1980 Jeep Honcho Ice Patrol

This kit was below my expectation. The grille, bumpers, etc were not chrome plated. I choose to do them in black to match the rugged look. No firewall details like wiring or master cylinder. Starter, battery, washer bottle and radiator were molded in. Tail lights were molded, no red plastic. Details on exposed wheels were just barely visible. The dash decals and details were good but rest of the interior was sub-par; you could barely see the door and window handles. Many of the parts were too closely attached to the sprue and could not be cleanly removed. You don't get much for your buck; there are better kits for the same money but if you like pick-ups and must have it, you can make it look pretty good; just know what to expect. I'm recommending it only because, once completed it looks OK.

This kit has some of the most precision fitting parts I've worked with so far. Everything fits exactly like it's supposed to. Even the holes for the mirrors are exactly where they should be in the decals. The red ring decals for the wheels are a super nice touch, and look great when applied. I messed mine up with the wrong clear coat. Oh well. The ONLY place it falls short is the tail lights. None were included, and they're just molded into the tail piece. I didn't build the snowmobile, it wasn't what I was looking for. No chrome pieces at all. Use your discretion as to what color you prefer on bumpers and grill. You'll enjoy building this kit!

I enjoyed building this kit it was fun I didn’t mind that there were no chrome pieces I built my completely stock.
