1955 Ford Panel Truck

[Koellefornia Kid]

Hi guys,

here is another one of my earlier models, built around ´95/´96: a Revell ´55 Ford Panel Truck.

It was the first time I tried to create a unique custom car model by combining parts from several other kits.

I lowered the suspension as much as possible and shaved the complete body. The hood peak was extended and I frenched the lower thirds of early ´90s Mustang taillights in the rear, along with a recessed license plate. The grille is scratch built and equipped with a Testors CheZoom grille bar. Wheels and tires came from the Chezoom kit as well. Scratch built hinges enable the hood to tilt forwards and it reveals a wired 5.0 engine from Monogram´s ´55 Pickup.

Hope you like it

Looks cool to me. Like the color combo too.

That would have been very on-trend for the mid nineties, Oliver.  Using the frenched Mustang taillights was a great idea.

Cheers

Nice looking panel truck, to me this is a hard kit to look good, but you have done.

Great styling for a sometimes boxy body style. I love the stance. Thanks for sharing.
