Well this is my 3 MPC model in a row, and this one turned out decent. It all starts when you look at the box. Very bright colorful and just inviting you to crack it open. Upon opening you are greeted by a great D100 Dodge truck body and bed that will leave most truck modelers smiling. The model of the truck was great with very minimal mold lines. All the parts trees were great, molded completely and had very little flash on my copy. The kit had some clear and red plastic for windows, tail lights and a roof mounted flasher. All were molded cleanly and clearly. Deeper into the box revealed 4 tires with great tread detail and white lines on one side and plain on the other. There are 4 differnt tire combinations you can choose from. Chrome parts were chromed fairly well and had a rough spot with the fragile trim around the tail lights, even after I glued the red lenses into the chrome trim prior to cutting from the chrome sprue. There is a great decal sheet with a couple of options for door signage, which is always cool to have. The instruction sheet is pretty generic but you get a built model if you follow it.
Pros to this kit are, a great truck when finished, extra parts including a minibike, toolbox, floor jack, some tools and some 4 wheel drive parts. (Is there a 4 wheel drive version coming?) Cons to this kit are, some warpage to the chassis that needed some heat treatment so the truck didn't look broken in half, and where the grill meets the top and front of fenders, it looks like it was short a little material. A little body filler helped out there.
All in all, was a nice kit and restore a little of my faith in MPC kits. Buy it for a great truck to add to the sea of Chevy and Fords out there.
