Beeg Juanito Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 First Good (and only Good) thing I'd like to say about this old MPC kit is that I installed a 427 Ford Cammer instead of the Chevy big block! I have only built one other model that I considered worse than this one and that was an MPC tilt nose 57 Corvette! Both don't know how close they came to becoming targets at the local shooting range! BUT I bit my lip (Very hard) and endeavored to persevere! They both turned out alright, but I would NEVER recommend either of them to anyone! The engine is all wired and plumed and I scratch built the complete exhaust system. (I think that is the best thing about the whole Model!) What is your WORST model?

rmvw guy Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 It turned out pretty decent. We had a wip on here in 2012 in community builds for worst kits or "Nightmare Kits". Mine was the Monogram '55 Chevy. here's the link. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=68202 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo Jutt Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I built the same truck. And it almost met the basement floor a few times!!! But with the right camera angle it turned out not too bad. Yours turned out great. Love the black it turned out nice. Looks like it just came out of the wash!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
