AMT/Model King 1972 Chevy Blazer

[Jordan White]

I plan on building up this model when I get home from school this summer. I just wanted to get a few opinions on the actual kit as far as how well it goes together, any tips on building it smoothly, and of course some pictures of how other people have built it.

I looked through the parts in the box and I love how many extra pieces they give with the kit!

I built one years ago it was a very good kit then, I have another to build I think I will build a two wheel drive version this time.

I built mine in the 70's, second kit I ever did. Had no problems with it, love the seprate frame.

The rear door hinges were hokie and I just left it off, even today I don't know how I would fix that problem..

Consider maybe a different engine, modern kits are more accurate. Other than that a good model.

As far as the engine goes, it does actually seem good, not to mention quite a few build choices.

-ram's horn manifolds or headers

-stock 4bbl, 2 4bbls (came with 2, manifold only good for 1, gonna see if I have a 2 carb manifold laying around), or velocity stacks

-stock air cleaner or tall aftermarket air cleaner

I built one a few years ago. The only problems I had were with the rear and side windows. I ended up making mylar windows

This fits right in if you want to upgrade the motor

Looks awesome! Love the color and the stance!

I have two from when they first came out. They build into very nice models. Much better than the 79 Bronco actually . I hate to say that because I love Fords.

I actually found an older version of this model in a box of my uncle's old model kits. It was one of my first paint-and-glue kits, and it didn't have all the pieces, so it didn't go together very good. I recently purchased the complete kit, so I could put them side by side when done, and show off how far along I've come. It should be interesting!

I built mine box stock. I'd say it goes together quite well. The main thing that bothered me is there's nothing to locate and hold the interior tub to the body.
