From the AMT/Round 2 site: The Hulk is ready to leap over dirt hills and smash cars in this quality AMT monster truck SNAP kit!

  • Scale: 1/32

    • Full color '"Hulk'" decals

It's really big, it's really green, and it could only be part of Racing Dreams. The HULK meets the Chevy Monster Truck in a Snap-It kit version. Skill Level 1

The Kit

The kit is molded in two color, green and lavender. There are a total of 23 parts plus a sheet of stickers for the body. Not being a fan of this particular genre of modeling I handed the kit over to my 8 year-old son Ian to build.

Building Impressions

AMTAMTAMTAMTAMTAMT

Ian says "Most of the snapping together was challenging, I had trouble with the wheel centers because the wheels were so deep my fingers couldn't reach in. The frame was hard because you had to find the exact right way for it to go together. I had some trouble with the tires. My dad had to help put the wheels in them. The big stickers were easy but the small stickers were hard to find the exact spot for them. I'm very happy that the wheels move. Also it stands out because it's very bright and pops out from my other models. It was a fun model to build and very quick too.

Conclusion

So there you have it right from its target market. Ian really enjoyed the experience.

This kit is highly recommended!

My sincere thanks to Round2 Models for this review sample!
