The Italian truck

[Doug 1061]

Moebius '65 Ford longbed.  Back in the late 80's a friend of mine picked up a '66 Ford truck painted up like the Italian flag. I think he paid $500 for it ,likely a bit much.  It did run and drive.  Never did know why it was painted like this, assumed it was a sign for an Italian restaurant.  I told him if this truck ever gets kitted I would build it. Here is the actual truck.Anyway, here is my rendition of it.  This is my first attempt at weathering on frame and under hood.  Hope my post is OK, new to this forum stuff.   This is the  first Moebius kit I have built. Nice kit overall, fit together good.   Comments welcome.

Complete with the classic Molotov cocktail igniter in the gas filler neck! Good job.

Great job on the weathering!  Very realistic.

Love what you did in the bed, that is very realistic.

Very nice weathering on the frame and bed. I remember when you would see missing gas caps all the time. Now my SUV won’t even run properly when the cap is loose ! ?
