Wonderful. All that extra work put into it was worth it, for sure. You don’t see a whole lot of these 379 conversions done because of the the added effort required, but they sure stand out.

Nice. Would have been great if they had made the ramcharger in that generation, but I suppose 2-door full size SUVs were on the way out by the mid-nineties.

Excellent build. Beautiful paint scheme.

Good info, thanks. As you said, they weren’t made to be precision scale models, and it’s obvious that some proportions are off, but that’s understandable.

I’ve looked at this series of ertl trucks on eBay. They say 1/25 scale on the listings. How close do you think they are?

Great idea for a group build. This will be a nice tribute.

Wow, incredible accuracy in reproducing it in scale model form. I’ve always had such an appreciation for your skill and dedication in creating scale models of vehicles from television and film.

Such a nice build. Excellent paint scheme. I like the bug deflector, too.

Nice work, especially with the demands of a 3d printed cab such as this - particularly with the challenge of the grille. You’ve done a fine job creating a rare model. Having an open grille as a separate part would be a huge improvement Global Scale should consider. Nice tip on improving the cab glass, btw. Like others have said, the only thing that has kept me away from 3d prints like this, is a concern for the lack of detail and the designer’s inexplicable need to print all aspects of the cab, like clearance lights and horns, as one piece. Have they ever heard of applying separate parts, like…assembling a kit? I would have cut those details off, too. I understand having separate parts would complicate/lengthen the print process a little and add to costs. But instead, just don’t include those gaudy parts like air horns and cab lights. The builder will usually have them available from the donor kit, anyway.

Nice use of aftermarket parts. That really takes it to a whole new level.

Excellent. You captured it well. I love the paint scheme, looks great with the proper IH red on the Cummins. The 1/24 Italeri tires with the 3d printed rims give a nice impression of the tall 24.5” rubber in 1/25.

Very cool, another unique addition to the roster. When will we see a “family portrait” of the whole fleet?

Glad you found it. I was racking my brain, knowing I’ve seen them before, but was coming up short. I did remember that Moluminum makes them in resin, if you wanted to go that route. You customize the bend by using hot water.

Nice work. I don’t think I’ve seen a driver’s side mirror like that before. Is that an old school CF thing?

That’s some Canadian spread you’ve got there, those tires will squeal around the turns, alright. Cool build. I haven’t seen a stripe pattern like that before, looks really nice.

As I said in the other forum, this is a great build. I enjoyed watching it come together.

The color fits the body style and era perfectly. What a dream boat.

Once you go Mr Hobby Mr. Surfacer Black, you’ll never go back.

Oooh love that red. What a beauty!

Another great build. I’ve always enjoyed the extra time and effort you put into your builds to make them unique and more accurate, like aftermarket parts, engine swaps, and extra details.

Another great one. Nice work.

You nailed it, for sure. Excellent replica build.

Really nice work in making a unique model.

I’ve certainly enjoyed watching this project come together. You did not disappoint in creating the excellent model I thought it was going to be. I really enjoy the finishes, your paintwork is really well done. That silver is so silky smooth. I love it.

Beautiful truck! What a build.
