Dragline Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 Now that I'm back building vehicles now and then I went through old 1/2 builts and new kits to see what was what. I pulled this one out thinking I would do a full WIP on it. Curses, foiled again! It seems I already had it going. I left a note when I packed it and all I wrote was "white interior". So that is what I did. Shot the seat, door cards and dash in semi white. The grey decals should look bitchin. Chassis is stock I just changed a few colors. Paint is I believe Testors Turquoise. It is darker than the photo since I used a flash. After a buff and a few decals Ill call it done.
Zippi Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 Boy that is looking Super kewl Bob. I love that blue. I've built a couple of these kits and they are great. 1
Tom Geiger Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) I like it. I think a lot of us did our own thing with this kit. And it goes together so well! Edited October 30, 2022 by Tom Geiger 1
Joe Nunes Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 Great color choice for this era truck. Looks like it will be eye-candy when finished! Joe 1
Dragline Posted October 30, 2022 Author Posted October 30, 2022 Thanks fellas. This kit is a dream to assemble and very well engineered. There was half of me that saw that blue and instantly thought chipped paint and rust. The other half reached for thw 3M compound to start polishing it. I do like my color choices and they are period-ish. Once the white cures and I can decal the interior pieces Ill mock it up but really it is in the home stretch. 1
Dragline Posted October 30, 2022 Author Posted October 30, 2022 I love lacquer paint. Laid it down yesterday and today you could drive a nail with it. I cannot say enough nice things about the engineering of this kit. Almost Tamiya like. I think my choice of white was a good call here. The kit decals laid down smoothly and reacted to solution well. A littlIe detail painting of the dash and I really have something here. 1
NOBLNG Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 Wow, those decals laid down beautifully! All round nice work!? 1
Dragline Posted October 31, 2022 Author Posted October 31, 2022 Worked on this most of the afternoon and after supper. Looks like a buff and some BMF are all that are keeping this from the shelf. 1
TransAmMike Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 Very nice looking truck ya got there Bob!! 1
slusher Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 Great interior and color choice on your Ford! 1
Dragline Posted November 4, 2022 Author Posted November 4, 2022 A couple of finished shots. The rest in the completed section. Thanks for playing along. 1
Andrew McD Posted November 4, 2022 Posted November 4, 2022 I have this kit in the stash. Your build has set the standard way up high but it sounds like a fun build. 1

Kind words Sir, but Im not certain about how high I set any bars. I know this. You will enjoy every bit of building this kit. Put your own stamp on it and I am sure it will be a stand out.
