8 Fords from March

[randyc]

I took a bunch of pics back in March to post up of things I've built or finished so far in 2023. But then life got to happening.  

The blue F150 is a replica of my 1:1 and the 65 Thunderbird is what my 1:1 will look like when we get to paint.  

I really need to come here more often since I'm back to building more.

Fantastic models, Randy. Would love to see more of your blue F-150. Looks to me based on the Monogram stepside kit. Did you bash it with a Monogram Bronco to make the bed?

Love the Blue Oval and that is one fine collection of them.  Would have to say I am torn between the 40 and the 58 T-Bird, both are beautiful. But then the rest of the bunch is quite fine looking also.

Nice work. They all look great.

Great looking bunch. Love the Bronco.

Super group of Fords Randy. I especially like that Tbird. Beautiful color goes well with the white top.

Great collection of Fords!

There is a thread about the blue F150 over in trucks section.  In the under glass and an old one in WIPs. 

Yes it is the monogram/revell 1/24 stepside kit.  

Bed sides are the body sides from the Bronco.  Inside bed and tailgate are the 91 dually.  You could use the 91 slab side monogram and use just the bronco wheel openings I guess.  The real trucks are very similar under the skin.  Might be better to put the 80-86 body on the 91 chassis?  The engine compartment might be better.

And I forgot the Moebius 70 F100.  That's where the blue and white on the 58 came from.  I've used those colors on a lot of builds.  The Rust-Oleum cans will paint several cars.  Lol.  And I also like that combination.

Great group of Fords and I particularly like the '65 Thunderbird. 

I'm normally not a truck guy but I'd certainly consider the '70 F-100. Builds up very nicely.

Nice group!
