F350 Powerstroke

[muddragger92]

Well I have a had a few projects goin on right now but at a stand still on my mud truck so I moved to my tow rig which is the meng F350 Powerstroke. I have been out of the model works for awhile now so the quality is not where I'd like it to be but it's gettin better ALOT!! better lol.

Here I got the body painted an got the exhaust an exhaust tip. The size of the tip is scaled down to represent an 8" tip. An the exhaust is extremely close to 5" exhaust.  But not happy with the paint job some leaked under the paint so it's gettin all stripped off. So here is wha it looks like now tell me wha you think. I still need to paint the exhaust an make the tip chrome yet!!!

I'd clean up the paint edges and cover the seam with 1/32" Line-o-tape pinstriping tape from the hobby store or their website. Looks good overall, I like the large exhaust

Hey thanks for the input guys. An I have the body stripped I'm gona go a different route with the paint but gota fiND a good tape tht can go around the wheel wells an cover it good..

Well here are some updates got the paint stripped an the body back in primer. Still thinkin of a paint scheme thinkin a metallic brown an metallic light brown. But not sure yet. Got the exhaust painted still gota chrome the tip tho.

Here is the new color scheme for the truck. I have the dash done an a couple of seats. Hope to get more done tonight after work.

Well got the cab part painted don't look to bad what's your ya'lls take?

I liked the original color scheme but I like this better.  Did you make a complete new exhaust? If you did can you share any pics?  I'm still undecided on what I'm going to do with mine. I'm leaning towards just making a tail pipe an tip that looks the part. I'm not familiar at all with the exhaust on the Powerstroke trucks, my 1:1 is a V10 and I can tell you Meng got the V10 exhaust pretty much right...

Im not real familliar with Powerstroke myself. I am a cummins guy myself. But when i put the 5" exhaust  on my buddies 6.4 the exhaust is pretty simple. Just like the cummins Once you go to an aftermarket 4" or 5" exhaust from the down pipe back. It's usually just straight piped. I mean they do come with a big muffler but most ppl don't use them they just straight pipe them. So thts wha I did with this model just straight piped it with a 8" tip. But I will try an get you some more pics of how did the exhaust on this truck. It's pretty simple lol.

did it eat the whole bed or just the bedsides? I can help you out with the bedsides if that's all you need buddy.

[muddragger92]
