Terry Jessee Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Meng released their F-350 King Ranch pickup in both 1/24 and 1/35 scale. This is the 1/35 version. I found photos online of some of the trucks that were used by Iraqi insurgents, and the F-350 figures prominently. One in particular looked pretty interesting as a model project and most of the parts were available in that scale. The gun in the back is also from Meng. It's a Russian ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft gun. I liked the color scheme and had fun with that. Because the windows are small, the interior is hard to see, so I included a shot of that before I finished assembling the truck. That Chinese assault rifle is really tiny in 1/35 scale. There's a shot of that before I painted it. I've also included a couple of photos with other vehicles to give an idea of relative size. Hard to believe that an F-350 is as big as a WWII GMC 6X6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattilacken Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Such a nice cool build! Remember seeing this one, have you had a WIP on it? 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Matches the photograph perfectly. This sort of detailing on the interior would be difficult in 1/25 let alone 1/35 scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
