1970 F 250 Camper Special

[leafsprings]

1970 F 250 Camper Special with "Custom" trim. Wheels, tires and hubcaps are from the '68 F 250 kit. Upgrades are 3 arm western mirrors and front bumper from the 70's issue AMT star truk kit with additional photo etch emblems. Painted  Royal Maroon from Scalefinishes.  Would be nice if there was a resin 10' camper available, the rear springs are ready for some weight.

Every build I have seen of these Moebius Ford trucks look great and this one is no exception.

Great truck. I agree, wish truck campers more readily available.

That paint job finish with that tru 70s color is far out! I like the engine decals touch.

Friend of mine had a '72 F250 in the same color that I should have bought when I had the chance. This model takes me back. ?

That is some beautiful engine detailing! Nice color choice too.

Thanks for all the positive comments. Any resin 1/25 scale slide in campers such as this old Lindberg HO? Only larger camper I believe is the Model King Open Road chassis type.

If you are up for some scratchbuilding, that could be done with some Evergreen or Plastruct sheet goods. Another option is to modify the camper in the recent 65 El Camino.

Not up to scratch building, you would think a 3d printer could convert this 1/64 to 1/25 fairly easily?  https://www.ebay.com/itm/266702055910?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110013%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIMRXI%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20201210111452%26meid%3D286f2e009cf74675b226ef92ce4958cd%26pid%3D101196%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D8%26sd%3D225991652314%26itm%3D266702055910%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D4429486%26algv%3DPromotedRVIPbooster%26brand%3DGreenlight&_trksid=p4429486.c101196.m2219&itmprp=cksum%3A266702055910286f2e009cf74675b226ef92ce4958cd|enc%3AAQAJAAABECwDxH%2FaslyJlxG5OwCzDVsvFPdCc7oPNES2pO%2FdXErh3FWD0RY5Z4as3zE1mat3WT6Ucv9T827oSX6ueBxJTFw2r9p2wb0deZUMMzPdc3WQ3XwhMEF9hcgM3SytbId%2FKeAwSu%2Fbt4zAQVlC5sBI42M%2BXde2gW0onrjpsko07Y7Bvd1rfYTTkMam4g4ddm7MLfMk5jjLmdDhSMavlGx8dn372r3WVDR5pnNNuF8WrMHgGO6GHUVdSrSrGx4oTSNyHJVdOMe%2FtKNCjwUoVmq26XvX1vzPx1y5cmXVWmKUaz2P500%2Bh7Tk%2FFDwscfqeyDRAQ6GTrS4xtcGI88ALdzTP0%2FwOutjq0KTMnXH7Ha9ekwC|ampid%3APL_CLK|clp%3A4429486&epid=8066029999&itmmeta=01HSP08BTDT89CZJE60Z242GYC

 Nice work! That looks like it just came home from the Ford dealership.
