Foose Pickup (my take)

[ncbuckeye67]

This is a well-engineered kit, in my opinion. It practically falls together.

I agree with ya Jeff.  It is a very nice kit.  Nice looking color on the interior.

Very nice kit and even better looking if you remove the mold seams before painting.

Thank you! i wanted to find colors that went well with the exterior paint.

Yeah. Sometimes they're more visible after painting....

Nice shade of greens your using!

Looking good!

Two coats of Tamiya clear over Tamiya light green pearl & Tamiya white pearl. I'm loving how this is turning out.

Heads up - I seem to recall seeing that the windshield doesn’t fit right on these without grinding away some of the dash…although seeing as you’ve painted that already probably sanding the windshield a little on the bottom would be the best solution.

I haven’t built one of these myself, but made a mental note for when I do, having seen a few people report the same problem…

I appreciate the heads up. I guess a lot of test fitting will be in order then.

Beautifully done so fаr.

Thank you! I thought it looked like a 50's color, with a custom touch.

On the Foose pickup the glass fits very well, in fact too well.  It snaps in place as a unit.  During my test fit, I couldn't get the glass to come back out!  Be careful!

Thanks Tom! I'll definitely proceed with caution.

great color on your Foose Ford !  I'll parrot what Tom mentioned about the glass, mine clicked in so well, it was never glued. I've mis-handled that build more than any other, and the glass hasn't shifted.  An extremely fun build to break up long projects.

Doing a quick search here turned up tons of Foose builds, showing how many fall together

Funny thing... back when the Foose series was announced there was a lot of moaning in the community!  People were upset that Revell was bringing out customs you couldn't do anything with, instead of a 1951 Hoosit  that they personally wanted to see kitted.

And interesting how many ways we have figured out how to build them!

Too bad they put FOOSE on the tailgate!  Some nice aftermarket FORD decals would go better!
