USA-1 Chevy Monster Truck
Posted by wingform84 on Saturday, March 7, 2009 3:35 PM

Decided to build one of the monster trucks I had just for somthing a little different.  1:25 scale AMT/ERTL kit from 2002, so it was made a few years before they started doing their "Monster Jam" line.  It was pretty simple compared to the Grave Digger kit I opened from the MJ line, so I'm guessing the other couple I have from this line would be too.

 

 I didn't have any fit issues really, the only real problem is that the instruction color scheme was different from the box example (I went by the box cuz it looked better).  The only real problem I encountered was putting the wheels on, because they were pegs that had the big head to lock the wheel on and allow it to roll, but shoving it through the hole was a pain. There are a few flaws in the paint, especially around the engine but mostly because of using too much glue in a few places.  Ah well, I'm still happy with it.  No super detail but eh I'm building them for myself and ususally once I finish one and sit it on the shelf I never open the hood again.
