AMT 1967 Ford Shelby GT350 Model Kit vs AMT 1957 Chevy Bel Air

Both are AMT 1:25 glue-together kits at skill level 2, so the choice comes down to the car and the build. The Shelby GT350 is a curbside-style kit with a licensed Shelby body, decals and a compact finished size, and its 4.7 rating from 37 owners points to a well-liked kit. The Bel Air is the simpler, more traditional build with a 283 V8 and a longer finished body, and it suits builders who want a classic cruiser. Pick the Shelby for a sporty display piece; pick the Bel Air for a straightforward, roomy build.

• Choose the Shelby GT350 if you want a licensed, sporty 1960s fastback with decals and a compact shelf footprint.
• Choose the Bel Air if you want a classic 1950s hardtop with a V8 engine option and a longer, more detailed body.
