Daddyfink Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Picked up an AMT Coca Cola Peterbilt and Great Dane Trailer at Walmart. They took the leftover kits from the Holiday AMT Bin and stuck them over by the R/C toys, I check the price and they showed at $25 each, so I grabbed them. They rang up at 29.95, but I showed my phone price scan to the cashier and she discounted them for me. So go take a look, they are knocking down the price on these to clear them out.

Seems like it’s a high parts count for 1/32 scale! It's a soon to be new re-release. I'll get back to you when it lands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Just won this on eBay. I like the paint job. Can't wait to see how good it looks. If it needs it I'll strip it and repaint the same. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

64SS350 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 As requested, everything looks very nice. I feel similar about curbside kits, or low part count kits, but I also bought for the subject matter. It has a detailed engine bay and removable engine plate, so a power plant can be added.

Is this a "Test kit" of sorts or are they out now? Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also from Wal-Mart, a can of Rustoleum Matte Clear spray paint. Reply/quote to Mike999. No idea how this became my own stand alone post?! I've built that trailer, it looks great when completed. A heads-up though, the parts on the sprues are not numbered. The side panels and roof can be fitted in the wrong order and still fit nicely! but it'll screw you when it comes time to fitting the rear door frame and roof panels. I checked a hundred times to make sure I had the panels in the right order and I Still messed it up... twice! First attempt I had a huge gap around the rear door frame, the second attempt I thought I got it right so I glued it all together, then I found the side panels were still in the wrong places and ended up with a missing rib where the two side panels meet. There is a reinforcement piece that fits in the middle of the trailer to stop the roof sagging, if the side panels are in the wrong order that piece becomes useless!

Maybe I'll stop in to B and B this week and see if they have any on order. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
