Casey Posted December 19, 2016 Posted December 19, 2016 Looks like the final box art for the forthcoming 1/25 Revell Foose Ford FD-100 Pickup kit has been released:
Ace-Garageguy Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 I'll be looking forward to seeing what's in the box. Right now I figure I'll pony up for at least three...one to chop radically and two for parts. Got to get 'em before these molds disappear too...
Matt T. Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Tower Hobbies has photos of the Revell prototype build on their kit listing page. Front and rear 3/4 views. It looks great! Late May release date...
Chuck Most Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I'm hoping this one won't suffer from the now-traditional Revell body proportion eccentricities we've come to know and love. On the other hand, the '62-vintage '56 kit was always a bit misshappen, too. Meh- I'm probably going to end up with a caseload of 'em either way.
Exotics_Builder Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Okay. Here is the test shot we saw at our GTR November 2016 meeting. Sorry a couple are blurry. This one CANNOT BE BUILT STOCK.
mike 51 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 The "proportional problems" are in the Foose design...this is a radically modified F100 and anyone unfamiliar with the Foose truck but knows what a 56 F100 should look like may well be very disappointed. I wish they'd choosen a stock bodied F100 instead....
lysleder Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 what a 56 F100 should look like Aww c'mon, can't you see that it is beautiful ?? I'm planning to buy a few. Not because Foose has his name on it or anything, but because I like the way it looks.
Atmobil Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 I think it looks cool and Foose did a great job on it. What I'm also seeing is a test shot of the 66 Suburban in the background
afx Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Not a big Foose fan but I thought he did a great job on this one.
1930fordpickup Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Weather it is our cup of tea makes no difference, it is new tea after all. What engine is under the hood? To blurry for me to see. I will be picking up a couple, not making the 30 coupe mistake again. Edited February 21, 2017 by 1930fordpickup
bobthehobbyguy Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Looking forward to this. Really looks good.
Hawk312 Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 So this is still due out in May? It`s been a while since I`ve been this excited about a new release, and I`m not even a pickup guy!
oldcarfan Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 I'll get a couple most likely. I have the old Revell kit that I combined with the AMT kit years ago to get a stock '56 so I don't need a stock one. I like Foose's work and I'm glad to see any tie-ins that might bring new builders to the hobby and new kits to market! I would love to see a line of Overhaulin' kits based on the T.V. series that would result in new tools.
thatz4u Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Hobby Lobby has a slot marked for it, so it won't be long now!!!
Brett Barrow Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) What engine is under the hood? To blurry for me to see. Should be a Roush 427R "Sideoiler" which, IIRC, is based on a Windsor block not an FE like the original Sideoiler. The "proportional problems" are in the Foose design...this is a radically modified F100 and anyone unfamiliar with the Foose truck but knows what a 56 F100 should look like may well be very disappointed. I wish they'd choosen a stock bodied F100 instead.... Revell had a contest for modelers to choose the next Foose kit and this won the contest. Some higher-res pics from Revell: Somebody please do a F O R D tailgate, please! Edited March 29, 2017 by Brett Barrow
1930fordpickup Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Brett, Thank You for the info on the engine and the Pictures. I like this look. I hope the old version tailgate fits.
mk11 Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 ... wish they'd choosen a stock bodied F100 instead....Glad they didn't ... this one looks great! mike
Daddyfink Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 I like it! Sure looks miles better than the old chewed bubble gun cab from the old kit!
mk11 Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 Should be a Roush 427R "Sideoiler" which, IIRC, is based on a Windsor block not an FE like the original Sideoiler. Roush may be building some Windsor engines, but that one is definitely an FE mike
horsepower Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) Roush may be building some Windsor engines, but that one is definitely an FE mike Yep, based on the same engine that Shelby used in the 427 Cobra. Edited April 23, 2017 by horsepower
thatz4u Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 I wonder if you use the cab from this kit & bash it with an older kit & build a stock 56?
