1950 Ford Pickup
bluestringer replied to Zippi's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Just found this Bob. That 50 Ford is looking sweet. Great color, and the height is perfect. Excellent work my friend. -
This is the one I have. Model 750, 4.8 volt. Around 18-20 years old. It runs pretty slow on low, but I found I can make run even slower by only half charging the battery. The battery is still good, but if I ever need another one they are cheap on ebay.

This is my third build of this little roadster. Great kit. I went with a military theme this time, using decals from the 30 Ford Coupe kit. Paint was Tamiya Deep Green and Cockpit Green. I think it came out good, but always room for improvement. Had fun building it. The windshield frame was warped in this kit, but not as bad as the other 2 kits I built. I was able to make it work ok. All comments welcome, and thanks for looking.

That is a beautiful Camaro. Nice work. Which Revell kit is this, I think there were several.

Looking good. Nice work.

How big is your... stash?
bluestringer replied to Pierre Rivard's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I've been back in the hobby for about a year and a half now. I've built around 30 during that time. I have 15-20 in my stash. I have now started getting into the military aircraft kits, so I'm buying both cars and planes now. -

I like it. Will have to try it.

Thanks Greg. Thanks Jim. Yea, it went well with the tire decals, I was surprised. I've learned a little since the last time I tried it.

Thanks Bob.

Thanks Chaz. Thanks Carl.

Ok, got the tires ready. Going with plain black rims with whitewalls. Also used the decals on the seat and interior panels. The last 29 I built I tried using the decals but messed them up. They came out good this time, I used some Testors Decal Set I picked up at HL. Seems to work ok, smells like vinegar, wonder if I could make my own mix.

Looks great. Nice work.

Looking great. Very nice. My favorite year Chevelle. I have the kit in my stash. I'm watching.

I painted mine with a airbrush, first time doing a camo paint job. Came out ok, but needs improvement.

Engine looks good. I'll be watching as I have this kit in my stash and hope to start on it soon. 51 is my birth year and I remember my Dad having this car when I was just a little squirt.

I just built my first plane. It was the Airfix 1/72 scale P-40 Tomahawk. Found out quickly 1/72 is too small. I was gifted an Academy 1/35 AH-1Z Viper helicopter for Christmas, it looks to be a very nice kit. Lots of detail and comes with PE fret parts and even has the mask pieces already cut for the canopy. I also picked up a Revell 1/48 P-51D kit at HL, the P-51 is my favorite also. Next kit I buy will probably be Tamiya as I have heard they are some really great kits.
