  1. Thanks man. I like using the flat military colors and shooting clear over it as it gives it more of a look how the paint was back in the day.
  2. I'm calling this one done fellows. Under Glass: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/186248-1950-chevy-pickup/
  3. I got out here in the garage this morning and got this one finished. I think it came out pretty good but it is not some of my best work by a long shot. Not sure what happened but when it came time for the final assembly it seemed like things just didn't want to work my way. I had an issue with the cab and box fitting on the chassis and lining up right. This may have been due to the chassis being so warped from the get go. Since I modified the engine it didn't fit right because I had the master cylinder over a little to far and it was hitting on the fuel lines so I had to move the engine forward which involved shortening the fan blade and pulley. The added chrome on the fenders is Evergreen item No. 241 half round stock then covered with bmf. The brackets for the sun visor were parts box hood hinges that I modified since I didn't like the over-sized brackets that came in the kit. I picked up the eyelids for the headlights at a model car show. Paint is Tamiya XF-21 Sky and X-10 Gun Metal then cleared with X-22. Wheels & tires are from Jays Wheels & Tires 1948 off ebay, Dog dish hub caps were added from the kit, Swamp Cooler & drop axle & rear lowering blocks are from the Iceman. Hope you fellows like my rendition of the AMT 1950 Chevrolet pickup. Like always, all comments welcome. WIP: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/185400-1950-chevrolet-3100-pickup/
  4. Nicely done 41 Ford. I like the tan top.
  5. Thanks David. The visor hinges may not be the best but much better than the ones out of the box. I should be wrapping this one up in a day or two.
