V8 Trucker Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) The Pickup is from the "Hot Trucks" series from 1999 and it shows the kit on. Such a bad fit, I had not yet. Black with steel rims & holes bumpers.

62rebel Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Jan, I'm curious; what makes you say the engine isn't accurate in the kit? It's probably the best representation of the last version of the flathead Ford V8 in a current kit. Only the AMT '49 Mercury has a comparable example.

V8 Trucker Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 @ : 62rebel : the kit as a whole is not great, not the engine specifically. I had eg a warped hood, so I stuck them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 That is a beautiful '53 , Jan ! That old AMT 1953 F-100 is one of my all-time favourite kits ; the building options are excellent ( the stock L-Head V8 is really nice and is accurate ; how-ever , the optional DeSoto Firedome is what I truly like ! ).Considering that this kit has its origins in c.1963 tooling , it really stands up to the quality of today's releases . Certainly it is not with-out its "faults" ; it needs some massaging here and there , and its interior is , shall we say , "minimal" , but boy does it build up to an impressive representation . Yours being a fine example ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
