echoxrayniner Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) With a ton of help, photographs and measurements provided by av405, I'd designed a set of Nite decals for the F-150 and Broncos of that era. I bought a F-150 Shortbox kit and lo and behold, it was missing the body, bed, hood and frame even though the seller claimed it was complete. Though very fortunately, I spotted another one going dirt, dirt cheap and immediately jumped on it so I could actually give those decals a go and see how they'd turn out(fade effects are a right b**** to nail). And with AMT/Round 2 coming up with a '92 F150 Lightning re-release I thought having a Nite in all black alongside a bright-as-heck red '92 Lightning eventually would be a neat idea! I jacked up my hand significantly at work a week back and one of the few things I can do(albeit... slow, very slow) is actually do some work on these kits. So far, so good!

Jonathan Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 So, how does one procure a copy of that awesome set of decals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echoxrayniner Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 Just drop me a message if you'd like the decals, having 'em printed takes a while though. Also, I've finished painting the whole ordeal, just gonna plumb the engine and whatnot - of which I'll add pics and edit this post soon, not at home for the weekend D: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66belair Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I'd be in for a set of those decals myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUNK-MAN Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Ooh baby, that's my kinda build always owned that body style in 1:1 and have always wanted to build a replica of my 91 f150, I live the nites, they were always nice sharp trucks I never had a nite myself but a guy I knew did and it was sweet his was a 94 flareside, how abouts making a set and using the 80 revell box? Nice work though may have to sign up for a set... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk11 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 The Nite package was just available in '91 and '92. AMT makes the correct flareside box for the '92; no need to fool with the incorrect '80 box.  mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarfan Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I actually owned a 1991 Nite edition for several years. I wouldn't mind getting a set of these as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echoxrayniner Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 Worked on it a bit more the other day, desperately working through the horror show suspension, which is nice and complicated but prone to bending, snapping, breaking with even the littlest amount of force applied. Think I gotta crank the rear end up a fair bit, make some little blocks for the suspension arms to stand on so the ride height goes up a bit cause it looks ****in' near a lowrider in the back by itself. Anyone who desires a set, just drop me a message! No problemo! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
