MPC ex-GMC = 1981 Chevrolet Scottsdale.

Working on this conversion of the MPC GMC Deserter kit . The cab/bed are not glued on as there are parts that need to be added to the engine bay. The suspension was cut down to non lifted stock height , and remains a 4X4. The tires/wheels come from a 90's Chevrolet Pickup   since Chevrolet was using basically the same wheels as a choice back in '81. The conversion grill is from Iceman Collections , and is awsome indeed. The grill is very well detailed.

That's looking great Rick.

Not sure if you noticed or not but the grille's upside down. 

The rounded corners are to the bottom.

Thanks for catching that, I'll get it changed around to correct that.

...and you posted in "Model Cars - WIP", so I guess we'll be seeing you soon in "Pickups, Vans, and SUVs - WIP"  Too bad about that pedestrian carrying his new bumper into traffic, at least the new grille wasn't damaged in the accident!?

Did you find a new steering wheel for it? I think that kit is the same as the camo truck kit that I have. It has a chrome after market steering wheel that I'd like to trade off for a stock wheel for my build.  Not sure where to look for that.

The GMC Deserter kit is MPC and has a stock steering wheel The Big Game (Camo) is 1/24 and Revell.

Thanks. For some reason I thought they were the same kit. Now I know where to find my stock steering wheel.

Is he going to be alright? Did he get hit by the truck or did he trip over all those parts? ?

None of the above. He's was just up there with the pickup while a few items were being added to the garage below the pickup. At the time the photo was taken the pickup didn't have the engine glued in nor any of the drive shafts attached.
