Hey FrenchBlue--
Where didja order that from? I damm near resemble that! We finally got rid of our 34 year old trailer house and are now livin' in a 1979 Chevy motorhome borrowed from an indian uncle that lives on the reservation! Cant park the Jimmy in front of it 'cause its buried under tons of shyt in the shop from our house till the new one gets here! Guess I could park my pickup there to make a similar setting. I'd like to order one if you could give me info, Man!

Later---DAC

Forgot to say that I had AMT's original Blazer kit in '72 and I still remember it well even tho I lost it in a flood in June of that year. Very well detailed kit IMO, and I'm guessing this is probly a re-pop of that one.

Just ordered mine with a few mods they happened to have. Will post pics when finished. Hoping to make it look as close to what I want to do to mine.

I can't find where they have that one listed. I see the pic of it on the e-bay site, but don't actually see where it is listed for sale.

We should have a contest to see who can build the nicest one. Most detail, closest to personal vehicle, originality etc.

I want to buy some`72 Fleetside kits and paint them all over in factory matched colors like the promos.Not a challenging approach,but I`d like to create some "what if" promos to sit with my originals.

I thought that picture of the model up top was a was cruel joke you were playing on someone here. Looked like a photoshop. Looks like it is scaled perfectly. I would love to build one, but I'd rather work on the real thing.

Here we go its a pretty good kit and even comes with feathers decal kit with it... I do need to order one of the cowl induction hood for it and figure out how to fit the irocks on it..

Re: Anybody get one of thses yet??
 
Cool. Are those the only tires and wheels in the kit? They look pretty massive. Is the wood grain CST trim included? Keep the pictures coming. I like this. Starting to want one now...

FRENCHBLUE72 05-22-2006 12:00 AM

Re: Anybody get one of thses yet??
 
The wheels and tires I bought seperatley(sp) The kit has all kinds of options with it inclueding the decals.. It also has the spare blazer tanks like what bouncey has on his orange machine.. Very cool kit I will keep you guys posted on the build..

The CST moulding is molded on the body,no decals.You`ll have to paint then use photo-etch chrome,I think it`s called(or carefully paint silver).

Hey Tim, it's called Bare Metal Foil. It's a very thin chrome foil with glue on the back...

AMT offers an 84 GMC short fleet. I used 2 of them to build this.

I cheated, I bought the reissue from Model King for $20 and added the truck to make the camper.
