Hi Dave ,not really my bag as they say and although they are stocked here in the UK cant comment on the contents but I do know that they make a vast range of trucks(we'd call em lorries) and cars and seem popular amongst that fraternity id have thought a trawl of the net would come up with a in box/build go on take the dive would joke a intresting build to follow.Dave

Depends on the kit. I've built a good number of AMT kits over the years, some are terrible - the Ford Torino Fastback is one; others not too bad.

I do love MPC and Monogram car kits. I rarely build Tamiya car kits because they're all imports / racer kits. Not my forte of automobile to build.

Italeri kits are pure garbage. I'd avoid them like the plague. Too many errors scale wise.

They sell them at Hobby lobby for way cheaper price. I've built one back in 1988 very nice kit to build. I still have it might get you some pics

The Ertl truck kits are a very good one to start out as a beginner. I collected several over the years. Built this in 1987 still have it on the shelf it's a 4200 International kinda rare these days if you can find one
