Hi-Po

Looks good! I really like the smiley face!

I have to agree with everyone else, outstanding build on both vehicles. Very nice.

I have had this kit in my stash for many years and finally decided that it was time to build it. The kit is the AMT/ERTL 1995 Ford F-150 XLT, kit # 6106, which I believe has not been reissued in many years. At least I have not seen one advertised in ages. The kit is a dream to build with very minor flash and great parts fit. If you can find one, I highly recommend that you pick it up at once. Some of the modifications that I made to the truck are as follows: In the interior I added seat belts (three of them), a travel mug (scratch build), embossing powder for the carpet, door cranks, door panel trim (BMF), a turn signal and shift lever to the steering column as neither one was included in the kit, door locks and a Truck magazine. I simulated a Line-X truck bed liner using Krylon textured spray paint and scratch build the Line-X placard. Using spare decals I fashioned back up lights for the taillight assemblies. For the cab of the truck, I scratch build the rear slider and the 3rd taillight. I used regular auto tinting film on the rear slider Other improvements were tire valve stems for the wheels, aluminum exhaust tips, scratch build antenna (using small gauge wire) and I replaced the kits plastic spare tire with a rubber tire from my spares box. For the side trim, I used War Bird chrome decal stripes. I removed the kit chrome from the front and rear bumpers and side mirrors. The parts were then shot with Alclad ll chrome. The paint is from Scale Finishes. After the paint was dry, I rubbed it out using Novus #2 and then I waxed the body using Meguiar's Gold Class auto wax. I also added spark plug wires and battery cables to the engine bay. And if you look close you will see that I added hood stops (bumpers) to the front engine bay panel. I just noticed that most of the photos are of the right side. I am not sure how that happened. My mistake, sorry. Enjoy the photos.

Nicely done.

Simply beautiful!! I like it.

That's one good looking truck! Nice color combo.

Impressive build. I really like the weathering details and the diorama setting is spot on.

I am in agreement with everyone else that this is an impressive build, nice and clean. Keep up the good work.

Outstanding!! Beautiful workmanship and the paint job is flawless. Well done, Sir.

Nice! Simple, clean and neat.

Turned out really nice. I like it.

Turned out nice. Don't give up on the BMF as I have had sheets to the same thing to me. I found that the sheets need to be stored at room temp and kept free from any moisture. Also the age of the sheet can make a difference. After a couple of years, the adhesive seems to go south and the sheet becomes unusable. I replace my sheets every two or three years, just to be on the safe side.

I agree with everyone else, awesome build and would like to see more photos.

Now that is just way too cool! Outstanding workmanship. I like it.

Nicely done. I like it.

You nailed it perfectly! Everything about the truck takes me back to one of favorite shows. Nice job.
