What's inside Revell's Dodge Ram VTS pickup kit? Have a look:

Having just looked the kit over, it appears to be well done with a fairly decent parts count. I find it odd that the bed and cab are molded together with a separate piece for the rear cab wall/bed front panel, but that may be due to how the body was molded. At any rate, there's a good looking Viper V-10 underhood, separate front and rear suspension systems (with a nice rear anti-sway bar for the rear), a separate tonneau cover for the bed, and a grille piece which is separate from the hood. It would've been nice if the grille piece was chromed instead of bare plastic, but since this is a full-size truck with a floor-shifted six-speed transmission, I'm willing to overlook the lack of a chromed grille. :D

In my opinion, the most interesting parts in this kit are the five (yes, five, not four) Goodyear Wrangler RT/S tires. Now, these are totally incorrect for a V-10 powered show truck, but they would be right at home on an SUV or light truck build. The tires have nice sidewall lettering and great tread detail. They’re not too knobby like an off-road mud tire, but are more aggressive than a typical on-road radial tire.

Other than that, what you see is what's inside. :D

Always thought that was kinda cool molding the bed & cab together. Just picked one up, kinda jonesing to do it like the show truck with the trailer & the viper. I yhink this was when Revell was coming into it. Todd
