Beautiful. My dad had one of these that same color way back when. I had a 74 F100 years ago. If it had been 4WD It would still be here. But I do still regret selling it.

Can't forget the Vandal. This is my rendition of it. It assembles well but it needs a good bit of bodywork.

Looks like a good start. This is not a bad kit except for the heavy flash on every part. It will look better being a tandem axle.

Beautiful work there.

Too cool. One of the best TV shows.

Very nice. You'll be pit stop quick at foiling after that. My foil skills got much better after building a 59 Ford Skyliner.

Points. How can you forget that? I would have to think about if I ever had to change them. And the screw starter to make it a bit easier to install them. The good ol daze.

Cool stories here. I cannot remember the first model car kit I butchered. About 10 years ago I did find the first model I butchered. I keep it hanging from a shelf in my hobby room as a reminder of how far I have come with this hobby. That was so long ago.

Thanks, good to know. I always avoided this kit for that reason. That and the price. I'll have to go shopping next time I have a Franklin burnin' a hole in my pocket. They look good pulling an end dump.

Well done. These Fords of that era were some of the best looking trucks ever built. I was wondering if this kit can be built as a day cab.

That's something you don't see every day. Pretty cool. I like that chainsaw thing under the door. Would give a carjacker a rude awakening?

Way cool. The original timber sled.

Cool little tire fryer there.

This is a good kit. It does go together well. The worst part is getting the doors to fit, they gave it a bit of extra material on them. You just gotta take your time and test fit everything several times. I would recommend this kit.

The latest from my bench. Bought this kit 10 or so years ago and finally got around to it. Nice kit overall, but operating doors are kinda tedious. Unfortunately I broke the hinge on the driver side door so closed it with a drop of clear enamel. It went together well for a multi piece body. Built box stock except for radio antenna. Colors are Testors light yellow enamel and Model Master classic white sprayed with my trusty Paasche VL. I am happy with how it came out overall. As always, comments/critiques welcome.

Superb job there. They are both beautiful, that black car looks sinister. No way could I build them in 2 weeks.

I built this Scout with Revell paint. I thinned it with enamel reducer an added a couple drops of hardener. It laid down nice and polishes up nice. I wouldn't say its any better than Testors, but so far this is the only body I have done. I believe their spray cans are acrylic, I have only tried the steel and aluminum in the sprays. They work well, fast dry and seems to be a durable finish. Enamels in tinlets brush well if thinned a bit.

Well done

Beautiful hippie bus.

This is mine. Built out of box except for headlight buckets and decal sheet from Model truckin.

A good year there. Very nice.

Beautiful work. That Cobra really catches my eye.

A really good year there.

Looks great. I too like the round headlights better. Square headlights on a round vehicle never looked right to me.

Way cool. A guy down the street from my mom has one of these that he bought shiny new in late 70s and is still his daily driver. Looks to still be in great shape.
