Jim takes a quick look at what''s in the box of the new Meng Pickup w/ KPU-1 kit. This is a new type of video feature.

Thanks!

Gotta have a couple of these things..

This looks pretty nice. About on par with 1/32 snap models, but with a better detailed underside. I like it. Any idea who will be carrying them? I will need a couple.

Thanks Jim,nice start of a very intresting series of video review's.

Video reviews are a great idea, thanks a million

Kit is very nice indeed....it smells like a BRONCO model...

Thanks a million for the great review.

Definitely worth to get a couple of these for the ever growing stash!

Nice job Jim

I guess the decals could be used for the "TOYOTA" often seen written on the tailgate :



(to bypass licensing issues ? )

Reminds me of Toy Story pizza truck

I really like these video previews.. I could almost smell the plastic! Thanks a lot, Jim.

Maybe it's like Frenchy said.. they give the modeler the letters to make up the "word" instead of having a decal that says "TOYOTA" and then have to deal with licensing issues. Not a bad idea

Good review Jim. I like the format it's like opening the box myself

Not working with iPad

Time to be picky AMS person.. Will need after-market tyres as the ones on it are all wrong. Totally wrong shape with far too low a profile. These trucks have an off-road tyre with much higher profile.

Sorry...

I hate using cliches, but damn they come in handy sometimes. How about stepping outside the box and going with "DEER" or "GREAT WALL?"

Thanks Jim. I like that review format!

Would this mean there's one of these in the pipeline somewhere ? (far fetched theory I know )

Frenchy

Sometimes if you wish really hard.. the far-fetched becomes a reality

I myself will be wishing for a Toyota Land Cruiser... I don't think there has been a conflict in recent history where these vehicles weren't used. I think a Land Cruiser would be a perfect choice for one of their future projects.

Hisham

Talking about Chinese-built pick-up trucks like Deer or Great Wall, I think we could add the Grand Hiland Deluxe to the ever-growing wish list... :

Jim,
It is a great review...... I just noticed that Hobby Easy has these for $23.00 USD far better than the 39.00 I thought it would be... noe I just need the Trumpy rocket launcher to go with it.

Chris

where can i get one?

Right now, its available at Lucky Model and Hobby Easy for about $32 including shipping to the US. Ebay also has it for a little bit more. I am guessing all the other Asian suppliers have it as well. It will probabl be in US shops in a few weeks, but will most likely be quite a bit more expensive.

Love the video review.....keep it coming

Rounds Complete!!

Nice review.

It doesn't appear that this truck can be assembled with the doors open. That's really too bad.
