I was pleasantly surprised when the UPS guy dropped off this package (I wasn’t quite expecting it so soon). Below is a shot of the kit box, notice the “Just for Fun” on the box.
As you can see from the photo below, there’s not much to the kit. Notice also, we are again using our trusty Jumbo Cow Mat to build on. Here you see the tires, chassis plates, body, manual, axle, and decals. This is literally everything in the box.
I was in a SUPER hurry to get this kit completed (it was almost 60 degrees outside). The first thing I did was prep the body so that my liquid mask had ample drying time while I was wrenching. When I was applying the liquid mask I noticed that this body is surprisingly thick. This is good, makes sure it will be durable enough to endure the carnage ahead. Here’s a couple shots of the body unpainted.
Next we’ll start on the chassis.
