Key Features
- Chrome Molded Grille — The centrepiece of this set is a fully formed chrome-coated grille that faithfully reproduces the 1969 Chevrolet K5 Blazer's distinctive front end styling. The glimmering chrome coating reflects light realistically, adding visual depth and authenticity to your model at ground level or on the display shelf.
- Door Handles Included — Precision-molded door handles finished in the same chrome coating complete the side profile detailing. These small but noticeable components make the difference between a basic model and a scale-accurate representation of the original vehicle.
- Side Mirrors — Chrome-finished side mirrors add another layer of authenticity to the body, ensuring every angle of your K5 Blazer reflects the attention to detail that defines quality RC builds.
- Easy Installation — Each component is designed for simple, tool-free or minimal-tool installation on compatible K5 Blazer bodies. No specialist knowledge or complex modifications are required, making this upgrade accessible to builders of all experience levels.
- Genuine Axial Molded Plastic Construction — All parts are manufactured using Axial's proven plastic moulding techniques, ensuring perfect fitment with original bodies and consistent quality across the entire set. This is not a third-party aftermarket alternative, but genuine OEM specification parts.
- Durable Chrome Coating — The chrome finish is applied to withstand the rigours of outdoor use and display, maintaining its lustrous appearance through repeated runs and seasonal weather variations common in the UK RC hobby scene.
