Might sweet step-side. Don't you just love it when a bunch of different kit parts come together and make a winner.  Nice choice of colors also.

That is a great looking truck, very clean build.

[Bills72sj]

Very nice! Well done.

[Tom Geiger]

Great results Steve!  You really pulled it offered!  The colors are so period typical too, we’ve all seen a truck in those colors. In fact my father’s 71 Belair was near that green.

I enjoyed watching how you put this together. Beautiful finishes. Never understood why Revell or AMT never offered a kit just like this. 

[cobraman]

Very good looking model.

Looks great.  I can't even get a whole window airbrushed to look good.

Trick is to clearcoat it afterward with acrylic clearcoat and polish it out same as you would the paint on the body.
