mrglubaum Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 The Revell snap kit is above average detail and quality for that type of kit. I think it lends itself well to customizing. On this one, I lowered the suspension and changed out the headlights. I'm currently scratch building a front bumper and visor, then I can go ahead and finish it up!

pete359driver Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 wow that looks beautiful,ive been looking around,im pretty convinced the snap kit will be perfect for a first truck and easy to customize and the price is right thank you for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinac359 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 The Revell snap-kit is above average for the type of kit. With minor modifications it builds quite nicely. go to www.truckmodeler.com and there are several shown on the June and the July-August pages. I built a fairly box-stock unit, white with the kit decal stripes. I'm quite pleased at how it turned out. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete359driver Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 thanks tim i was thinking of adding a little glue when building it would that be a good idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinac359 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Glue? By all means! I glued this kit, prefering not to rely on snap-fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailer Mechanic Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I built the Revell reissued snap tite kit (95%) complete. For a snap kit it's NOT BAD AT ALL!!!! http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/ViewPhoto?...&p=74385422 Also I just started to building the R/G 359. This one I'm building as a day cab. I had to cut out the back of the cab of a AMT 359 to use on the R/G cab. http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/ViewPhoto?...&p=74577399 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
