shoopdog Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 Finished the pickup today, have had the trailer done a couple of weeks ago as it was the main reason I purchased the kit. Waiting for the AMT dually kit to come out for my tow vehicle. Both were pretty fun to build. Trailer is painted Tamiya Ts-10 French Blue and the truck is Tamiya AS-1 Dark Green. I used the optional Desoto “Firedome” V8 instead of the flathead. I finished the truck as if the owner is in the final stages of completing his restoration. Thanks for looking and appreciate any feedback. 8
XYHARRY Posted June 23, 2023 Posted June 23, 2023 This kit is on my wish list and your version of it looks great. Well done Keith. Cheers, David. ??
Zippi Posted June 23, 2023 Posted June 23, 2023 Nice man. I'm really diggin that trailer. I bought this kit at HL some time back.
espo Posted June 23, 2023 Posted June 23, 2023 The livery on the trailer turned out especially good looking. The Ford pickup is very cleanly built and has the work in progress look.

KWT Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Very nicely done.. Truck, trailer and racer.. When you add the dually, are you going with the Gulf paint scheme? Edited June 25, 2023 by KWT
stavanzer Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Awesome Set Up. Looks like an above average, "Saturday Night Special" race team with a bit of extra money and a whole lot of pride! Perfect weathering on the truck, too.

Yes I do plan on doing the Gulf paint scheme and I did save two of the Gulf decals for it. I do regret not using a lighter color of blue on the trailer, something that matches the Gulf colors better.
Rattlecan Dan Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Nice job on all. Great truck realism. Good job.
Chirps Posted July 23, 2023 Posted July 23, 2023 Very nice! I have one in my stash that might’ve just gotten moved a closer after looking at yours. Any issues at all with the kit (besides being a bit of an older release?)

Any issues at all with the kit (besides being a bit of an older release?) Kit went together quite nicely. The only things that come to mind is I had to take some material off the firewall to get the “Firedome” engine to fit better. Also the axles are to long for the chrome wheels and need to be shortened. I just used the plastic axles and cut them to my liking. Enjoy your build!
