John Wiley, Redlinerestorations on EBay got my two kits today


Recommended Posts

I got my two kits today (the 84 K5 Blazer and extended cab S10). They come wrapped in bubble wrap and the smaller parts are in Zip Lock bags. No kit boxes for them. They’re not bad. The shipping was fast! Had them in a few days. The parts will require cleanup. All voids have a thin layer of flash that will need to be removed, there are some light scratches on the cowl hoods from the body work on the master but very minor. Some parts need a little work to fit better such as the hoods and the Blazer top but it’s minor. Not a problem for any skilled model builder. Finish on the bodies is smooth but not glossy. Overall I’m very happy with them! To my knowledge, nobody else currently produces either of these kits.

That Blazer looks decent, how clean is the casting? Does the kit include windows or templates to make them? Are there axles (2wd or 4wd) included? How much was it?

The Blazer kit includes the body, hood (he gave me a regular hood and a cowl hood) Blazer top, chassis, dash, firewall, two different front bumpers, a rear bumper, grill, radiator core support, interior bucket and seats. The casting are ok, I’ve seen better but these are easily workable. Finish is smooth for the most part. There are some light scratches on the cowl hood but everything else looks good. It’s designed to be used with the MPC Fall Guy GMC. The chassis is the chassis from the Fall Guy kit, I think he just shortened it a little.
