Jared Roach Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Well with round 2 reissuing this kit I figured I could build one of many from my stash lol. I'm building this truck as a 97 with a updated steering wheel and Pewter/gold stripes I'm editing myself. The paint on this build is the actual paint from my 1:1 99 Sonoma, it was only available from 97-00 and isn't very common. My one complaint about round 2 reissuing this kit is the "95" kit has the wrong wheels, this is the original "94" issue and these wheels are the correct ones. Anyways here's my build: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt Tuttle Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Was this paint available on the full size trucks too? I recall seeing something similar on a Silverado or Cheyenne I think? Quite a nice looking brown anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have managed to get it wetsanded and buffed, the black trim painted and the decals installed(25 year old decals sucked to apply lol). I was going to edit these stripes and make them pewter/gold but from what I can find for reference pics the white is correct on this color for this year so I went with it. I still have a few areas of black to spray also. Now onto the interior and engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Great looking model. Color preferences very from one region to another, but I remember see several Sonoma and S-10's painted this color. Always thought it improved the appearance of either one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
