Tyler62990 Posted November 30, 2016 Posted November 30, 2016 This one was a bit out of my comfort zone, but it had to be done. I wanted a modern pickup to put in front of a trailer I'll be building soon, but not being one for modern vehicles, I didn't want to waste the money and 2 months putting something together that didn't really interest me, for example the Meng F350. With that in mind, I settled on this snap kit from Revell. I was a bit put off by it being such a simple kit, but it fell together beautifully and ended up being exactly what I was looking for. The body was painted with Duplicolor Perfect Match paint over a flat black base. The base coat was masked off for the trim. The wheels were dechromed and painted satin black. I decided to leave out a lot of the "decals" and go with a more plain appearance. A little detail painting was also done here and there to make what I think is a pretty decent looking curbside. Thanks for looking!
mikemodeler Posted November 30, 2016 Posted November 30, 2016 That looks nice and I agree that while it is a simple kit, it looks very realistic when finished.
D. Battista Posted December 3, 2016 Posted December 3, 2016 Being a snap kit, skill level one. generally geared to the younger builders.... would be a simpler kit. This is the third one I've seen built and I think Revell did a great job with it. They look great with a little x-tra detail. And I think you did a really good job on your build... after seing a couple of these built on the show table, I bought one for myselfAgain great looking Raptor
kilrathy10 Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 Yeah, this is a pretty cool looking model.....I like the color choice and the fact that you left the stickers off.....They look ok if you DO use them, but I like it plain like this one.....Very well done with the wheels, too.....I like that.....This is much better than the 2017 version of this truck.....Much more "detail", so to speak......I still have 4 more of these to build.....For a snapper, it really builds up well.....Great job.....
