V8 Trucker Posted February 16, 2016 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. Greeting Jan The kit Set: An image with all 3 built PU from the set: Edited February 16, 2016 by V8 Trucker 1
Misha Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Beautiful job of a classic, plus great photos! Congrats on your build and looking good with your Chevys. What's under the hood?Cheers Misha
Renegade Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Great paint. Looks good in black. Very nice build.
wayne swayze Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Very nice looking truck! Great paint! Your roadway setting and background looks terrific!
V8 Trucker Posted February 16, 2016 Author Posted February 16, 2016 hello together, thank you for your very positive feedback that motivates.The engine I can not present, because I have the hood firmly bonded.As I said the kit is not the accurate.
V8 Trucker Posted February 20, 2016 Author Posted February 20, 2016 hello together, thank you for your very positive feedback again
62rebel Posted February 20, 2016 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 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
1972coronet Posted February 22, 2016 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 !
V8 Trucker Posted February 22, 2016 Author Posted February 22, 2016 Yes John, I agree with you, for the old, it is a great kit, albeit with quirks.
D. Battista Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Nice job on the Ford...! all three look great...!
carrucha Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Nice build. I really dig the black body and black wheels combo.
V8 Trucker Posted February 23, 2016 Author Posted February 23, 2016 Hi,thanks for your positive feedback
