About product

Chevrolet Vega Funny Car in 1:25 scale (AMT)

This injection-molded plastic kit from the American maker AMT represents a funny car class drag racing machine of the 1970s, built on the silhouette of the Chevrolet Vega, in 1:25 scale. The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. It is not a production car but a racing machine whose body shares nothing with the original except its shape.

The real subject

Funny car is an American drag racing class that came into being in the 1960s and came fully into its own in the 1970s. Under a lightened body copying the shape of a production car and tipped back in one piece are a tube frame, massive rear tires and a supercharged V8 burning methanol or nitromethane. The Chevrolet Vega, meanwhile, was a small economy car in civilian life, but its silhouette became one of the favorite shapes for this class thanks to its short wheelbase and angular forms.

Building and painting tips

The tube frame is the foundation, so glue it on a flat surface and keep checking that the model does not stand crooked. Nip the parts off with nippers and sand away the marks left by the gates. Wash the body with soapy water, spray on a primer and then thin coats of paint; a deep gloss shade, a metallic or a pearl finish all suit these cars. Stir metallic paint thoroughly, as the pigment settles to the bottom, and apply it only onto a smooth base. Paint the chrome and engine parts before the frame is closed up, as you will not reach them later.

Who the model is for

  • collectors of American drag racing machinery
  • modelers who want to practice bold gloss and metallic finishes
  • anyone interested in the racing machines of the 1970s
  • builders with experience of tube frames and open structures

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

An American drag racing class in which a lightened body copying the shape of a production car covers a tube frame with a supercharged V8 and massive rear tires.

It is not. All it shares with the production car is the shape of the body; the engineering underneath is a racing machine. Anyone looking for the civilian version will not find it here.

The tube frame has to be built on a flat surface with the geometry checked as you go. For a complete beginner it is a step more demanding than an ordinary production car.

The color scheme and the contents of the decal sheet are given in the instructions for the kit.
