Finally, another truck to put on my shelf. This model was fun to put together, although it was challenging at times. I got to spend many hours making sure everything was just right and then when it seemed like all I was doing was painting small parts and touch ups here and there, it came together in probably my best model to date. The bed was my favorite. The wood grain was molded very weel on both the inside and the bottom of the bed. Only 4 hours of various washes to get the look I wanted. I recommend this kit for the truck lover such as myself.

If you're into Chevy pickup trucks, this nicely detailed kit would be a great addition to your collection. The 6-cylinder engine and under-hood area, frame and suspension, truck bed, and interior have a good level of detail, and the overall design of the kit is generally well thought out. And the included go-kart kit is a nice bonus. I did encounter a few problems with the kit, though. Some of the assembly drawings are not very clear, so the modeler must take extra care to be sure he understands how the parts fit together. The fit of the front of the engine compartment was quite poor, and required a good a bit of work to achieve a decent fit. The tires are poorly molded, with the mold halves about 1/2mm out of alignment. And the bed requires a bit of a juggling act to attach it to the chassis and cab assembly, putting the paint job at risk. If you're an experienced modeler, you've likely encountered similar problems with other kits, so this kit won't be much of a problem for you. The beginner, however, will want to take his time with this kit.

I purchased this because of the go cart. I enjoy these kits with the extra accessories.
