bluemoose Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Here's the Revell pickup with newly tooled custom '38 front end, along with some new speed parts and new lowered suspension parts. Also some new decals for the Ford script on the hood side panels and tail gate. I built it simple straight from the box, except I used some 600x16 Firestones from Modelhaus. The kit decals for the white walls aren't wide enough to meet the rims. I painted it with tamiya coral blue, followed by sanding with some worn out 2000 paper and tamiya polish. Some comparison shopping: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eshaver Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Well you have shown me the reason i need to get annother 37 Ford truck . I built mine as a "Factory Stake bed" several years ago back when it came out in the 90's . The barrel nose from the 38 shoullda been included back then . I remember when Bob drake first came out with the reproduction grilles for the 1-1 trucks in 1983. I was impressed by the grille and now with you're truck , hummmmm ya got me ta thinkin now !

whale392 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I must admit to getting this kit for the surfboards for my '30 Woodie build, but after seeing it built up as you have done, I believe I am doing this kit a great injustice by letting it sit unbuilt in its' box. Beautiful trucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard Kron Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Impeccable builds as always, with a real eye to color and detail. The blue '38 with the Modelhaus wide whites is especially striking. Bravo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
