Round 2 Ghostbusters Ecto-1 1:25 Scale Model Kit

I almost didn't buy this because of the negative reviews. Turns out that this MODEL is awesome. Full detail, lots of parts, tons of stickers and lots of oppertunity to paint the hell out of it. Most, if not all of the negative reviews are from people that didn't know this is a MODEL. Yes, you will need glue. Yes, you will need paint. It's a MODEL. I am fully satisfied with this MODEL, it came out great, and all the reviewers that were pissed because it wasn't painted and didn't hold together without glue made me laugh for days. One guy even posted a picture of a fully assembled unpainted MODEL. Good stuff, can't beat it. If you are looking for a MODEL, this is for you.

What a GREAT choice for a model project -- what's cooler than the ECTO1? This isn't something you can do in 30 minutes. It's really for a patient child. It's got nontraditional parts (like the tools on the roof) that engage model building ability. You won't find yourself putting this kit together without instructions just because you know what a car should look like, in other words.

My son is still working on putting the Ghostbuster model together. I did not realize when I bought it, that it has such a high skill level. Had to buy about eight different color Testor paints, paint thinner, brushes etc. It's going to be a nice model when it is done, but if this is your first model, I'd suggest something simpler to put together. As far as the quality goes, though, it seems like a good quality. Should be fun!

Had a great time building this model. The interior gave me the opportunity to take alot of creative liberties. Great kit for ages 15+. I was missing a sheet of red “glass” plastic. The manufacturer and multiple message boards indicated that the QC on some of these runs were mismanaged. Not the best rivet model, but I loved making it.

I opened the box and checked the item. Everything was inside, instructions are easy and clear. Parts are mostly okay. Only 2 crome part was damaged. Anyway, luckly it is easy to glue without any mark. Good Product, recommended by me. It will be fun to build it up.

The ECTO 1A is a fairly good model, but even though it is well detailed, they should have given you the parts to make the ECTO1 from the original Ghostbusters film. It is feasible if you research it, but the roof rack will have to be modified, some equipment left off, and a ladder will have to be added to the right rear of the car, just behind the door.This is a "curbside " model-that means there is no scale engine. Body details, plated parts and clear parts arte good, as is the decal sheet.The body detail itself is spot on and should easily convert into an ambulance or a hearse if you care to model one.Be prepared to do some sanding and filling.Wheels and tires are incorrect fot the Ecto 1. It has big "pimp" whitewalls and standard Cadillac wheel embelishers-hub caps. Also, the clear parts ofthe emertgency roof lights should be a transparent blue, not completely clear as they come in the kit.I got my model in damaged condition. A small semi circular chip of plastic was broken off on the right rear roof, just above the "C" pillar for the rear door, but I was able to fill it in with balsa wood, sheet styrene and body puty. Besides that, some of the roof equipment will hide this defect anyway.The only real complaint is not with this model itself, but with Amazon . The nature of the complaint is that it is very difficult to use a gift card .Make this process easier to use, and I`ll be back.Other than that, everything else was OK.

this models is pretty amazing! it only took me about a week give or take to finish it. Building models on occasion is one of my ways of decompressing from a long day at work.The Ecto 1A came right on time as scheduled and the packaging was absolutly fine!Its super fun to put to gether. FYI if you want to make it super detailed just have a little patience!PS. if your wondering.. yes that is the time machine!

Nice kit,wish it had a motor, but other than that a great kit.fun to build.looks great,went together well,think I will order one nor to build as an ambulance. Really cool kit.
