AMT Construction Bulldozer 1:25 Scale Model Kit, White (AMT1086)

When I was a child up to a teen I built plastic models of just about everything but enjoyed the semi trucks the most because they were unique and big kits. A few years ago I saw that AMT re-released all those 1/25 scale semi truck kits again. All the same kits I built as a kid are available again, I bought a few of my remembered favorites. Then I saw this, a 1/25 scale dozer how cool is that! Great kit with minimal excessive flashing or offset. A few a these AMT kits are being pulled from old worn molds from made in the 70's. You see that with the excessive flashing around the part which requires a lot of sanding and trimming not so much with this kit. Honestly it looks like the kit was drawn in brand new molds, no flashing disaster like AMT's "Lowboy" trailer kit. Good kit highly recommend if your are looking for 1/25 scale construction equipment. Wish they'd produce a 1/25 excavator or bucket loader.

I needed a 1/25th scale load for the A64B Autocar amt and the 2 AMT lowboy trailers i used to build this lowboy Trailer and truck i built and chose this amt construction bulldozer. it has very little if no flash and goes together as per instructions. great addition to my truck and trailer display. i recommend this kit for any one looking to build it. all amt kits, but the decals are crap. very brittle and hard to place. hard to see but even the decals on this display were torn but slid together which worked. had to trash a couple decals but because i had two trailers i had extra decals. never experienced this with the older kits years ago. they need to fix this cause the decals are the main part in some of the details. and i am not inexperienced at building these. i been building these kits since the 1960's. so it's the decals and not my inexperience.

I have built a lowboy trailer and this will go on it, in a construction scene.

This is the second construction bulldozer I'm building. I dropped the first one trying to move it to another bookcase. The assembly will be easier this time as I know how it goes together. The kit is molded in yellow with chrome accessories. The tracks are assembled by connecting the pieces one at a time, being careful not to break the pins that hold the tracks in one piece. The instructions are vague as to where parts go on the model. The drawings are rather hard to understand, but it's a case of trial and error. I'm taking my time and will see how it turns out. It will fit on the AMT lowboy 880 kit with ease. If you want to build a bulldozer get this kit.

I am always looking for a fun and challenging model project. I have found AMT's trucks to be both fun and challenging. Not difficult but challenging. 250+ parts, with three different attachments. I don't typically weather my models but this tractor gave me a great opportunity to weather. The tracks are not the typical one piece rubber. They are individual pieces that are put together creating a wonderful set. They are extremely well made, like the rest of the model. Although the majority is molded in yellow, I chose to paint it, but I'm certain you could build it without painting and it would be very nice. This would be a great project for a bonding build and could be completed over a weekend.

Probably took 3 times as long to build as it should have because the instructions are pretty much useless. But it made a good base for a Killdozer kitbash.

Gift for grandson and he loved it. It's pretty big when built. Nice model.

This model does not have parts numbered so your stuck trying to match the instructions to the parts and the instructions are poorly done.

I bought this to build as a gift for the last remaining veteran in his home town, being he loves dozers and owned one of these. There were missing parts for the tracks, which I had to fabricate myself, as well as warped parts that needed to be modified in order to fit properly.

Me gustó, voy a comprar otro tal vez otra marca y comparó

Modeling of model is very poorly doneNothing lines up and instructions are poorly written.
