migace Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) Hello everyone, haven't posted in a while but I have some built kits I have been building hopefully that I will post soon! Used the Lil Red Truck, was a fun build I love the older AMT MPC stuff! I used parts pack tires, resin wheels from Scenes Unlimited love them too, they are the GM rallys, but then i put the Chrysler caps on them the looked like the Chrysler police wheels so painted them to match and makes the truck look like a nice muscle truck. I cleaned up the drip rails and used some strip styrene to make all the trim for the two tone. paint was testors model master lacquers. Edited July 12, 2018 by migace
gray07 Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 love your truck it turned out great, ive drove a few of these.
Oldcarfan27 Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 Nice, I've had a hankerin' to build one too. All it needs is a DODGE decal for the tailgate.
migace Posted July 13, 2018 Author Posted July 13, 2018 Thanks everyone I really like green on the 70,s stuff
mikemodeler Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 Nice job! I have a couple of those to finish up, hope to get to them this fall.
Atmobil Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 Sweet looking truck, you have done a fine job on this. I have actually been thinking of getting a set of that type of wheels on my own 65 D100 as there is a online wheelshop that has them for cheap.
espo Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 If I had an old Dodge Step Side Pick up I'd want it to look like this. I like the somewhat understated look at first glance. Then you see the Wheel and Tire combination and you just wonder, Is that a Six or a 440 under the hood.
1930fordpickup Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 This looks very good. I like the stock look of the paint and body.
iamsuperdan Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 I like it! Reminds me of this truck. Saw this at a car show a couple of weeks ago!
oldcarfan Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 Looks great! It seems to me AMT is missing an opportunity to add another kit to their lineup for not too much investment. Take the Lil Red Express kit, add the slant six from one of their other kits, tool up some steel wheels and dog dishes and have a whole 'nother kit to release.
disabled modeler Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 stunning build...! I wish they would backdate this one into the earlier 2wd long bed ones.
Modelbuilder Mark Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 Very nice. My father owned the body shop in a Chrysler dealer when I was growing up, an this looks very close to what I would have seen. Nice.
Ben Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 Beautiful job!! For future reference, Joseph at Fireball Modelworks has very accurate Mopar police car wheels with hubcaps!
