Review
This kit is molded in light blue, black and chrome parts. It has 59 parts and is being marketed as "snap tite". The kit has no engine, but the oil pan and the transmission are present.
The fit is good for the most part. I only had trouble with the chrome parts fits. I was not able to get them to snap, and some of the chrome parts (like the tanks) have sizable gaps.
I've put together the chassis and wheels and then I've checked for mis-alignments. I've only had to add a small shim to one of the suspension parts to get all the tires to touch the ground. I've painted the chassis/wheels assembly flat black and the cab in "true blue".
This is a good kit for a kid that is getting into the hobby, or a grown up that just wants a break from more complex builds. I had fun putting this kit together and it was a great break from other projects. The only downside is that some of the chrome parts didn't fit well, but it is nothing that some modeling skills couldn't overcome.
I would like to thank IPMS/USA, and Revell for providing the review sample.
