I had one from years ago that was missing some parts after a few moves so I ended-up buying another one on eBay for like $15.00 a few months ago.

And some work on the body also...hood and bedside have been sanded and polished. Seats are painted and used a Testors wash to simulate the patterned inserts in the standard F-150 seats.

Here's a Lindberg F-150 Flareside that I am working on...haven't touched a model in 25 years. Used to build in college and hung it up while life went on and decided to take it up again as I've got plenty of spare time while I dial-in to conference calls. Decided to work on this as a break from staring at the 1/35th armor I thought I'd start and all of the stupid small photo-etched details that I feel compelled to add since none of those cool details were available to me during my previous modeling stint. Haven't sprung for an airbrush yet so this is all 'rattle can' work and some finer detail painting by brush. Decided to strip the chrome from the front and rear bumpers to paint it body color and also opened up the air intake hole in the lower bumper to make it look more accurate. And here we go...
