Mercuryman54 Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Fantastic!!! I like it!!! I bought a 1:1 1977 F-250 highboy new. I've always loved this body style.
Renegade Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Nice build. Is it based on the Firestone kit? Also what color did you use? It looks great on that truck.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Excellent work!! One of the best builds of this kit that I've seen!
espo Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 This has the perfect OEM look even with the big wheels and tires. What impresses me the most is the engine wiring. Even the correct brake lines off of the master cylinder. The wiring along the firewall really adds to the look.
donb Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Everything about the this build looks "right". A fine looking vehicle.
zaina Posted September 21, 2017 Author Posted September 21, 2017 Nice build. Is it based on the Firestone kit? Also what color did you use? It looks great on that truck.thanks. Paint is light gun metal by tamiya. And this is the firestones kit
zaina Posted September 21, 2017 Author Posted September 21, 2017 Thanks everyone. I really appreciate your comments.
kelson Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 Awesome build!,i like the attention to detail in the engine bay.
Perspect Scale Modelworks Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 That's a nice looking truck!
1972coronet Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 FANTASTIC work , Andy ! WOW !! I agree with the sentiment of the others ; this is the finest example of this truck I've seen ! Tamiya's Light Gun Metal works so well , even as an amphiviate for OEM colours ( think : MPC's 1975 Dart Sport ... which is the colour I painted mine ! ).That engine is splendid ! Is that kit's engine supposed to represent an FE ( 360 / 390 ) or the 385-Series ( 429 / 460 ) ?
carrucha Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Cool build. Well built and detailed. The body color works well on this truck.
mikemodeler Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 Great job! Like the others said, the paint is perfect. Love the details and those wheels give it a much more off road look.
Funkychiken Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 Fantastic truck! I love how the paint looks to scale & the details are near perfect!
DumpyDan Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Well done, looks really good turned out fantastic.
Againmikewins Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 I wish my 1:1 was as clean as your replica is under the hood! Dentside's are my favorite Ford trucks and you did a phenomenal job!

rkeel Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 AMT called it a 460, which like a 429 is a 385 series. It's closer to an FE, 360 or 390, other FEs weren't available in trucks. Nice looking truck by the way, love the color!!
