1959scudetto Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Here is one of my rare pickup models - Monogram's 1940 Ford - I always liked the look of the car, but not the features of the kit: built in 1986 from the 1985 Street rod reissue, I wanted to give it a mid-60's look: I replaced the wheels with mags from amt and JoHan WW tires, added a side-mounted spare wheel and cut a simple plastic bag for a bed cover. Sprayed with dark green from the can, interior is left unpainted (kit was molded in red). Today I took it out of its box and took a few pictures: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Great looking build and you even got the doors to look correct. I like the side window halfway down. The stance and wheels look good together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy grumpy Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Sweet little truck Helmut. I like the contrast between the interior and the body. Great job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spex84 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I love this truck! Great color combo, the stance and wheel/tire package nails the late 60s look. The orange-ness of the interior (as opposed to just red) is what really makes it, for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Nice clean look and those wheels & tires are perfect ! Very well done ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheyenne93 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Well done! I've got one of these in the stash. Painted it, then lost interest. Maybe dig it out and give it another go. Thanks for the inspiration.👍🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1959scudetto Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 Many thanks for all the nice comments, guys - maybe I should have chosen a dark metallic color and paint the interior, but I will leave it now as it is - I like these wheels much more than the kit-supplied ones.

Gramps46 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) I missed this one earlier and am really glad to see it now. You did a great build with the combination of colors and wheels. I am not familiar with the kit. Were the louvers a feature of the kit? OK I looked it up and they are there. Nice touch.

bisc63 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Thanks for bringing this one back; I missed it before, also! Period perfect, the only thing missing is a "Keep on Truckin'" decal on the spare tire cover! Nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
