spencer1984 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 This is AMT's D50 with a 3D printed grille I drew up, parts box headlights with scratch built buckets, Fujimi wheels, a parts box manual transmission, custom bug shield, scratch built running boards, and scratch built fast food tchotchkes. Any comments/criticisms are welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youpey Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 This looks terrific. I just bought this kit but haven't started it yet. this really makes me want to start it right away Great work. I love the antenna topper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoopdog Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Very, very nice and realistic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapSat 6 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 GREAT WORK! That grille looks perfect, and you have captured the driver vibe very well. One of the new car dealers near where I grew up in Philly had an Arrow Pickup as a parts runner for many years. I might have to try to build that one, looking like it did towards the end of it's service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Beautiful rendition. My 50 is in final assembly with a 440 ci engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish_65 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Very cool Bill ! Perfect rendition of the 1:1. I really like seeing rarely built kits and models of vehicles you would see in the real world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeakDoc Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Great build. I really dig the everyday-driver vibe. Been wanting one of those D-50 kits for a while. I owned 2 of the 1:1s over the years; an ‘84 Sport and an ‘85. Both 5 speed 4x4s and both suffered from the same afflictions. Gas tanks that rusted through at the seam and carbs built with super-cheap materials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty92 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 This is great! I have one as well, and I really want to build it soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I did mine for the 24 Hour Build. I started with a kit a buddy was selling at our club meeting for $5. Pretty much just built it, but added 6 lug wheels. I have a few more of this kit, would like to do the Mitsubishi version too. PLUS, this chassis is nicely detailed and would make a very cool street rod chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
