damodelguy az Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 46 merc pickup cab from star - r & r, and a 40 ford pickup rest. biggest thing with this resin is the grille is favoring the left and needs to be trimed back a little, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) Sorry, but that is darn ugly. Canadian variants tend to be cool in general IMO. But, the Mercury truck above? You did a nice job Glen, of building it. From that perspective it looks pretty good. It's just Fords styling department I question on this one.

mk11 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Considering the atrocious casting, it turned out fairly well. They're certainly more heavily ornamented than the same era Fords but don't look too bad in 1:1... I've got a frontier resin '46 here that's a little nicer casting. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelRick Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Definitely a good job on the build. I think what is throwing me off is the front appears to be sticking out too far beyond the fenders. Looking at the 1:1 picture it looks as if the bottom of the front pan is flush with the bottom of the fender, and the resin body looks to be sticking out a scale 3-4 inches.

damodelguy az Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 i think the ford of these years is tough to look at also with the jail break grille, but i like different. so i love em all. im not sure of the bottom of the pan, didnt notice, now i look it, may be optical. if the ends of all the chrome bars were separated better and silver back to the body, it may look closer. not sure ive gotten some frontier stuff, not bad, few pieces look a little more challenging. actually havent tackled one of theirs yet. wait i did 49 50 studebaker pickup, put 64 dodge chassie under it with the 426 engine, (all from maverick 64 kit) ill be putting this up later today thanx guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1930fordpickup Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Looks pretty good from that casting. Not the best looking Mercury Pickup design but you pulled it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
