BIGTRUCK

Got the hood to fit back in by building up with plastic strips and sanding. I will need to cut a hole once the engine is in for the stacks to fit .Chassis painted and final stance achieved, back down ,front upwards. Body color still not settled.

This mock-up is a JimmyFlinstone resin body , the rest is a Frankenstein parts lot. Most of the chassis is from the MPC Flip Out Mustang with AMT AWB rear suspension, the front suspension and frame are AMT RatPacker and engine is 427 fuel injected from AMT Mustang GT funnycar. Tires / wheels are parts box. Drivers area is moved back away from normal dash location. Hood cut open and not sure if I will leave it off or modify and reuse,rear wheel wells opened up. Long way to go and more parts to locate..

Nicely done...I like the colors.

This ICM Ford is probably the best part fit and flash free kit I've done. No decals ,chrome or brass parts come in this kit, everything needed to be painted. This Ukraine kit is highly detailed, if I had to do this kit over I would have bought this issue with the two firemen, one being a driver. This is not my normal subject to build but once in awhile I wonder off my comfort path and in this case a stock light commercial build was kind of fun..I cut the hood open on the driver side to be propped up in the open position to view the nice flathead four . Some old timey gold decals would have looked nice in my opinion. The only thing I added was two decals on the rear gauges.

Its a very time consuming kit because of the amount of painting thats needs to be done and cure time before you can handle the pieces. Alot of this kit is the parts count involved just to build one item.The tires and wheels are just on for pictures, and again there are no chrome or brass parts, all paint.

This is the box Carl, not a real popular kit .

Still available.

This one is a very simple kit with only a handful of parts. Body, 8 tire halves, driver, 4 hubcaps, steering wheel , and a canopy. I cobbled up a flame for the jet engine..This kit was originally made to run on a guide string powered by Co2, none of those were in the reissue. Parts that I added : 1/25 scale driver and side deflectors , tire decals and rear wing top. Kit was issued in 1959 and said to be in 1/29th scale. This was a 1997 issue.

Gotcha

From 1972, started nicely. I did not itemize this kit but every part in the box is pictured.. Looking for showrod or drag or ? good builder or kit.

Sealed inside, getting rid of duplicate kits, I built one like this a few months ago. Looking for showrod or drag or ?

Trade off new sealed HotDogger kit for another Showrod or drag car or ? .I already built one like this and dont need to hold onto this one.

Very cool old drag one seater, love that inside tank..

Very cool, the camo markings look super.

I really enjoy seeing the unusual subject..looks great.
