Atmobil Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 Thank you very much BruceYes, 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 kitMaybe these wheels was modeled on some 1:1 items, maybe someone knows what they are called and who made them?

Atmobil Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 The wheels I am using on this build could be based on Jackman wheels, I think:http://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/jackman-wheels-info-fj40.341644/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atmobil Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
