Jared Roach Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Hey guys long time since I've posted here. I got out of the hobby for a few years while going back to school and stuff. Well with it being winter and the 1:1 in storage I decided to get back into this hobby. And I'm loving it again Well here is the my 93 sonoma based on the recent reissue of the lindberg 1/20 kit. Overall happy with the end result, but tbh this kit isn't very accurate or goes together particularly well lol the front grill isn't correct, it sits way too high outta the box, it only included decals for the sides and not the front and rear bumpers, completely wrong engine(so it's built with the hood shut) etc... lol Modified suspension to sit stock, drilled out the ends of the exhaust tips and mirrors from a revell/monogram first gen s10. Other that it's basicly box stock other then basic paint detailing. It's not a bad build by anymeans but me being a s-series nut I can find the faults Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Excellent build, but holy cow did they get that front end wrong or what?! Can't say I've ever seen a console shift on a reg cab S10 that wasn't a Syclone. Anyway, great build on a so-so kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I owned an 82, 88 and a 91 and while I would love to build this kit, I think I will pass as the obvious details that are wrong are a deal breaker for me.

Jared Roach Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 Thanks guys. Yeah i knew it was based on the Syclone kit that's why I built it with the hood shut. 50 minutes ago, mikemodeler said: Those things caught my eye too!

I've got a 99 sonoma, little newer then those but I love them all. This is my project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I love the 1:25-ish mirrors and grille emblem. The 1:20 Lindberg kits were okay for the most part, just sort of an odd scale for most people. I just wonder why they're being reissued as AMT kits. If they don't want to use the Lindberg name, slap MPC on 'em... George Toeteff (spelling?) started dabbling with the 1:20 scale kits back when he was in charge of MPC, and tried it again with Lindberg in the '90's.
