Revell Ford F 150 Lightning

Did you ever have one of those models for whatever just does not go right ?  This was mine . I wasn’t feeling this build and I know I rushed it just to get it done . Good kit just poor execution on my part . Anyway here it is . Messed up the windshield and really thought they could have done better with mounting the lower trim . Primed with Tamiya white . Paint is Duplicolor Sonic Blue Pearl and cleared with Duplicolor 1K . Wheels and tires are from the parts box .

I built the same kit years ago and never finished,it just didn't want to be put together!,one day i may strip and start all over again,nice to see you changed wheels the originals are just to small.

Ya, the kit seemed nice but there was just something about it that just gave me fits and I lost interest in trying to do my best, I just wanted it done. I guess the finished project shows that. At least I didn't throw it like I may have in my younger days.

Well Ray, at least yours is together!! Well done. Mine is still in the box it came in from 1999, may never get finished..

I like that you went with blue. Everyone seems to go with red. Including myself.

[cobraman]

Thanks guys.  Dan, I am sure yours will turn out better.

Real nice color Ray, I give you props for not giving up.

Thank you Carl.  I thought about it. I don't have the best temperament with models.

We’ve all had builds like that. Done and on the shelf at least. I also like the paint color.

Looks great!

Thanks fellows.  It's in the cabinet , the back of the cabinet.

I'll join in, I've had a few of these and unlike you, some of those ended up in ,,hum in pieces. At least you stuck with it and it really looks good in this color and the wheels look good on it. If you want another challenge, try an old heller kit. One recent kit I did (twice) was the full bumper Camaro 70 1/2. This kit fought me all the way. Patience and perseverance saw me through but , boy, sometimes you're just glad it's done. 

You've got a very nice model despite what you went through.

Thanks Mario ! I'm working on a kit now that is a real challenge for me. It's a resin Ferrari Ghia.
