Found this at a flea market hidden behind a bunch of corvette kits. Contents are still sealed, but it is missing the tires. Been wanting one for awhile.

I'll play ball. This is my ongoing project for the last 2 years-ish. It's going to be a replica of a truck I used to ride along in with my Dad. This was when I wasn't old enough to go to school yet so he was delegated(Mom was working also) to taking me along with him and is the reason I like trucks. It had a Detroit in it. The hood is one I got off of Epay a long time ago. The real truck was maroon/burgundy and white. I included a picture of the real McCoy, but it's a picture of a picture, so I apologize, it's (along with my 45 yr old memory) all I have to go off of. Thanks.

Nice ?! What's the body color?

Can't go wrong with this kit, it's a nice one. Love the color?

This is nicely done ?. What paint did you use in the body? Is the interior a dark blue? I wouldn't think that a blue interior and orange exterior would work, but you have convinced me otherwise!! Great job!!

I'm not sure of the transmission that is offered in the Tamiya. It's not my model, got the pics off of a Google search. I think the real transmission might be a 46re. That's what my 96 Ram had. I don't think the Tamiya kits can be had too cheaply, either.

Like I said, there is a Magnum offered by Tamiya, but, it's not very good. The valve covers are about the only thing resembling a Magnum, maybe the airhat, maybe if you squint hard enough.......

Nobody offers a Magnum 318/360 in kit form except Tamiya. Go figure. I think in this kit. And even at that, it's kinda goofy looking.

This is too cool!! That's an awesome pair you got there. Very creative!!!?

Looks good, really good. The paint colors on the body are what really pulls this model together, I love it!

Good job, nice example of a seldomly seen kit. Again, nice choices for a period correct paint/color combo.

Job well done, very nice. The silver and blue color combination works out well. The engine bay is weathered very well and thought-out. Top notch!

Coming together nicely. The colors you chose work very well. I never have heard of mirror mounted wipers! Learned something new today.

Good call on the colors, I like the 2 tone you used. Can't wait to see it with the clear.

Awesome ?. I'll be watching. Have a soft spot for these older Tamiya kits.
