665@213 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Hey everyone! I picked up this 1:25th scale F100 last week & thought I'd share it with you guys. Pretty nice for a diecast, the bed is correct, which is the best part! It has a 302 that is wired, kinda light on detail, but none the less, a good find for $30. Enjoy!
jeffs396 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Looks nice Jeremiah! Have you sized this up beside the AMT '78 Ford pickup out now? Was wondering if this proper 8' bed could be used on the styrene kit...
665@213 Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 No, Jeff I haven't yet. It looks pretty close to scale by eyeballing it though. I was thinking that it would be great to get this casted!
BLOODBANE Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Who makes it? Might have to try and find one myself....
665@213 Posted March 21, 2015 Author Posted March 21, 2015 It's made by a company called 1st Gear. The bed does look like it will fit the AMT kit very well. I put them side by side & front to back yesterday, and they line up really well.
unclescott58 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Thanks for the heads up on this one. Just went over to eBay and ordered one. They look pretty good, looking at the picture on eBay too. Scott
1959scudetto Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Who makes it? Might have to try and find one myself.... First Gear also made very nice trucks - I have bought myself 2 Mack B61 from ebay USA, a tractor and a wrecker with a Holmes twin boom - very heavy diecast models with good details (photo-etched exhaust shield for the tractor, metal chains for the wrecker, see pics) - hood ornaments and rear-view mirrors are still in the boxes.
Maindrian Pace Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 I wish I could find one of those for 30 bucks, the cheapest I've seen them listed for is around $50.
665@213 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Posted April 29, 2015 I picked mine up at the local Ford dealer. They have another in the case if youre interested.
Maindrian Pace Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Thanks Jeremiah. Did they happen to have the blue/white two tone? -Mike
