1950 Chevy Pick-Up

A fun, basic kit of a great American truck. I have built two, one as a barn find with heavy chipping and another Christmas red with some pine trees in the back for the mantle during the holidays.

Amt’s 50 Chevy was a really nice and the instructions were fairly clear this time. I had an issue with inner fender and firewall alignment, but nothing significant. Used some tires and wheels from the parts box that gave it a cool stance with no suspension modifications. Nice little period 6 cylinder engine. Highly customizable kit. Have at it and have fun!

I recently built this kit and I was surprised how easily this kit was to assemble. However, I recommend assembling the engine block, the chassis and and the rear cab extension and fender fillers to the body before painting as this will make the assembly a little quicker and will give you a more uniform paint job on the body. There are lots of possibilities with this kit,stock or service truck or even a street rod if you have spare parts in your junk box. The decal sheet is very nice, but maybe a little thin. There was a minimum about of flash on my 1st kit, but the 2nd kit had a little bit more flash, but overall, a very nice kit.
