Reviews : Revell-Monogram 1976 Chevy Sport Stepside Pickup 4x4

So, as with any kit, this went through a wash of Dawn dish detergent to remove any mold release agents. All parts were then painted with a Rustoleum primer, as is my standard fashion with any kit. In 1/24th scale the parts are ever so slightly larger that 1/25th parts, but you could easily use any 1/25th parts you would want to. The parts are molded nice and crisp, however, you will need to do some standard flash clean up, as flash was minimal. The kit builds into a nice representation of a Squarebody Chevy pickup truck with some extras in box including an antenna for a CB, the CB itself, and not many others. The engine bay is just OK with a pretty standard generic 350 Chevy small block. But, if one wanted to, you could really spice up that engine bay. The interior is really on the soft side with weak engraving for the door panels and seats, but the dash in an excellent representation of the real truck. The Chevy Rally wheels for this Squarebody truck really set it off. Hands down the best parts of this kit and could easily be used for other models. Exhaust and suspension is straight, forward and easy. Decals can be challenging at times. You want to make sure to use some decal setting solution with these decals. I used Micromark Microset, and Microsol and still had problems as noted in the Pix. Body was painted with a craft acrylic from WMart and used Rustoleum clear with no polishing and turned out like you see. Pros of this kit are, 1. Super awesome subject matter. Can't go wrong with a Squarebody whatsoever. 2. Ummm, Chevy Sqaurebody. What else needs said? 3. Excellent wheel and tire package. Arguably the best rally wheels for a Chevy truck? Cons of this kit are, 1. Gluing the back of the cab to the rest of the cab after interior insertion. 2. Decals can be extremely fragile. 3. Might not be appealing to young modelers. Would I recommend this kit? ABSOLUTELY! This was a fun, easy going build. Build it for yourself and you can't go wrong. Would I build another? ABSOLUTELY! And I wouldn't hesitate ordering from Hobbylinc. I have had excellent shipping times and service with Hobbylinc. No problems whatsoever. HOBBYLINC IS MY HANDS DOWN GO TO FOR MY MODELING NEEDS.

I would very much recommend this kit – if for no other reason than the decal sheet in the kit. I have never seen a better, perfectly-registered set of decals that includes dash, seat belts, modest door panels, bowties for each wheel and the front grill and the slashes and flashes for the truck exterior are really outstanding! I opened this kit, and got really excited. The detail is really nice (except for the complete lack of door panels and the firewall has no brake master cylinder or any defrost/heater housing. One drawback was that both front and back windshield had scratches that really marred the finish. Thankfully mop-n-glow took care of those. It has 102 parts, and I used all but a handful. Get this kit! It is worth the money and could be modified to no end!

Cool kit. Not sure but this may be the mold for the Billy Beer truck from around 1977. I was 14 in 77. Star Wars was out, and the Billy Beer kit. I had to go to work with mom while she cleaned offices. We were slightly poor so no paints just the kit and crappy sniff proof glue. That stuff couldn't paper together. But it was good times. This kit seems to have a few options. The tires are a bit of a let down. They are not bad, just not as knobby as you would think. Again i bought this one on sale, can't beat a nice truck kit on sale. Ordered this with the lindberg police car kit. I think 2 kits and shipping under 40 bucks. That is a bargin no matter how you look at it.

Well, this kit wound up more VCG by Reese than Revell, but it was still a pretty good setup! I had picked up a wrecker body from VCG some time ago, with the idea of making a 65 Chevy stepside into a 4x4 with Budd duals ... I couldn't come up with a good way to do it. Then I discovered it would fit here, already a 4x4, so ..... Body lines are good, not much flashing or mold lines. Dash was NICE. Interior was a bucket, making it harder to detail. I put in a Cummins 4BT, replaced the differentials, added Budds, added roof lights, and a variety of other VCG parts... I'm going to have to get another to build up box stock!!

This is a kit that is really a true pleasure to put together. There is altogether zero flash to concern yourself with and the parts almost just fall into place because they're so well designed, molded, and crafted. Definitely would be a great kit for a newer hobbyist looking to start on kits involving gluing parts together.

This is a great truck kit. The parts are good quality and the instructions are straightforward. The build is very straightforward. The decals are excellent and very detailed. This is my first truck kit and I look forward to building it. This will be a great build of a classic truck.

This was a fun kit to build. You get a choice to do it pure stock or baja or mix and match like I did. Parts all fit well and just a little bit of flashing. All in all good kit.

I bought this kit but haven’t started it yet. I am excited to however! I’m going to be doing a replica of one of my favorite movie trucks.

I really like this kit I've had it 3 different times now and only one has been finished ?

Easy to assemble. All parts where present.good looking model. I own the life size version.

I love this kit and exchange a changeable with the plow truck and the big game country kits
