DIECAST: Build Your Own 1:24 Maisto 2013 Dodge Viper GTS

Over the weekend, my daughter embarked on an exciting project: assembling a 1:24 scale 2013 Dodge Viper GTS model car from Maisto’s Assembly Line series. Designed for enthusiasts who may lack the time, patience, or expertise to tackle a complex model kit, this diecast replica offers a delightful combination of convenience and detail. 

Unlike traditional model kits that predominantly feature plastic parts, the Maisto Assembly Line series offers a refreshing twist by incorporating diecast components. The 2013 Dodge Viper GTS model comes pre-painted, eliminating the need for additional painting steps. With 33 parts in total, assembling this kit is a breeze, and the components easily fit together by hand.

One of the standout features of the 2013 Dodge Viper GTS model is its remarkable attention to detail. Maisto has gone to great lengths to faithfully recreate the car’s chassis, interior, and engine. The opening doors grant a peek inside the meticulously reproduced interior, while the front clamshell hood can be lifted to showcase the engine in all its glory. The level of precision and accuracy is truly astounding for a model of this scale.

With a skill level rating of 2, the Assembly Line series is designed to be accessible to both beginners and seasoned model builders. The straightforward assembly process allows for a gratifying experience without the need for advanced modeling techniques. This kit provides an excellent opportunity for young enthusiasts, as the age recommendation starts at 8 years and up.

The 2013 Dodge Viper GTS model kit from Maisto’s Assembly Line series can be found in numerous hobby shops across the country. We were delighted to find ours at our local Hobby Lobby for just $12.99 USD, making it an affordable option for hobbyists of all ages.
