1950 Chevy Pick-Up

I wouldn't say its the best kit but then its not the worst I'm sure too, it definitely seems to have some issues that seem to arise fit wise with some parts that can cause some hiccups with this kit. I would probably recommend it more for experienced model builders and not those that are somewhat new to the hobby or are looking for a first project involving gluing parts together. Overall I really can't say if I'd recommend it strongly but I think it would be better to leave that choice up to the individual.

This is a great kit that has been around a little while. Fitment can be a little bothersome in some areas, mainly joining the chassis and body together because the engine compartment is a bit of a pain. And the suspension is a little wonky.. If you take your time and think it out, it goes together pretty well. After you get it together, this will be one of those kits that you will enjoy looking at for years.

Parts fit well, very little flash, and easy to build. I used some parts from another to add some detail (acetylene tanks and fire extinguisher) and followed suggestion from another builder to use the push bumper for side stakes for the side boards. Worked well. Used a combo of brown and tan Tamiya sprays in very light passes to get a wood tone for the bed and sideboards. Since there is such detail in the engine compartment an opening hood would be nice. I used museum wax to hold the hood in place and still allow removal to look at the engine.
