AMT 1940 Wiillys Pickup

This is AMT's latest reissue of the 1940 Wiilys 2 'N' 1 kit built 100% out the box except for one decal on the tailgate. Base color is Krylon Peek a Boo Blue, followed by a thin coat of pearl blue flip flop, and some urethane clear to seal it all. This was a favorite kit when I was a kid and it still builds pretty much hassle free after all these years. The kit builds into a pretty nice model with a little work...it does need some tweaking here and there but doesn't need a lot of additional detailing to look good sitting on the shelf. The new wheels and tires included in this issue are a big improvement compared to the old ones.

All in all, a fun build with a whole bunch of nostalgia thrown in. Thanks for takin' time to have a look.

Aloha...Pete

Carl...except for the little red guy on the tailgate all the decals are in the box.

Brandon..the 2nd and 3rd picture were taken outside, it wasn't real sunny that day but the pearl is a little more pronounced in those pics.

Thanks...Pete
