mangodart Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Hi guys, here I am with a new built : a 77 Dodge pick up, from MPC, an original kit which was buy painted and partially built. Originaly conceived to be a 4 Wheels drive, I modify the chassis to have a more common 4x2, using the front suspension of a "Little Red Truck", and also the fuel tank. I have to lowered also the rear suspension and decide to go with the Spyder MAg wheels, rarely seen on built model. The two tone paint was hard to realise, but I think I got it right.

Rob Hall Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Sharp build...I love those '70s MPC Dodge truck kits. The 1:1 '79 Power Wagon 4x4 I learned to drive in was that silver green like in your two-tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
