AMT Kits Just Hit the Dumpster

Recently I got back into the hobby and enjoyed completing my first few cars. (3) Nascar, 69 Camero and a 70 Chevelle. All of which were Revell Kits. In the process I aquired quite a few other kits waiting in line for assembly. The last two kits I started, both from AMT are the 55 Bel Air ,Millenium and the 55 Chevy Cameo. Then my Frustration began.

The AMT 55 Bel Air had so many flaws I stopped assembly on the kit, boxed it up and set it aside. Thinking maybe I just got a bum kit. Then I started on the AMT 55 Cameo. The same frustrating experience. Some of the fixes I was going to make parts to correct, but I just drew the line on this kit too. When I test fitted the Front and Rear Glass for the cab, both are so small for the opening, it would make you laugh.

Anyone else share my experiences with AMT or am I just lucky?
