martinfan5 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Its just a reboxed of the Lindberg kit from the 90's , its 1/20th scale , it is a very decent kit outside of the the crappy scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 OK Kits IIRC....but that 1/20.....ewwwww Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pack rat Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I built the box art kit for Round2, and I was surprised at how nice this kit turned out. I would highly recommend it if you like the subject matter....and don't mind the scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddyfink Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Would love to have that engine in at least 1/24th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

426 pack Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 Thanks guys you saved my bacon big time. I never even seen that it was a 1/20 scale. i have never built a 1/20 scale and don't know why they would even make a 1/20 scale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddyfink Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 This is probably the closest to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyc Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 The Nissan builds nicely. IIRC, the Formula Desert Dogs from MPC will work on the 1/20 rims if you want something a little different. And the SATCO/Aoshima Pathfinder is a great little kit. I have it, the 4 runner they did and the Jeep Grand Cherokee from Tamiya. All nice SUVs on the shelf. 4runner pulls my bass boat from the Revell (?) set. Lindberg also did a 1/20 Toyota pickup of similar Vintage. don;t let the scale deter you if you like the subject matter. Nice kits. Way better than the Explorer they did in 1/20 - threw that in the trash, but can't remember why other than it was junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I built the 1991-1994 Explorer a couple of years ago and everything fitted nice, so nice that I bought another one to make the Eddie Bauer version. Im building the Chevrolet Blazer from Lindberg right but I have trouble with getting the parts to fit in that kit.

Young iron Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I'll buy one just for the scale. 1/20 is just the perfect scale. Slightly bigger than 1:24, perfect for better details, but not Big Scale yet. No if they could release the Grand Cherokee as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To Jon's point, the only thing missing are the U.S. Spec names - the LHD parts are still in the kits, as they're injected molded just like the rest of the model (not the resin conversion dashes that some SATCO kits came with), it just does not have the 4Runner & Pathfinder decals.

Ohhh right, silly me, they do have the parts, I dont know why I said they didnt, its the paint fumes , yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
