Meh... any company with a back catalog as extensive as Revell's is bound to have a few junkers. But they had weird proportions on some kits as far back as the '62-vintage '56 F-100, with it's blobby fenders and weird greenhouse. Then there's my "favorite"- the "somehow slightly blockier than the 1:1" Jeep J10

Hard to tell where the Peugeot ends and the dumpster begins... ditto the Chevette.

I remember stumbling across this a few days ago on another site. Love it! Are those front wheels from the Silhouette trailer?

Well... know this- the things he says in interviews are rarely (if ever) meant to be taken seriously.

Unlike the '15 Mustang GT, this Build and Play kit actually has some chassis detail- but it would be hard to get away with a flat plate on a vehicle that sits as high as a Wrangler. I'm told the chassis from the Rubicon will fit under the body from this one with minimal work. if that's true you could probably use the Rubicon interior too, though you'd need to modify the inner door panels, as this one has full doors and obviously the inner door panels differ. This kit also has a separate hood and proper five-bolt wheels (the latter correctly shown in the pic).

In Tremors 3, Burt's Ford Explorer Sport Trac plunges over the side of a ravine and explodes, but when they get to the wreck it looks an awful lot like a Dodge Caravan.

What Steve said... you don't have the rub strip all the way gone yet. That being said, ghosting is a problem with these- something I learned when I built my Michigan State Police Crown Vic. Any of the solutions others have posted will work, I've also had good luck going over the primer with a sealer. I use DupliColor primer, and then go over it with their line of primer sealer once the bodywork is finished.

Nice! I've got the 1:24 Airfix version kicking around somewhere, I'm hoping it'l turn out half as nice as yours did.

Nice! I'd toyed with doing one of mine as a Park Ranger unit. 2/5/2015... the day of the Expedition.

Add a couple more cylinders and it would be perfect. Gonna have to steal that dual-plug Hudson idea...

If it'll be seen, I paint it. If it won't, I don't.

Another Expedition, done as a police version. I did it differently than the box-stock police version, though I got the idea for the paint job from the box art model. I used a Vector light bar and spotlights from a Lindberg Crown Vic. I also used the kit-supplied roof rack cross bars- the kit supplied-light bar and antennae fit into the holes for those. I mounted the antennae in a different position than the box-stock location. Again, I went with F-150 wheels, but these were stripped of chrome and painted gray, then the hub caps were painted. Both bumpers were also stripped of chrome... in hindsight I probably should have removed the XLT badging from beneath the Expedition scripts. Once again, a nice, glossy black paint job eludes me, but I'm getting warmer. Decals were nabbed from the Revell '57 Custom and '90 Mustang.

Revell SSV reissue, though I used F-150 wheels, Goodyear Tracker tires, and left out the majority of the police equipment for the interior. The blue lens in the light bar was replaced by a red one nabbed from a second Expedition kit. Though I started working on this one quite a bit after the police version I'm about to post, I finished this first, albeit only by a couple of hours.

I was disappointed at first... I thought this was a post (in the wrong section) about my favorite TV show. Then I remembered you were building this Sunny, and felt better. Great job on it! I can see Mack driving it while he speaks with his terrible Mel Gibson accent.

They outdid themselves on the bed- cut some stake pocket holes in the rails and it would be perfect. And yes, the inner structure for the stake pockets IS present, and very well done... I didn't detail the chassis much, but here it is. I had originally planned to weather it a bit more, and add some overspray to the floor (as well as paint the bottom of the bed yellow), but as you see, I never got around to that... And yes, the spare (vinyl tire and plastic wheel) and carrier are separate. I had originally planned this model to represent a truck that was about five years old and starting to show its age, but switched gears when I saw a nice, restored Chrome Yellow/Pure White '72 F-100 for sale.

My second one will have a solid front axle swap (from a Monogram K10), and has had the goofy molded spare tire removed as well. Might go with the BFG Krawlers from Fireball Modelworks. I also cut away those butt-ugly stock fender flares.

Nice! These do look good in orange.

You do know that anything David Spade says in an interview is rarely (if ever) meant to be taken seriously, right?

Yep... some people think the world needs to come to a screeching halt because they had to wait four weeks for their widget to show up, even being aware of the situation. And you just know if those same people were in Paul's shoes they'd be asking for all kinds of leeway.

'75 El Camino.... ick. I used to have one.

I'm just gonna leave this here...

There's a resin one in the works, but if you don't want to wait, this should point you in the right direction- http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Repstock/library/Ford%20pickup%20standard%20wheelbase%20bed?sort=6&page=1

Nice... but I'd hate to try parallel parking it.

Bed is mounted. I went with the "wraparound" style back-up light lenses, to date the bed to '87-91.
