1972 GMC Jimmy

I would recommend this kit. The detail is okay. The molding is okay. There is very little flash, nice hood attachment, decals are nice. Nice dashboard that could be painted or you can apply decals (stock or racing). Decals for brand lettering and side reflectors are REALLY nice. Optional drag racer, stock or something in-between. It’s nice that could use parts or delete almost at will. The body to frame fit is really novel and fantastic (the tub sits on the frame, then you eventually glue the body to the lower half with skidplates that hold all in place). The engine bay has plenty of room for improvement through plumbing you can add. It can turn out really neat and clean with patience. However, this kit has limitations. Rivet counters will argue this and that for accuracy, and the windshield does not fit very well. The price is not great for this old of a kit. But, it is a great place to begin a really nice project.

I had a good time on this build. It has typical amt issues like poor fitting and/or warped parts, so it will require some modeling skills. The top is the worst part. It is supposed to be removable and it can be if you don’t mind the sides flairing out and warped on the front. I glued mine in place and it looks good. This kit could use some extras like Jerry cans and outside spare carrier like they did with the Broncos. All in all a good kit, but you’ll need take your time, use your skills, and remedy the aforementioned flaws. Have fun.

Great model to build can't wait to get started on it
