Dragline Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 This is a cool ride. I hear this kit has become a bear to build over the years. How did this rate in terms of flash etc? Looks like you overcame them, just curious. Well built little filly. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't build or post a whole lot, when the weather turns cold I'm back at the models. the kit was actually pretty OK. it spent a good amount of time sanding and prepping the body. there were some sink marks, etc that I had to fill. and yes, there was a fair amount of flash on some of the parts, esp the bigger stuff like the doors. you can see the front bed panel didn't cooperate and the axles needed some mods to get it to sit relatively straight, but for a $10 ebay kit I can't complain too much. and the decals weren't great, even microset couldn't get them to sit down great. that said I will be getting another to top with a Jimmy Flintstone body, but I'll leave the engine in the front.

I have recent issue and a '93 issue of the LRW kit and haven't encountered much in the way of flash. It was the 4th Lindberg kit I purchased this year and I'm mostly happy with these kits. I know they'll be issues with the doors so I'm prepared for that. I also have the L-700 but no plans to build anytime soon. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlzrocks Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Looks like a great job on a tricky kit. I did this one earlier this year and the flash was such an inconvenience. Your LRW looks cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disabled modeler Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 (edited) you all know the doors are different on the dodge L 700 from the little red wagon kit by lindberg............
