Found in the stash in a poly bag. 1/87 ROCO modern US 5 tonner & trailer. Looks all there. Is this OK for GB?

AMT has been through a lot of owners - since 2012 the tooling & brand has been owned by Round2 - who have released new models, as well as re-popping some classics https://www.round2corp.com/brand/amtlogo/

Round2

I’m so glad they own it instead of Racing Champions and Ertl. The soft junk gray plastic they used was a nightmare to work with box art was just as bad.

Finally decided due to a superb delivery service from John - here's my entry; I'll post up sprue shots this evening! L1500 truck with choice of six colour schemes!

Reference my last here are the sprue shots - lots of fine detail including crates and furniture items (!). Seriously hoping I will finish this build on time - should do as the garden makeover is 99% complete! Comprehensive decal sheet but, surprisingly, no instrument decals!

You should post these in you thread, not in the chat section. Nicetruck though.

Whoops, sorry Ian!

I'll sneak in at the back with this if I may:

Only 4 windows, no tracks, and all the same colour - what's not to like!

Just wondering if it's OK to change my mind and build something else? Looking again at the tank transporter kit I think it will be a bit dull with just green/brown camo so I would like to build something with a bit of colour. If it's too late then I will just go with it.

Yes you can change no problem as I am thinking of changing my build until I can get the right paint
