JTalmage Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) Just finished this one up. I completed a Mustang, trailer, and this truck for this months club meet theme. Truck goes together fairly well. I've had this kit for over 10 years and never found an excuse to build it until this year. Tamiya white primer with Tamiya pure white over that, followed by model masters turquoise over that for the two tone. Then a pearl clear over top of that. I used some small chrome pinstrips for the paint separation lines that I wasn't thrilled with. Truck tool box is from BNL Resins I forgot to take an engine shot, but distributor is a M.A.D. distributor. Let me know what you think Edited March 14, 2016 by JTalmage
chunkypeanutbutter Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Perfect colors. Can't wait to grab one of the reissues.
JTalmage Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 It took a long time to settle on that color combo. I didnt like it still until after I put the pearl clear on it... then I liked it.
JTalmage Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 Thanks here's a couple pics of the race team I put together
mikemodeler Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 That is a nice looking truck, and the whole set up is pretty nice too.
gatorincebu Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 That is a real good looking truck. I like the two tone paint. And the colors are a good choice. The trailer and race car look good as well. Be Well Gator
av405 Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) Excellent paint choice. This has to be on of the best build ups of this truck that I've seen in a long time. Edited March 15, 2016 by av405
JTalmage Posted March 15, 2016 Author Posted March 15, 2016 Thanks folks! I actually won first place in my class I entered the whole setup in tonight at the club meeting!
vintagercr Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Great looking set up. Looks like you are off to Oklahoma
kilrathy10 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Great job on this truck.....Excellent work....Love that 2 tone paint job.....Looks so much like a typical F350 of that era.......And great job on that trailer and Mustang.....I really dig the color on THAT baby......The whole thing looks awesome.....
CFMgarage Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Jesse, I love this build and I love the trailer/racecar/tow truck combo. I'm doing something similar too, as after I saw your trailer and how good it looked painted, I picked one up too. My colors will definitely be different, but still -> Thanks for the inspiration.
Belugawrx Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Cool Team shot Jesse Nice work on all of it Cheers
