High octane Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 That is a real nice combo and it's too bad that the boat and trailer scale out to about 1/20th scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartster Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I LOVE this. I would consider putting smaller tires on the trailer, though. You could fool a lot of marine challenged people like myself that way! Nice combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjordan2 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 That is a real nice combo and it's too bad that the boat and trailer scale out to about 1/20th scale. How are the boat and trailer out of scale? In the 1:1 world, both come in a wide range of sizes (though the trailer tires do look too large).

krazyglu Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I love the looks of the model kit, you did a great job. I hope to get my hands on one of these kits someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eshaver Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 This looks to be a combination of two old A M T kits , the Chevrolet Apachie and the Rayson Craft boat . Very nice either way ........ Ed Shaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paverblack Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 The original kit had a stepside bed and I swapped a friend for a fleetside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyglu Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Ah very good observation Ed. The one I saw in my friends stash was a '65 step side and hemi hydro boat combo. All are very cool though and I like the aqua/white color combo. edit: haha thats funny, thanks for sharing this one Kenneth and I like the bed swap...very clever Edited February 3, 2012 by krazyglu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eshaver Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Steve , you still had to have found a Vintage bed as the annuals had the L W B bed . The Revell kits that followed , ( Fleetside 54 and Stepside 65) were both SWB kits ............. Ed Shaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominik Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 How are the boat and trailer out of scale? In the 1:1 world, both come in a wide range of sizes (though the trailer tires do look too large). Correct. The boat is the same scale like the Chevy. Only the wheels from the trailer are locking tooo large in the diameter, but i also took the wheels of the kit when i built mine. I like this Combo! The colors are beautiful.

crazyjim Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Very cool. I have that Chevy & hemi hydro kit but am waiting until I can figure out how to real wood on the boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Sumner Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Jim..if you decide to use real wood for the boat, use basswood. The grain is very tight and more to scale than any other wood.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promo55 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 This is a great build! I do not think the boat is out of scale, and if it is, so what. It looks good, and that's an attractive color combination. Very well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
