Reviews : Revell-Monogram Mack R Semi Truck

These smaller 1/32nd scale semi kits are great I use them for a diorama I have and I put these kits in the “Garage” like they're getting service work their cheap so I can cut and do whatever I want to them this kit is very nicely detailed and there very cheap I used this one in the garage and they’re also nice because they fit in the garage I have for them which would not really fit the size of 2 1/25th scale kits but with this size they fit nicely I love building them and it does not take a long time depending on how much I modify the truck it might take about 1 week maximum after paint and customization but without takes about 25 minutes PROS: small perfect for small scale dioramas, fun to build, lots of custom ways to build, cheap, very little flash CONS: no engine, nit as detailed as the 1/25th scales, there is no 1/25th scale variant out for these trucks, not very many trailers out for them either if you want one of these for a diorama or even just want a semi you should think of these they're fun to build and very cheap.

this kit will be frustrating for the novice builder the rear axles on the trailer are a pain and will constantly try to pop out from the trailer frame. the tires on the truck are plastic halves and are wobbly. the cab can be tricky as you are assembling several pieces at once the grill will pop out at the most frustrating times as you put the cab on the frame. the railing and plumbing didn't give too much trouble but had their moments especially under the trailer as the instructions are confusing but you will figure it out in a few trial and error attempts. the decals for the trailer are large and can be tricky but not impossible to line up correctly if you plan your moves and are patient.that said once built the truck looks great but don't touch it or something will fall off like the mirrors.

I think this truck is cool but i did have problems at times some pieces not staying in place and the instructions at times were very confusing and it was hard to understand them but it was my first ever tractor trailer kit and i love it but just be aware i wish though that the frame came black and there were more customization parts

This kit is a quick and easy build! Even with that, it was still fun. I'd recommend it for those just entering the modeling world.

I like the Mack truck. Love the color too. If you like semis this is a great starter build
