Kevin44 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Hello, new guy here. I got back into modeling for the first time since I was a kid this year. It was far too brutal of a winter to do anything to my real truck, haha. My wife bought me this kit as a Hanukkah gift and I've had a great time building it.

Old Buckaroo Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Your winter confinement was spent well. This looks really well built, great attention to in-cab detail. I am also a fan of the paint scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin44 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Thanks guys, the paint job is far from show quality, but for a first attempt I'm happy with it. I learned some things to improve the next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Buckaroo Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Alright I am curious - What color of green did you use on the cab and what is your real truck ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin44 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 It's rust oleum "gloss fern" green. It was the most '70's shade that I could find at Lowes, lol. My original plan was to just paint it solid dark blue, but I found a few pics of trucks with this stripe, so I decided to go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
