the old 1/32 scale Revell VW pickup which I shortened up to be a GTI version. Quote
Kennyboy Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) Revell Snap-tite Acura NSX....got this at a swapmeet for $5.......pulled it all apart, changed the wheels/tires/brakes, built a new engine cover, remade the rear taillight panel with inset reverse lights, and painted House of Kolor Majik Blue pearl.

StevenGuthmiller Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Would the "Junior Craftsman" kits of old be considered a snap kit? Steve Quote
Harry P. Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 In all the years I've been at this, I've never built a snap kit. I got into glue kits as a kid (loved those fumes!. )... never even considered a snap kit. My loss, I guess. Quote
Chuck Most Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Revell Build and Play '15 Mustang GT with paint and a few minor tweaks. A couple of the Revell '97 Ford Expedition SSV kits in fire and police livery... Lindberg Crown Vic with Modelhaus wheels and hubcaps. And the Revell Build and Play CV. And this one is a little further along than in this pic, but it's a Revell Caprice which will be built as Michigan Motor Carrier car. Quote
Helix Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) I had a lot of fun with these Revell kits Edited June 7, 2015 by Helix Quote
Snake45 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 AMT did a snapper '63 Vette roadster? Anyway, here's a few of mine: Quote
Brett Barrow Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) Still the last car I finished and that was several years ago! Need to concentrate and finish something! Edited June 3, 2015 by Brett Barrow Quote
Kennyboy Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 My daughter's Snap-tite Enzo (father/daughter build) Quote
Tom Geiger Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 And I actually forgot about this one! Concept Camaro built for my club's same kit contest. I thought it would be fun to do the retro thing on it. Color is a 1971 Chevy color. The snapper was the perfect canvas for that idea! All I had to concentrate on was the body and interior... no engine or chassis to drag the project. Quote
slusher Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 My daughter's Snap-tite Enzo (father/daughter build) Very sharp Ken... Quote
disabled modeler Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Snaps.... I love the old 50s through 70s snap and Craftsman kits specially the Johan and AMT ones...nice builds guys. Quote
Foxer Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I'm enjoying this topic seeing what snaps are/were available .. two grandsons getting ready for some building .. I hope. Might need a Mario Racing snap kit to pry then from their racing seats though. Quote
Tonioseven Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I covered the lens holes with Bare Metal Foil to give a more realistic appearance. I used MV lenses for this 'Cuda. Quote
Tonioseven Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I think those are all of the snap kits I still have pictures of. Thanks for allowing me to share. Antonio Quote
gtx6970 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I help with the decals ( very little though) But this was done by my then 14 year old daughter Shes done a few others since but this is the only one I have pics of Quote
