F-150's

[Harold]

Here's a few of my older builds. The brown truck started as a Lightning. I used the grille, engine, interior, tires, bumpers and suspension from Revells F-150 Super Cab. The color is Dupli-Color GM Autumn Maple Metallic over Plastikote Medium Brown Metallic, with Dupli-Color clear. The darkblue one is the Lindberg F-150 4x4 built almost box stock (I pinned the spindles for posable steering). The color is Testors Arctic Blue Metallic over Metalizer Aluminum, with a Testors clearcoat. This is one of the last paint jobs I did using Testors. Finally, the light blue one is another hybrid. This is the AMT F-150 with the cab from the Revell F-150 standard cab- longbox kit. The cab was always the downfall in AMT's glue kit version of the '97 F-150. However, the chassis is an equal to the Revell piece, and also has poseable steering. Paint is Dupli-Color Ford Crystal Blue with Dupli- Color clear.

You have some really nice looking trucks . Do you have more pictures of them?

[Harold]

Thanks guys-here's a few more for ya. The HD was bought as a very poorly built glue bomb at Deans for $4. Actually, there were two of them, so I wound up with enough bits to restore one of them. I started with the Revell Super Cab and used the suspension and engine from the Lightning (and that's how the Lightning became a standard F-150) and all the HD-specific pieces (interior, grille, wheels, tires and running boards). I had one whole bike that was still on the tree, and two decal sheets. Eventually, I'll have the handlebars chromed or Alcladded. The treadplate on the trailer was done with Bare-Metal Ultra Chrome foil. The grey one started as the AMT snap 4x4. I usedthe extra pair of HD running boards, used the Revell front seats, console and door pulls and the box, grille and headlights from a Lindberg kit. The red one uses the Revell Super Cab and long box with a stretched frame. The two unfinished ones are a near- box stock Revell kit (the black and tan one) and the other is the Lindberg F-150 with the box from the grey one.

i'm taking a wild guess here that you really like Ford F-150's? nice job on all of them!

What I really enjoy about these kits is the creativity allowed. I think only three of them come close to being box- stock (the blue Lindberg being the closest). It's just fun to see how many variations I can come up with (and I have plans for several more). I do have a Lightning, but the paint is old and worn, and it'll get a repaint here shortly (I'm also thinking about using the AMT chassis under it, properly lowered, of course). I still can do a box- stock Revell Super Cab, one with an AMT box, a standard cab/ longbox 4x4, a Super Cab/ longbox 4x4 and I started turning a Monogram Interdiction (oops, Expedition) into a four- door cab. This project has been ongoing since 2001.

Do you have any pics of your SuperCrew conversion? Sounds like a cool project.
