Review Summary

The reviews highlight that this kit is generally well-regarded for its ease of assembly and versatility, accommodating various 1/25 scale vehicles and offering customization options like modifying the frame or adding hinges to the hood. However, several users noted challenges with outdated molds, requiring significant sanding and fitting, as well as issues with instruction clarity and part alignment, particularly with the hood and cab fitment. Patience and experience are frequently recommended to achieve a satisfactory result.

Several problems

By: marty525

Instruction sheet shows some parts incorrectly and poor detail on exact placement. Must be extremely careful to locate and check fit and placement of parts before cementing. Find it strange after carefully putting the engine together with all its hoses and filters that the hood has no hinging mechanism to show the engine. Instructions say to cement the hood in place which covers the engine totally. If parts are not placed in exact spot, then cab and hood will not fit.

Ford LN 8000 Race Car Hauler

By: enough35046

This kit as many of the AMT kits - is a re-release. I first built this kit in 1982 (or near there). Easy construction as far as building it. The hauler area will accomadate any 1/25 scale car or truck. This is a great kit and highly recommended to semi-pro or pro builder.

A good kit

By: polockman (Lagro, IN)

This vehicle goes together pretty well with instructions that are pretty easy to follow. One word of advice: make sure the frame is straight and square and that your attachment points for the cab and hood are lined up - or else the hood and the cab will not fit flush.
