Jo-Han Pro Stock Maverick

JJ Deuce · March 30, 2022

I built this kit once in high school (around 1990), painted it black, and used the decals from the Monogram '55 Ford Panel truck. I don't remember what happened to it but it's long gone. I finally found one for a decent enough price to build it, and so I tried to replicate the one from back then. I started a community build thread and several people did similar replicas of models they had built and wanted another shot at.

I built it box stock, and used the 427 SOHC option for the engine. The original build was Testors' black enamel, but I ran into issues with the Tamiya lacquer I initially used on this build. The only other black lacquer paint I found locally was Testors' blazing black metallic, and honestly, I like it better with the flake. This is the first time I used the Molotow pens for the chrome trim, and I learned some things, but overall I like it. I am a little disappointed in my application of the decals, but they're all at least 20 years old, and even with solvent, it was hard to get them as clear as I would have liked.

I'll post a thread in Community Builds later with everyone's finished builds. Thanks for looking!
