Chuck Most Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 Yep, it's the newly re-created AMT kit. I built it out of the box with three exceptions. First, it has a current style Michigan plate from Three Inches Under. It had originally planned to use the kit's Lazy Larry markings but opted to save those for a junker version and I used Magic City Car Wash graphics from a Gopher Racing sheet. And I used the optional mirrors from the 1992 1500 kit because they more closely resemble the aero towing mirrors available by 1996. Not much to gripe about. I could get the driver side quarter window to snap into the opening but the passenger pane didn't wanna play ball in that aspect. The instructions seem to have the upper and lower lens numbers mixed up. I installed what's called out as the upper lens in the lower bezel and vice versa and the lenses look and fit better. Paint is Tamiya Camel Yellow outside, Revell Ochre Brown inside. All in all I like this kit better than the 1992 1500. I'm kinda hoping AMT will roll out a crew cab version at some point. 10
av405 Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 That came out great! I bought the Tamiya Camel Yellow a while back to use on future contractor/municipal truck projects, so I'm happy to see how it looks on a kit. Is it just me or is that 3rd brake light ridiculously long?
espo Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 Beautiful clean looking truck. Looks like it's first day in service.
