    Really nice, I enjoy your attitude with building, as we all experience issues with builds, you work through them and move on.

      Thank You! As with most everyone in this hobby, I do have my days, some good, some bad. Generally speaking though, the times when I do get frustrated with a build I set it aside for a bit. After maybe a day or so, I will come back to it a with a level head and figure out a solution to the issue. Thank you for the kind words and for watching my channel.

    Another great build, like the paint scheme, and the tires much better

      Thank You! I wasn't impressed with the tires that came with it. Now I don't feel so bad about trashing that Dakota kit.

    It come out really nice. I have two of these; but honestly, I bought them for parts. The Dakota tires fit very well.🤓👍

      Thank You! With a little effort these do build up into a nice looking kit. When I was first looking at the tire choices in the box I didn't really like the two options. This is a four wheel drive vehicle and to me that screams "All Terrain Tires!". So, I was glad to discover that the Dakota tires would fit. Thanks For Watching!

      Thank You! I've always said that there are two color combinations that will always go well together. Those are Gold and Black, and Orange and Black.

    Looks great, I have this same kit in my stash, I'm looking forward to doing mine, now,. I didn't think I'd like the color when I first saw it, but the completed model looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

    AMT kits can be a bit of a rough one. I've yet to have one go together with out some kinda problems.. It's just how they are. But I'm very impressed with your build, very nice.. And your tires choice is definitely the way to go.👍 Nice work and I enjoyed your build up and your video. Appreciate you taking the time to share it with us.👍🇺🇸

    • @scaleautoguysworkbench
      @scaleautoguysworkbench  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank You Again! This did have a bit more of a challenge than I expected. It wasn't anything to overwhelming though. When I first looked at the tire choices that were offered I knew that I had to come up with something better. I am grateful for TH-cam's existence so that I can share this hobby with you all. Thank you again for the kind words and for watching my channel.

      @scaleautoguysworkbench  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank You! There are a plethora of color combinations that could be done with this kit. Are you planning on a light or a darker shade of Ochre? Either way it should look great! Good Luck on your build!!

      @@ruckusrodkustom8140 I thought about having the small tires on for a "new" appearance but only for a moment. I wanted it to look like a "new" truck that the owner immediately upgraded the tires on when he added the lift kit. Either way looks good.

      @urbanurchin5930 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, the one in my stash is also from Walmart - I think it was about $12. I do remember building this back in the 70's - but don't
      know whatever happened to it. If you go back, and look at the images on the side of the box - that shows several different colors
      of the suspension and undercarriage parts - I do remember that - this is how I painted mine. I also have two of the Blazer that had
      the construction company decals.....too many kits - not enough time......

      It's really not that bad of a kit overall. It does have a few flaws to overcome but in the end it builds out pretty nice and for $7 you can't go wrong. Good luck with your build!
