Chuck Most Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I want a few honest opinions on this one. It doesn't look like all that great of a kit judging from the box art, and I'm just wondering how workable it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 The worst thing about this kit is that it's the only American truck kit in 1/20. There's no trailers available for it. It was originally issued as an assembled "toy" in yellow plastic and then later by Testors as a kit in red plastic. Chassis parts were molded in black on both versions. It's a curbside from what I remember. The original versions were molded in a more flexible type plastic being that it was also issued as a toy. I don't have Lindbergs version but I think someone mentioned that they molded it in regular styrene. It does build into a nice looking Peterbilt but there's not much you can do with it without some serious scratchbuilding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
