WIP: Gmc/Chevy pickup square body

[MrMiles]

This is the revell gmc kit that im going go put the chevy grill in it. Other than that its stock. I will most likely put the plow on it, but i haven't 100% decided.

 

This is a kit i have been working off and on for too long. Im at the home stretch now. I have the body on the jacked up chassis in the picture but only so i can paint it cleanly. Im using metallic paint, so i want to make sure it will match.

 

The body will be the 2 tone paint. The middle is painted a tamiya racing white, which is closer to cream, and the rest will be a lime green type color.

I already put down the white, and tomorrow i will clear it to make sure there is no leak.

Nice amount of lift on that one. It looks just right!?

[MrMiles]

Here is the paint. I honestly hate it.  The lime green doesn't look good to me. 

I also didnt square off the white in the front.

 

Not sure if i will continue or start over with a different color. It is not glued down yet, so im not concerned about the line up of the front and back

I like it, I think once you have it all detailed out, you’ll like it too.

That green looks nice! ?

[Tom Geiger]

Agreed. Leave it out on display and you’ll get used to it. Not a bad color

That looks like the right color for the square body trucks.

Thanks guys for the nice comments. im going to leave it on the shelf for now and start on something else for a week or so and see how i feel. its a mostly clean paint job but i just dont like the color. I will see how i feel in a week or so

I think the color looks fine.  Keep it in front of you as you work on another build.  It will grown on you quick.

Personally I like the color combo, especially on the square body trucks . You'll love it soon enough
