Silent123 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Hi all! I would like to show you my latest build - Kit from Revell GMC Pickup with snow plow but built in civil version. Initial kit is pure on interior details and in engine bay. It required a lot of improvements and parts manufacturing from scratch. Some of the extеrior parts were machined from aluminum. Aftermarket was also used. For interior I machined door panels. Wooden finish decals were user from the equal Chevy 4x4 kit. Steering wheel whom Chevy SS kit but restyled to GMC shape. Pedals, gear selector are scratched. Chassis were detailed with wire, bolts and brake lines, steering gear also added. Engine detailed with scratched parts and aftermarket. Body painted in two colors an finished with 2k clear cote. Please have a look on a results and hope you enjoy it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repstock Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) In all seriousness, I'm curious as to whether that paint scheme was offered without the trim pieces. I suppose a person could paint their truck any way they wanted. A nice, neat job at any rate. Every 35 series truck I've seen is a dually.

I don't believe the short bed was an option on the 35 series (1 ton). Awesome work on that kit, you have detailed it beyond what most of us would do. It amazes me when an European builder takes a kit of a US vehicle and goes all out detailing it and making it look so realistic.

Steve H Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Mikhail, WOW is right. That is a stunning build. The paint and detail work is absolutely fantastic. Love the two tone paint, very well masked, and perfect colour choices. The interior and chassis are amazing. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent123 Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Thank you guys for comments. I am not very well versed in the modifications of this model, but I tried to make it as realistic as possible, based on photos from the Internet. Of course, there may be some inconsistencies in the finishing elements, but I think that the overall image turned out to be good and recognizable.

Plowboy Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Nice looking GMC! This kit isn't a very good one to begin with. But, you sure made the most of it! I really like the work you did on the door panels. Did you make those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catpack68 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Awesome work! You’ve definitely made that kit look good! Where did you get to Sierra Classic decals/emblems for the fenders and GMC tailgate decal/emblem from or did you make them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one tons were available as longbox or chassis cab only, regardless of cab configuration or number of rear wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatz4u Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 looks real, color is nice the real trucks in Michigan would be rusted up to the door handles...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
