IceMan Collections Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Here are the pics for this one here. Very difficult to put together. Lots of fitting issues. I do not recommend this older release but not sure if the newer ones are any better. I hope so because I have some resin parts to convert this to a stock version and I really want to build that option for this truck without so many cuss words coming out of my mouth. Anyways....managed to finish it before tossing it.
BIGTRUCK Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Looks super Joel. tires , wheels and color work together well..
IceMan Collections Posted September 24, 2015 Author Posted September 24, 2015 Thank Ken. Appreciate your help and support.
crazyjim Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Looks good in SHINY . Maybe put a black wash on the grill?
rmvw guy Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 I like this old issue, that's the way they were, very fragile especially the door hinges. It took me a couple times. The real truck was not much better. I had a '41.i like the gold, looks very old school.

I really hope the repop is much better I have some ideas for two other builds for this. Looks good in SHINY . Maybe put a black wash on the grill? I did the black wash after suggesting it Jim. Looks pretty good. Thanks
ChrisBcritter Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Congrats on just getting it done, plus a nice paint job - fitting the cab/hood/fenders is tricky; if you channel the cab over the fender unit about 1/16, everything lines up. Of course then the door panel bottoms interfere with the floor, so more trimming... At least the sum of the parts has a very accurate look to it like most of the other Monogram 1/24 kits of the period. Edited September 30, 2015 by ChrisBcritter
IceMan Collections Posted October 4, 2015 Author Posted October 4, 2015 Thanks Christopher. I';; have to keep that in mind if I decide to build this kit again.
Lovefordgalaxie Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 I like it very much. I have a soft spot for golden cars, but this baby looks great being golden or not. Very cool "back in the day" vibe.
