There are many monster's to choose from, AMT/ERTL has a few newer ones (the monster jam line for example), and lindberg has two out now that I know of, the Raminator and Ramunition and every Lindberg kit I've done has been good, but they're a little more ($20~$30 range at my LHS, and online too).  I've not built any of them though Whistling [:-^] I have opened the Grave Digger from the AMT/ERTL Monster Jam line and it looked.. really complicated so I closed it back and put it back in my stash.

I've built one of the Lindberg Dodge kits. Don't really see where they could have been any better. Even the decals worked well and the side ones are huge. It's a bit of a challenge to get the frame together in a 17 step marathon but the results are rewarding. it's a sturdy piece when it's done, too.

Here's a 1/5000 edition. I paid $30 but have seen them for $12 on epay. They won't last too long I suspect. Skill level 3.

The Lindbergh kits would be the way to go. i built the Rammunition and it was a great build, lots of details. I did a couple of the AMT bigfoot kits for a wedding cake and was not nearly as impressed.

 

You can see the Rammunition I did on this page-

I look at your Dodge build and was impressed. I notice you had a grill in your truck? Does that come with the kit?

Thanks in adavnce, Bill.
