A Revell
Chevy SSR Panel Truck
The
resin body is by Jimmy Flintstone.
All the rest of the parts are from the Revell kit.
It's
painted Testors Gloss Red. I didn't intend to really build
it stock, more as a custom. On the real SSR the dash is
black (UGLY ! Gee, for the price of the real truck, you
would think GM would make the dash match the color of the
vehicle.) but I color coordinated mine to match the body
color, as well as some of the interior and engine bay.
For
the most part, the body fit well. I only had to make a few
trim modifications to get it to fit the chassis. I didn't
use the resin hood, but used the stock one with the kit.
The resin one didn't seem to fit as well, but part of that
is my laziness to dremel the snot out of it to make it thinner.
I just didn't feel like taking the time to do it.
I
reused the real window, I trimmed it down to fit on the
inside. The front window is tough to fit, but can be done
if you are not to fussy about the small gaps. (I'm not).
Overall,
the body was quite detailed. Even the small third brake
light fit into the slit in the back door.
The
Revell kit includes netting / mesh for the front grille,
and also metal tailpipe tips.
