That's a Round Tank, but it does have the proper Ford lettering.

Cool, Mikos! That's good to know. I have two of those AMT 70 1/2 kits in my stash with extra flat hoods. I'd not had a chance to try them on the MPC kit. Also, a good source for some Cross Laced Wire Wheels are the MPC '32 Ford kits. Out most recently as the Coke Themed, Sedan Delivery and a Roadster/Coupe kit.

I'm not sure either of the Flat Hoods you mention will be a drop fit. The Revell (ex-Monogram) is 1/24 scale, and the AMT '70 kit is an entirely different tool. It will probably fit with some sanding, but may have other issues.

Cool! Do you race it, or is it mostly a Display piece? Neat, either way!

What Carl Said! Just like Adam West.

Thank You, Al. I was not aware that kit had all the stock parts in it. That kit is still at Hooby Looby, and I can source the TS44 too. All I'll need are decals. And I can solve that issue, after the car is painted. Again, Many Thanks!

Great Work on a rare kit! You really did an excellent job on the finish. Good Show.

Is the TS 44 Is that TS44 a good match for the USAF Strata-Blue? I'm on the look out for that Mustang. Should have got one when Hooby Looby was clearing them out a few years back.

I'll bet it does. Then the Short Wheelbase Duallie makes sense.

Glad to have you here! I love Post Apocalypse vehicles! Hope to see some of builds in the Future.

Cool! Did you use the Revell Mustang kit?

Thanks, Stef! What an Awesome Build. I love it! Thanks for the extra photos. They just jump off the page.

It sits too high. Seriously, the wheels need to go up much higher in the wheel wells. Preferably, until they don't touch the ground......

I'm soery to hear that, Nathan. It does make following the Hobby harder. There are many Canadian members on this Board. I'd reach out to them and see what Mail Order Hobby Shops they recommend. I'd try to get all of your Paint and Glue in Canada, just because it keep you from having to deal with shipping HazMat items thru Customs. As for kits there are a a few well known On Line Hobby sites that ship to Canada. Good Luck. Alan

Yep. Cheap, Tooling is paid for, Not seen in 30+ years, and not a usual subject. I'll be getting one, and I'll bet you don't see them at Ollie's.

Love The Name. Looks like something I'd see a Famoso Dragway.

Just Completed a Trade with Matt T. It was great. Trade with him in Confidence. Alan Alexis

Great Looking Tow Truck! It looks genuine! Good Show.

Wow! What a Sharp Build, of a Truck I've never seen before. The Yellow is a good choice. It makes the truck stand out well. Good Show.

Looking Good! That Engine is a Lump, but not bad , considering....

Finding out that the County I live in, (Kern County, California) has an Unemployment Rate of 9.0%. Up from 8.2% in January. No Wonder it's so hard to get work. County Sponsored a "Job Fest" last Wednesday, they had over 2500 people show up. You could could smell the desperation from the job seekers. I keep looking, but so far no luck...... Anybody need a 'work-from-home' Truck Dispatcher?

HPI Guy has a build of it. Pretty Neat, other than needing new Resin Wheels and Tires. And it does need them, Badly. That said, the rest of the kit looks really decent for a kit tooled in the early 1980's. The new decal sheet is awesome, and if you intend to build any 1980's Ford Pickups, I'd order a replacement sheet from Revell just for the many sharp decals on it.

Great Idea, Les, but be sure to get one that has a Brass anvil not plastic. The last few Leather Punches I've seen are cheap copies, and have a plastic anvil. They won't work or cut well. (the anvil is the little Gold-Coloured button thing on the bottom of the pliers. That's where the cutter will hit)

I'd start with Fireball Models, Tim. https://www.fireballmodels.info/ He has some great MOPAR Wheels and Tires.

Looks like you wrestled it to a great completion, Karl. I like it. Good Show.
