A great 1/25 scale addition to a modeler's collection of a true icon pick-up truck of yesteryear.
The AMT 1/25 1955 Chevy Cameo pick-up truck model is a plastic gem. The inclusion of period Coca-Cola decals just made a excellent molded kit fantastic.
Let's be honest: all plastic models are replicas of a real large object, and hence are fragile - not "durable". The kit parts are intended to be glued, mated together, then placed on a display shelf. Little children should not be allowed to handle such models and handle them like the older steel Tonka trucks.
The kit parts are well designed for near perfect fit; minimal putty and sanding is required. The chrome plated parts on a separate sprue are also perfect in themselves with molded detail.
This kit doesn't just have all the parts to make a great looking '55 Cameo truck: a cast metal Coca-cola machine and a handcart are included! To make the dispensing machine even more realistic, some masking and painting will be required, but well worth it.
Finally, the finished model can be displayed with hood up, showing a rather detailed engine and accessories. the instruction sheet has added paint color recommendations for selected engine components.
This kit, while easy to build from the layout and sketches on the instruction sheet, is intended for the experienced modeler. Some masking and painting will be required to make the truck shown on the box top, i.e. with red trim and bed walls, not to mention the frame and underside parts.Read full review...
