Wrapped this build up on Sunday,good in some areas,but difficult in others,color is MCW Saddle Tan,keith Marks Decals and P/E that comes with the kit.I didn't bother with trying to use the P/E hinges that are included or the plastic hinges either. Despite doing lots and lots of sanding couldn't get the trunk to sit flush.

Turned out pretty nice! i enjoyed watching this come together.?

I know that best Model Car Parts on Ebay sells Canadian plates from the 50's to the late 70's,not sure they can be used on trucks,i used a set on a 63'Nova i'm building.

Hey everyone back with another update:,i decided to install the outer chrome trim and Bmf the body and do the window trim airbrushing Molotove chrome,then clearcoats.The kit includes some P/E so i detailed them and then glued them on and installed the glass. I painted the back panel Tamiya Bare metal silver and added more P/E to the hood and trunk. Lastly i added some Canadian plates from Best modelcarparts,hopefullly finish this build this weekend.?

Stopped at the hobbyshop to get some paint. Was surprised to see the Bronco on the shelf,but happy to get another Skyline.?

I picked a Johan funnycar body last summer to build a 71'Grande and i have the Gerry Chevalier resin body coupe to,maybe i'll have to wait for the 73 kit after all.

Looks fantastic in that color combo!!.

Great job combining parts from multilple kits!,looks outstanding!!

Very nicely built!.

Really looking forward to the 64'Chevelle the most!

Good looking build!, i painted the 63 'Nova i'm working on a similar color.

I'm working on the Trumpeter 63'nova and tried to strip the chrome as well and nothing worked! like Stitchdup said just sand it off.

This arrived friday,already have one and haven't seen another offered in years and the price was right.?

Thanks for the positive comments everyone!,okay another update,since seatbelts weren't offered by the factory,only dealer installed i decided to add some which really improved the appearance. Something that bothered me about the console it had no shift pattern,so in a moment of craziness i attempted to make it using a piece of wire taken from some spark plug wire.After lots of failed attempts i settled on one,i just covered it with a piece of Matte Aluminum foil and burnished it down on the console.Interior complete and installedAfter installing the steering wheel and taking this picture,i was shocked at how oversized the steering wheel was,so i looked at the instructions and realized the large outer ring is there to prevent the steering wheel from warpage and needs to be cut off!,luckily i didn't glue it on it just slides on.Hopeful to wrap up this build by the end of the month.

Nice color and it's frustrating when parts don't want to fit!.

It's looking good!!

Excellent looking truck!!

I agree,i bought the coupe and convertible version when they came out around 2004-2005,they seem to be heading price wise into the Meng ford f350 range.

I think it around 10-15 cars if i remember correctly,for some reason this kit and the convertible version are really pricey.?‍♂️

Love all the added extra detail! the dimmer switch is something i would have never even thought about or the seatbelt retractors.?

Work is pretty much complete on the interior,no ignition switch on the dashboard so i added one and P/E keys to and Keith Marks decals,i airbrushed a mixture of light tan and gloss brown for the interior colors Lastlyi saw a few pictures online where the trunk had a printed pattern so i added the detail using some old scale motorsport decals.

Been awhile since i posted any updates: kit has no decals so i ordered a couple sets from Keith Marks couple weeks ago.I decided i would go with a car driven spring to fall so i did some weathering on the engine and chassis. Engine installed with decals added, i drilled out the snorkel on the air cleaner

Looks very sharp with the wheel swap.

Coming along nicely?

Very nice build.
