1979 Ford F150 Flareside 4x4

[Atmobil]

Thank you very much Bruce
Yes, it looks almost ready for paint but there is still some sanding to do. I got ghost lines from the rockerpanel trim and I also have some more putty and sandingwork to do on the back wall where I have added some sheet-styrene to cover the outer sides of the backwall. Lots of work is needed on this kit to make things straight and true. I think my next model should be a Tamiya kit
Maybe these wheels was modeled on some 1:1 items, maybe someone knows what they are called and who made them?

The wheels I am using on this build could be based on Jackman wheels, I think:

I finally have a little update on this. I have painted the cab and hood and here you can see it mocked up on the frame with the grille and front bumper.
I will use the flame decals from Revells 64 Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt and that is why it is white on the front.

Last night I mounted the rails for the bed and mounted the bed on them.

And during last weeks model club meet I managed to make these:

These will be used to replicate the chains and lock for the tailgate.

     I like the paint job. I think the flames will look really good !
