Sweet!

Nice! Here they are called King Cab! A super popular truck back in the day! Never seen a dually though!

Nice! Need to get one!

Sweet build there! Looks super

Thank you sir! Thank you Steve! Thanks for stopping by and dropping a comment:) Thanks! Glad you like it! And thanks for the compliment! thanks Zippi, I like it in the pics better than irl because it looks darker Irl.

Great progress! Looking realy good!

Have added some paint on the middle parts of the exhaust and fixated it to the downpipes and joined them with CA and filled and then repainted the joints I am so glad that Vallejo paints leave no brush strokes. Al joints at the engine side exhaust also got filled and same treatment. I also added the battery shut off handle on the switch, here it can also be seen how the fire tank looks now. I did also print some articles on the Blackout Impala, the inspiration for the build, and bent them to resemble a magazine. Google docs is good for shrinking those pictures.

I found this on a Swedish second hand website, a bit pricey for me right now but I think it’s a interesting kit! does any one have more Infineon this kit and what do you think, is it a decent price for one? 1200kr is roughly 120USD.

Looking epic! Great work from start to finnish!

The exhaust is getting hangers. 3d printed and installed in what seems to be good spots I also made a new tailpipe, single ”3 thet goes to 2x3,5”. Gonna look good I believe. only had clear ressin to print with.

Sweet!

Looks good!

Looks good!

Sorry to hear about your loss, I hope all your memories with him warms your heart and keep him with you in the future.

Could not agree more! i showed your thread @Codi to my other half, and her reaction was just that, how can he make it look so clean and real on such a small part! Great work as always.

Thanks David, appriciate that you take your time to comment, means allot! Thank you sir! Thanks Steve! For sure it would! Would mean to scrach one I guess. Hehe for sure would rise a question or two, but perfect for Dragweek!

Looking great! Love your tennis balls! Super cool detail!

Looks great! Nice cad work and finishing of the parts with painting and all! Will be following!have my own 1/16 builds.

Nice build!

Nice build! Wheels looks beautiful!

Nice! have anyone tried this on resin from their own printer or parts from some of the other vendors? The typical gray resin used i mean.

Sweet build! Looking great so far. Interior looks sharp and just as I remember those red interiors These kits seem to have nice detail. Now I need to get hold of a 6.2l diesel engine and then I can make a replica of my dads old K5.

Looking good there! And you do have a couple of cool builds in the making! I hope the new meds work for you!

I decided to af some nuts and bolts to the chassis In visible spots. I made these and printed them in various sizes. i did also make a new cross bar for the swaybar, the arms connecting to the a arms are stock, when the bar was there I used insulation from a cable to make a rubber busshing and a strip of metal as brackets and finished it of with studs and nuts. I did also make some work with the exhaust. Swedish law dictates that the exhaust are not allowed to exit underneath a space where you have occupants. Which leaves me with side exits on the exhaust, but that’s not really legal either. So I routed it all the way back. And due to clearance issues I ran 3mm pipes which led me to put electric cutouts to let all the exhaust pressure out on full boost. Actually read about a similar 1:1 build that did just that. I put magnets under the mufflers to secure it wile fabricating, but will do some visual hangers as well. I will tuck the exhaust so it won’t be to visible behind the bumper to retain that discrete look.

Looking epic! Seats are a nice model in it self!
