Zippi Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) This is Revell's latest release of the 1937 Ford Pickup truck. Paint is Tamiya acrylic X-3 Royal Blue thinned with Mr. Color Leveling Thinner. I cleared it with Tamiya X-22 Clear. I wet sanded the paint and the clear and polished it with Meguiar's liquid wax. The rear and front suspension was modified to except the wheels & tires from the 1956 Ford Pickup Foose addition kit. The bed was painted with FolkArt acrylic paint, Barn Wood & Raw Lumber. The darker Raw lumber was dry brushed over the lighter Barn Wood. I made loom tubes that came from the distributor and ran up along the heads. I thought the kit came out Super nice. I'm calling it "Blue Suede Shoes". Give me your thoughts fellows.
