56 Ford F100 Original Revell

[Gramps46]

Just found this old photo of my build of the original Revell Ford F100.  Come to think of it, it might be the only stock '56 on the board. ?  Fortunately it is a survivor though I need to check the tires and wheels to see if they are melting.

Gary, great job on a kit that was difficult when new in 62...

I like that a lot. Nice simple as-built working truck.

Well done. Have a stock one in the works myself.

Nice!

Man that is one good looking build, and a tough kit.  Beautiful truck!

Very very nice!

Very nice Gary.

Thanks to all for  your kind comments.  My memory of the build was that I ended up gluing the doors shut and the front axle spindles were very fragile.  Boy that was along time ago.

You might be right. Rarely find these Revells done stock, that's why I like it. Came out real well Gary.

Great looking build. I have not seen many built stock like this before.

I did not know a stock version was made,the ones I built came with non stock tires and rims and if I done another would glue the doors shut.

I went digging into my files and found the instructions for this Revell F100 kit and as Al Rich said above they are copyrighted 1962.  The kit came with 2 engines, the stock Ford V8 and a Pontiac engine with GMC blower.  It also had a dropped front axle option, custom seat, tubular grille, door panels, exhaust stacks, reverse chrome wheels, and a surf board!!!  Gee, I had forgotten about all the custom parts.
