The grill and hood for a '59 exist in 1/18 diecast offerings. I'm no 3d printer expert, but, how difficult can it be to reduce an actual already done 1/18 piece to 1/25? A big opportunity for 3d people, but, ASIK, they have been silent on this topic

I like it, very heavy duty, looks like an ex camper hauler with the mirrors. Nice wheel and tire choice, looks like 2 piece rims which were very popular in the era, the rings were always a silverish- gray color.

At the same time, maybe to a 1 1/2 ton- 3 ton front end conversion.

Another rig that came and went too fast, both in scale and 1:1. Every detail is spot on, very realistic looking, excellent wheel and tire choice for a no frills hauler.

The original AMT '60 version converted to a "Biltz Bugy", fire equipment added from the monogram 1/32 scale Mack pumper.

Not up to scratch building, you would think a 3d printer could convert this 1/64 to 1/25 fairly easily? https://www.ebay.com/itm/266702055910?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110013%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIMRXI%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20201210111452%26meid%3D286f2e009cf74675b226ef92ce4958cd%26pid%3D101196%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D8%26sd%3D225991652314%26itm%3D266702055910%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D4429486%26algv%3DPromotedRVIPbooster%26brand%3DGreenlight&_trksid=p4429486.c101196.m2219&itmprp=cksum%3A266702055910286f2e009cf74675b226ef92ce4958cd|enc%3AAQAJAAABECwDxH%2FaslyJlxG5OwCzDVsvFPdCc7oPNES2pO%2FdXErh3FWD0RY5Z4as3zE1mat3WT6Ucv9T827oSX6ueBxJTFw2r9p2wb0deZUMMzPdc3WQ3XwhMEF9hcgM3SytbId%2FKeAwSu%2Fbt4zAQVlC5sBI42M%2BXde2gW0onrjpsko07Y7Bvd1rfYTTkMam4g4ddm7MLfMk5jjLmdDhSMavlGx8dn372r3WVDR5pnNNuF8WrMHgGO6GHUVdSrSrGx4oTSNyHJVdOMe%2FtKNCjwUoVmq26XvX1vzPx1y5cmXVWmKUaz2P500%2Bh7Tk%2FFDwscfqeyDRAQ6GTrS4xtcGI88ALdzTP0%2FwOutjq0KTMnXH7Ha9ekwC|ampid%3APL_CLK|clp%3A4429486&epid=8066029999&itmmeta=01HSP08BTDT89CZJE60Z242GYC

Thanks for all the positive comments. Any resin 1/25 scale slide in campers such as this old Lindberg HO? Only larger camper I believe is the Model King Open Road chassis type.

Project looks well on its way to be a sharp combo! Assuming the KW has a regular back window?

NIce job on these! Like the tutone job on the Styleside and the side spare on the Flareside. I agree, the separate cab and bed on the new issues will make conversions much easier.

Very clean looking build, the tire and wheel combo are perfect for a supercab

Great color combo, very nice detail work.

1970 F 250 Camper Special with "Custom" trim. Wheels, tires and hubcaps are from the '68 F 250 kit. Upgrades are 3 arm western mirrors and front bumper from the 70's issue AMT star truk kit with additional photo etch emblems. Painted Royal Maroon from Scalefinishes. Would be nice if there was a resin 10' camper available, the rear springs are ready for some weight.

Great job bringing the resin piece to life. LIke the body choice, under hood details, authentic mirrors and wheels, I can almost hear the 345 whining out sound, remember those engines made more noise than the exhaust!

Really like this one, IMO, very representative of period 3/4 tons that may have been used as a recreational vehicle for a decade or two, then used the following decades for light chores, used, by not abused look. The tu tone is a nice touch and goes well with the design.

A shortbed Custom Cab. I'm sure will see some high quality shortbed conversion offerings soon!

Got to love the Flareside. This one has to be one of the nicest out there, looks factory fresh.

NIce project, forgot about those mini kits. Like the box art on the original issue 359, appears to have the same paint scheme of the 1/25 newer cab 359.

Very close to these kits hitting the shelves now! I'm excited about the '60 kit in particular because of the possibilities of completely different build opportunities. I confident the aftermarket will kick with the '57-59 variations when they see these kits fly off the shelves. F500-F 600 variations require front fender to be enlarged. Hopefull Dan-Cip models of Romania will do extra heavy "Super Duty" version ( auto haulaway photo), in the same high quality of their '60's heavy F and N series offerings.

White Freightliner with a few modifications. Simpler foot stirrups replace the kits huge side steps and a SD frame was grafted to the front of the DD to get the longer wheelbase western states look. Duplicolor Bahama Blue was used with Model Trucking decals to get the 70's look.

Not easy. How about shrinking down a real seat cover to 1/25 scale. 😁 1963 Ford F-Series Pickup Custom Cab Seat Covers – SMS Auto Fabrics . On a side note, early production '63's came with white steering wheels and black columns, the practice used on '59-'62 Custom Cabs.

A dual drive C series with dumpster box in the works. Dumpster from BCS trading, frame is an IH Paystar and wheels are old resin AITM.

The '63 Custom Cab may be a little confusing, but here is my input from 4 decades of studying these vehicles. '63's had gray steering column with black steering wheel. All Custom cabs came with gray vinyl upholstery and candy stripe cloth inserts. Most '61-'66 Custom Cabs dash's were tu toned in white, however '63 was unique, the dash was tu toned in gray. Door panels were also gray. If truck was white, than dash and door panels were tu toned in red ( bottom black-white photo taken when brand new in '63). One more tid bit, a black padded dash was available if the safety package option was ordered, black padded dash became standard starting in '66.

Tanker and trailer to any existing 3 axle kit.

Corrected AMT Peterbilt front fenders that roll down to the bumper.
