1tim1 Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Finished this truck a few weeks ago. Painted Toreador Red from Dupli-Color. Built box stock.
jeffdeoranut Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 very nice clean build...wish I cud paint this well
Metal Man Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Beautifully done - great color, top notch finish work - everything crisp and clean! What was your impression of the kit? Decent fit with no drama? Saw this at HL the other day and was thinking it might make a good first glue kit for my son.

Saw this at HL the other day and was thinking it might make a good first glue kit for my son.There is some drama with fitting the hood, also a good bit of drama fitting the frame to the cab with the interior tub in place during final assembly. I had to heat the interior tub at the floor pans on both sides and reshape to give me about the 1/4 inch I needed to make it work. I honestly wouldn't recommend for a first time glue kit. But I guess that depends on how old your son is. The kit is good subject matter though.

Davewilly Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 very nice. Looks like the kit builds into a pretty nice truck
Platerpants Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 teach me the art of paint like that. Very nice build
Atmobil Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Looks very good, I like it. Your color choice is very good and the paintjob looks great I think I have to buy this kit aswell

Greg Pugh Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Did you use a clearcoat? I plan on using that very same paint in the near future.
1tim1 Posted October 27, 2015 Author Posted October 27, 2015 Thank you everyone! Sorry for not replying sooner, I haven't checked this post very much.
1tim1 Posted October 27, 2015 Author Posted October 27, 2015 teach me the art of paint like that. Very nice buildIt isn't hard. Something I have learned recently is prep work is most important. Also, the brand of primer you use, you should also use the color coats and clear coats from the same brand. Did you use a clearcoat? I plan on using that very same paint in the near future. Yes, I used Dupli-color acrylic enamel clear.
