Über excited when this kit came out, bought 8 kits right away and put several together. Definitely had an old tooling feel like it’s early kit counterpart. Made a couple step side resin beds and went to town. Would like to see how yours turns out!
Nice kit Merv.I like the rifles for the back window mounts.I picked up amt heavy chevy. 1970 impala custom ss hardtop.Slick or street goodyear tires.(stock).tnxs for the video.hope to see the finished truck.
Thanks for watching, I think the 1870 Winchester I might be able to make look decent. The other rifle I am not terribly hopeful about. I do have a nice little collection of 1/25 scale weapons. Including a couple of scratch fields that we will introduce all of you to in a future show. So far I have this truck painted and decaled and there’s a very interesting quirks with the decals. It goes together fairly quickly which I really like. My biggest decision right now is to whether I should leave the rims chrome or whether I should black them out. I know I should black them out but I just have a hard time doing that. Then I’m going to resin cast them because these things are awesome!
Thank you and thanks for commenting. So far I really like this because it goes together very quickly and I am more of a simple kind of builder. There’s some interesting things about the decals that I will bring up when I do the review of the build here in a month or so.
Hiya Merv. Hope your OK, you've certainly caught the sun😀. Great review. 👍, I keep looking at that kit so it was handy having a look. Decal camo is different, I didn't realise they'd done those🤔Those big, chunky tyres will look great if they clear the fenders.😎😁🤣Thanks for showing and best wishes, 🤓Pete 😎
Oh Pete, those big tires are beautiful! I’ve been building this thing and the decals are good but they’re definitely brittle. You’re going to have to use some decal solvent to make them sit right.

Thanks, I’m almost finished with mine I’ve been delayed by the work I’ve had to do on my 1/1 scale Blazer. Stepside would definitely be cool
It took em 40 years, would have loved to have this back in the 1980's
Oh I know right? Especially with these big tires and wheels this would have been amazing back in the 80s.
Very cool pickup , look forward to seeing that one completed , have a great week mate
So far it’s a pretty simple build so I like it

@@maddogmerv I was going to tear up little strips of masking tape and go zebra😂
I built that truck for Somone awhile back and done it up like it waa on the box
Yeah that’s kind of what I am doing Tim is I am doing the decals that come with it but I’m not blacking out all of the chrome just some of it.
