Just received two in the mail last night. One will go in the toy room and the other will be build one day. I had a hard time taking the plastic off the one . It was like a Willy Wonka chocolate bar,I was looking for the golden ticket :shock: and then there it was the golden ticket but in white and needed to be assembled. :lol: :lol: :lol:
I thought it would have been bigger but 1/25th of something small to begin with is small. :P |

Hey - has anyone found one of these? I saw this posted on one of the Manx models for sale on ebay.
RARE - AMT Meyers "Manx" Dune Buggy Model Kit - 1 IN EVERY 12 ARE METALLIC RED
He included photos in the ad and sure enough, it's metal flake red. I guess I should open mine and see what color it is.

I opened up one of my new reissued Manx models today. Inside I found an ugly red metalic red kit. I sure hope that the paint goes on well enough to hide all of the ugly metalflake spots. Huge chunks of flake will look like a Bass Boat when completed
AMT claims that these red ones have added collector value. About 8% of the kits are metallic red. After comparing the opened red kit with other that are still sealed, I can find no indication on the box that designates a difference. You have to love all this marketing BS. |

I'll trade you my unopened mystery color Manx for your red metalflake Manx that matches my full size Manx. :wink:

| Painting the red metalflake version of the AMT Meyers Manx model would be like having a gold medal bronzed. |

This is pretty cool. I just found a listing on eBay for an original AMT Tow'd model car kit. I don't recall seeing that as a kid. It isn't cheap. Bidding is already at $51.00

Wondering if I should order another kit and keep this one intact?
