bluestringer Posted June 8, 2023 Posted June 8, 2023 My next victim. It will be straight OOB. Probably go with a green exterior with brown or tan interior. 3
bluestringer Posted June 11, 2023 Author Posted June 11, 2023 Got some stuff primed. I was thinking of going green, now I'm thinking purple. 2

bluestringer Posted June 16, 2023 Author Posted June 16, 2023 Been a busy few days here this week. We had several storms move through causing lots of damage. We lost power for 2 days. All the while I was prepping for a colonoscopy, got it done yesterday, all good. I got the paint on, went with the green, I think it will look good after I get the clear on. Got the engine done. Did the bed with Tamiya Wood Deck and a Molotow pen. 3
Zippi Posted June 19, 2023 Posted June 19, 2023 Looking good James. Really nice kit and goes together nicely.

bluestringer Posted June 19, 2023 Author Posted June 19, 2023 Got the clear on. Looks ok, some spots not so good. May can do a little polishing on it. Still have not decided on a interior color. I will do the rims in black and I got a set of baby moons from the parts box I want to try. 3

bluestringer Posted June 20, 2023 Author Posted June 20, 2023 Got the wheels/tires done. I went with black rims and baby moons. Took a while to get those white wall decals on, they're a little off center, but it will do. I like the black/green contrast so I think I'm going black with the interior, but it will be Tamiya Nato Black. 1
mrm Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 Looking good. I have a couple of these pick ups, but the previous release of the kit. I've been meaning to get one done. However, I've made a promise - no new projects before the ones posted as started on here get complete. So, meanwhile I will follow and enjoy what you do with this kit. The engine looks fantastic by the way.

bluestringer Posted June 30, 2023 Author Posted June 30, 2023 Progress on this is slow. The weather has been hot and humid, and my work shed has no AC. I can't stay in it very long at a time. I did get the cab/interior almost done. The interior is hard to see, I should have taken a photo before installing it. 3
ModelcarJR Posted July 1, 2023 Posted July 1, 2023 Looks good, James! Nice work on the engine with the wiring. I didn't do it on mine as I thought it would be too fiddly but yours looks good! ??

I finally just took some small rubber tubing and pushed the wires in one end and glued the other end onto the distributor. It's really not the way it's supposed to be, the tubes should have been longer with the wires coming out at intervals along the way.
slusher Posted July 1, 2023 Posted July 1, 2023 Really nice. Wheels and tires and beautiful green with clear coat..
