iamsuperdan Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 This one will be hitting my bench shortly. Music is my main hobby, and I'm a huge fan of 80s metal and rock, so when I saw this kit, I had to have it. Testor's call it the Boyd's Hauler, I call it the Van Hauler. I find it amusing that they keep referring to the unnamed rock star. Licensing I guess. Anyway, lots of detail in this kit. Much better than the usual AMT Chev trucks, although I'll have to compare to my 454SS kit and see how close they are for tooling. Comes with the Van Halen decals sheet, Van Halen stripe wheels, Corvette engine and suspension. Building this one box stock, with a few extra details.

1930fordpickup Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I was wondering what this kit had on the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumpyDan Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Nice, should be cool to build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 If I recall, this is actually based on the second iteration of the truck. The first had the complete EVH stripe treatment covering the whole truck. Then at some point, Eddie had the truck rebuild to the version we see here. May try to find a second kit and build the full tripe version too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
