They released the build instructions for it. They did a real nice job on the cab detail, better than the other "American" style cabs. I like the way they put the battery in the sleeper and used the vents on the BOC to latch the removable back wall, nice touch!

oops. I do like all the detail on the Body. I will be watching the release, I may even just preorder if I can and just await the delivery. At Tower Hobbies I have a Coupon for $100 of a $625 Order. That is perfect.

It does look like they put a lot more effort into detail on this one. I really like the new us style tail piece. I can see it being used on a lot of builds. much better than that unrealistic taillight set-up on the other kits

Even with the $107.00 shipping, it's still cheaper than Tower Hobbies at $469.99. I don't have the $$ right now, but will in a few weeks, then I'm pre-ordering.

Keep in mind when Tower gets the truck in stock the price may change. I've seen them do this numerous times.

I see one of these in my future maybe this summer. Would love to do a "USA truck" replica. I always loved that old logo they have

Stella has a deal if you spend x amount a year beleve it is 500.00 you get cut rate shipping... The shipping on that kit I only paid 32.85 + $320 shipped to my door it pays to buy from stella in the long run am already robbing parts out of the kit for another build and going to start on it soon..
