AMT Escalade EXT 2 n' 1
Well, just got back from LHS. Picked up the Tamiya 307, looks OK in person. The brakes suck the big one, and definately needs the PE set, also picked up. Got the Revell US release Ferrari Scag
and the new AMT Escalade truck.
AMT decided to not fully suck on this one. It has stock parts. It also comes with HUGE
rims and the rubberband tires for them. Castings are weak. Bed has seperate bed cover. Mid gate is seperate piece, but interior glass and seat do not seperate. Will have to take care of this. Really nice looking new kit(for once) from AMT. Reminds me of the Chevy pick-ups of the early nineties which also produced the snap kits. Maybe AMT will make a few variants off of this tool(doubt it tho).
In scale with the Revell Escalade.
Not in scale with the Joyride diecast. No parts shared either. Good thing.
Thanks
