I was a big fan of all of Roger’s models. He had an immediately recognizable style that made me follow his projects, even if it was a subject I’d ordinarily have no interest in. He always followed and supported my projects, too, which meant a lot to me. That said, you nailed his style, Steve! I could imagine this truck coming from his hands and workbench. And, not just in build style but in parts selection, as well. As for your model here, it’s absolutely awesome. I love the choice Super Stallion engine. It’s impressive looking on its own and fills all that space under the hood nicely. Love the stance and color choices. The whole truck is on the money. 😎

Thanks, Tim! And, at least I still have the Wife and the House so it wasn’t for nothing! Also looking back, the pictures of the model are terrible quality so here’s some fresher ones. @Rocking Rodney Rat really pulled out all of the stops when he fabricated and painted/weathered this model. Again, I only glued it together. 😎

Yes! I don’t have a link handy for it but it’s there somewhere. Here’s a handful of finishes pictures. Was from Altered States. RIP, Chuck.

Looks great! Nice detail painting throughout. Decals look good despite your problems with them. I had this kit as a kid and “attempted” to build it but it was a bit beyond my 11 or 12 year old pay grade and it turned out pretty bad. If I can ever find another for reasonable money I’d love to do a redemption build.

Of course it looks easy when I post finished pictures but what doesn’t show is the 4-6 hours spent getting there! 🤣

Excellent bare metal finish!

Now months (3? 4?) later, I still need to order a can of Tamiya Matte Black so I can paint the top insert. Epic fail.

The first issue of the 29 Pickup (and only the first issue) had stock wheels and tires. From the second issue and on they were deleted. The first appearance of the 31 Sedan body had it included with the Woody body so you could build one or the other and it had stock wheels. The 31 Sedan Delivery never had stock wheels.

ABSOLUTELY BITCHIN!!! ?

@Speedpro Nice update, Paul! I’m digging the angled splash apron.

Today was a good one. All chassis and engine parts are primed with Tamiya Fine Gray. Picture proof below! I’m still not totally decided on a color scheme but I’m closing in. I’ll need to order some colors but I can paint a few things in the meantime. More soon! ?

Good news! All of the chassis and engine parts are loaded up in my highly sophisticated travel box and heading with me to my shop to get going on primer and paint. ?

@Rocking Rodney Rat Interesting! It must be the resin body. The wheel wells fit it perfectly but maybe it’s just a little out of shape at the bottom.

Stunningly well done!

Good looking 40 Coupe! Just a few well planned tweaks to that kit to the next level of cool. Perfect color choice, too.
