Scout II

[Scalper]

Finished this one up last week. Body was already painted and chassis partially assembled. Kit was missing  some parts. But still enough to have a half decent looking model.  Painted the hood flat black did not know what colour was used got the body. Painted all the body trim  tail light grill and BMF on windows. 

Photobucket is messed up getting worse by the minute. Will try to get all the pictures  posted.

Saw one on the road in Charlotte yesterday and was surprised to see it wasn't all rusted out!

 

Nice save, looks good!

Was that Scout built from an original ERTL kit, or no?

[Scalper]

Thanks guys.  I got the kit for 10 bucks the way it is. Don't know much about the kit but was told it's rare. Sounded like a good deal.  Here's the box art.

Are you saying that there is a difference between the AMT/ERTL kit and the ERTL Kit? Just asking as I do not know. 

[ChrisR]

Nice!

[Scalper]

Thanks guys. 

[Rider]

Always liked those trucks. The kits are a bit of a dog, looks like you managed to do it up quit well.

[Scalper]

Thank you Rider. Good thing too that the builder that started this kit was a pretty clean glueing parts.

No that's the same kit. A bit simple, from the era of before Ertl owned AMT and did a few kits on their own.  There are a few other versions including one with door openings. I have one 3/4 done.  I added a bench seat to mine, using photos of a 1:1.  I also felt compelled to add some detail items under the hood since it's pretty empty in there.

Turned out pretty good, Man....I liked this kit when I built it.....Fun.....

Thanks Tom for the answer. As nice as the Tractors and Semi's that ERTL put out I was thinking this somewhat simple kit was AMT's work from the 80's.

That's cool. It's nice to know it's not just me who's having problems with photobucket

I have to say I am sorry for not complimenting Andre on his nice Scout before I was rambling on with questions. 

This came out very nice Andre. I like the color choice you made. 

 

[donb]

Nicely done. I like it a lot.

[DumpyDan]

Looks good

[towman1271]

No worries. 

[vintagercr]

[426-Hemi]

Nice work Andre! I just got one of these SAME box art too. and I plan to make mine like one a close family friend had when I was growing up.....  

[Scalper]

Thank you.  426 hemi sounds like a cool project. Do you have a pic of the 1:1?
