Thanks!

Sahweet! MENG's detail is clean and crisp in the other kits that I have of theirs.

Maybe they'll do more PU trucks in the future if this one sells profitably. Maybe in 1/35 too?

Right now this truck has a suggested price of $74 US. I'm sure it's going to be a nice kit, but that's a little too steep for me for a PU.

$75 USD is too high for me too.

no motor, no tranny... otherwise known as "curbside" for $75 no thanks

Sounds like this isn't a curbside kit:

The precision and complex engine bay is fully represented.

We'll see when we have a review done on it. The MSRP is steep, more than I expected...hopefully it will retail for just a little more than Aoshima/Fujimi kits (~$43 bucks at Luckymodel, although shipping kills it). I wouldn't expect Revell/Monogram pricing though

hard to tell from the small sprue pic... maybe I'm wrong

The sprue far right middle looks like the engine parts and the upper right corner looks like the Revell style 1 piece chassis.

But at $75. though ….

I'll probably end up buying it anyway

I find it interesting that a Chinese company made this kit and not an American one since American model makers usually dominate the auto model market. I agree that $75 is steep...that's the price of Trumpeter's 1/24 modern ALF fire engine with a lot more parts and details.

It's a nice and welcome kit however.

According to pictures on the MENG website it has a detailed engine and engine bay
