Scalper Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) Finished this one up last week. Body was already painted and chassis partially assembled. Kit was missing some parts. But still enough to have a half decent looking model. Painted the hood flat black did not know what colour was used got the body. Painted all the body trim tail light grill and BMF on windows. Photobucket is messed up getting worse by the minute. Will try to get all the pictures posted. Edited December 2, 2016 by Scalper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemodeler Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Saw one on the road in Charlotte yesterday and was surprised to see it wasn't all rusted out! Nice save, looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Was that Scout built from an original ERTL kit, or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalper Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 Thanks guys. I got the kit for 10 bucks the way it is. Don't know much about the kit but was told it's rare. Sounded like a good deal. Here's the box art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rider Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Always liked those trucks. The kits are a bit of a dog, looks like you managed to do it up quit well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalper Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 Thank you Rider. Good thing too that the builder that started this kit was a pretty clean glueing parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Are you saying that there is a difference between the AMT/ERTL kit and the ERTL Kit? Just asking as I do not know. No that's the same kit. A bit simple, from the era of before Ertl owned AMT and did a few kits on their own. There are a few other versions including one with door openings. I have one 3/4 done. I added a bench seat to mine, using photos of a 1:1. I also felt compelled to add some detail items under the hood since it's pretty empty in there.

As nice as the Tractors and Semi's that ERTL put out I was thinking this somewhat simple kit was AMT's work from the 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1930fordpickup Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I have to say I am sorry for not complimenting Andre on his nice Scout before I was rambling on with questions. This came out very nice Andre. I like the color choice you made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
