  • For the Big Rig Group Build I start AMT's GMC Astro 95, I've got some work arounds for some fit issues...…
    P. S. : since I made this video I've cut the back and the rear part of the side walls off the cab interior tub so that I can sort of tip it in past the hinges. I can use the part for the closed curtains if I need to hide the damage. I've also discovered that you need spacers on the rear brake parts so that they don't rub the tires.

    I'm building this kit right now! I agree mocking up parts first, is crucial. I too noticed that some parts can't go on in order listed! I had to omit a few things, amd or modify them. I love these GMC Astro 95 and Chevrolet Titan 90 trucks! So I'll be able to do a better job on the other 4 Astro 95 kits I have! It didn't help that I'm an amateur builder, going from a Monogram 1/32 scale Chevrolet Bison, straight to this AMT kit!

    Oh yea, same stuff as the Titan. Same challenges. Glad to see you got the hinges on, but now there's more stuff that has to go on there that will have to be modified around the hinges. Of course I built in the reverse order and the hinges aren't on yet. But I can see that the Dremel will have to come out.

      yep, I've cut the back and the rear part of the side walls off the cab interior tub so that I can sort of tip it in past the hinges. I can use the part for the closed curtains if I need to hide the damage. Welcome to the channel!

    Welcome to the party! Seems like ever big rig kit needs at least one part to be ripped off after gluing in place. I have at least 4 so far on mine. Good luck!!

      Hi Donald, this video is pretty early in construction. There are two more videos before it is finished, she does get painted eventually. Thanks for watching.
