Helping my oldest boy with his first kit, he likes trucks so we are trying the Revell 78 GMC camo truck, box stock.
Here is a photo of our starting point

Nicely done indeed, especially in such a scale. I am very interested in seeing more of this build.
Thank you for sharing this picture.

A great start. It is always good for the hobby to encourage newcomers. I hope you and your son enjoy your journey and that he becomes a model builder too!
Got the frame built and detailed up, looks pretty good I think. I didn’t care for how the front sway bar attaches just to the frame, but like I said, box stock … Considering removing the copyright off the left tank, may do that later. Should have worked the trans seam a bit, but like I said it’s his first kit.

Hello and welcome to FSM
Well we had a serious oops, the tube of cement had gotten a crack in it and leaked out on to the bottom of the body, melting about a 1/4 " hole into it while it was sitting in the box. I got it filled up with superglue and hardener, and roughed it in with a file but rescribing the door opening lines wont be any fun. any suggestions for doing that?
