Kits are missing the upper intake and valve covers.
Out on the open road, El Jefe is ready to take charge. From deep in Revell’s kit archive, El Jefe returns to hobby shelves with its one-of-a-kind custom big-rig styling adapted to a classic 1:25-scale “squarebody” 1979 GMC C-35 Dooley pickup. Custom features include a restyled front end inspired by GMC’s General tractor, a bed-mounted sleeper compartment, and side-saddle diesel tanks. Boss, Revell invites you to add this fun-to-build dream machine to your collection today!
As noted, this kit is missing the one-piece upper intake and valve covers. Revell has no plan to provide this part. "It is what it is." Most modelers can easily find suitable workarounds in the parts box. Check out the video below to see HPI build and display this beautiful truck. Don't miss out on this iconic pickup, which will soon be in short supply.
