Nice build, good looking truck, but it's not accurate for a factory stock build. Ford did not sell pickups with bare wood beds and chrome rub strips. Their bed wood was painted black and the bed rub strips were black.
It is a very common modeling error and often occurs on 1:1 amateur restorations. Otherwise, very nice looking model!
AMEN!
And regardless of the rantings of self-appointed gods, I'm very much looking forward to getting my hands on all of the Hornet kits I already have on order.
As an aside, I'm more than curious to see the absolutely perfect and flawless-while-remaining-unimpeachably-scale-accurate model kit Dave Z could bring to the market for less than $30. Where is it?????
Just sayin' . . .
THANK YOU!! I agree completely!!
And, on the other hand, perhaps you now know how it feels to make any kind of observation or comment (other than purely mindless chihuahua-praise) on a most-perfect-ever-General-Lee-build-adnaseum thread, only to suffer the wrath and castigation of illiterate posters and their barbie-cheerleaders who finally run to management for protection from the evil 'nay-sayers' who don't bow to their self-ordained wonderfulness. Ultimately, apparently, what they feel they need is absolution for their continued worship of mediocrity and lowest common denominator effort ~~~ and new rules against stating the honest. After all, there's no place for critiques or criticism, constructive or otherwise.
Props for the rods. Works for me; I can live with 'em.
BTW, I've got sandpaper ... same stuff I use to thin the belts on 100% of the AMT, MPC, Monogram, Revell, Revellogram, Tamiya, Fujimi, Heller, Trumpeter, and other kits I build.
Steve,
True. ModelKing is doing a very limited production run of the NASCAR Hudson in Tim Flock livery. Three thousand units, one time only. I already have mine on order.
Hot diggity dawg! Let's go racin', boys!
Sweet! My all-time favorite automobile.
Ambitious project; building one example of each model. Great idea!!! And, you're doing a great job of it so far!!!
