Here is a
little truck
that right
out of the
box will
steal your
heart.
Detail on
this model
is truly
exciting as you note to what extent DM has gone to create
exact detail.
The Dodge Red and Black color is perfect for this body style
and the paint is smooth almost to the point of looking "wet".
Balance and proportions are correct and the fit of the doors,
hood and other moving parts are tight and withstand close
scrutiny. Door hinges are flawless in style and size ratio. The
front windshield on this model opens out as did the original
truck. (A word of caution. Opening the window on the model
reviewed caused one wiper blade to disconnect. Be happy
knowing the window opens without frequent testing).
Downward pressure on the top of the truck reveals that DM
has included a realistic suspension. If you want to put your
eyes to a real test, try reading the fine writing on the
carburetor air filter label or the word "Dodge" inscribed on
the jeweled tail light. It's all there. The driver’s side view
mirror is hinged and adjustable and if you raise the front seat,
you can sneak a look at the jack and associated tire changing
equipment stored there. The moon hubcaps with the
embossed Dodge name in black letters is clean and in crisp
detail. The same is true for the ram hood mascot. This puppy
has it all. Danbury will add luster to its name with this release. The issue price is $118 + S&H. (06/26/1998)
