Chuck Most Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) This is my third Moebius '71. I decided to do something a bit different with it this time. I nabbed the plow setup from a Revell GMC, made a dump bed and some mirror brackets, and used VCG Resins dually wheels, with Goodyears up front and Bridgestone Mud Duellers out back. I used the small headlights from a Revell '32 Ford Street Rod for the plow lights. The story behind the paint? When new, the truck was painted "county orange", but a subsequent owner painted it green. Let's just say Mr. Green didn't do the best job on prep, and the truck (with much help from Mother Nature) has spent the last couple of decades trying (and mostly succeeding) to revert to its original color. I still might add some wooden sides and a roll-up tarp to the dump bed, and add a few more wires and hoses underhood, but it'll look good enough up on the shelf as-is for the time being.

Kit Basher Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 That's awesome, Chuck! I have a 1:1 '89 F350 flatbed dumper with a plow, and I have been thinking about doing a model of it. You inspire me! (BTW, mine is painted white and is slowly reverting to its original green.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatorincebu Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Chuck, I like it a lot! Good job on the dump body. The paint job is spot on. And I think it would look good without the plow as well. Be Well Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
