FordRodnKustom Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Finished up this morning, the latest in my vintage box art build series. After the 40 Ford Trophy kits this one is by far my next favorite of the old AMT kits. My idea was to build the red box art custom. I've been wanting to do this one for some time. I built one when I was kid when the kit first came out.... this one looks a little better. I know these type of builds are not everyone's "cup of tea" and come across as simplistic to others and I get that. For those that like this sort of thing hope you enjoy viewing it as much as I did building it! Thanks for looking. As always comments, questions and discussion welcome.
mike 51 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 looks great...fun to see one built to current "standards".

Snake45 Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 I'm not always a fan of the particular subject matter, but I DO enjoy seeing these vintage, old-school "box art builds." Well done and model on!

1930fordpickup Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 Many people have paid for kits because of the box art and you did a fantastic job of creating it.
FordRodnKustom Posted March 5, 2017 Author Posted March 5, 2017 Many thanks all for your good words on this build. Greatly appreciated! I'm glad if I provided some inspiration. These type of builds are fun and rewarding.
Misha Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Very sweet ride Ron! Always like the Shoebox clean look, an old kit that still measures up, glad its been re-released.Your build looks great, congrats!Cheers Misha
