AMT 60 Chev pickup “farm truck”

[STU111]

G’day everyone. Did this one some time ago. Great kit, went together nicely with no issues. Decided to do it as a weathered farm truck with slight surface rust. Tried the salt weathering method inside the load area and mud and dust washes and compounds on the underside. Thanks for looking, any comments welcome. ?? Cheers, Stu.

Looks well used-the way a work truck should be.

That looks Great, Stu! My Dad had a '61, and that's how his looked about 20 years ago. You really got it right.

 

Good Show.

When I read the title, I expected to see a tubbed-out pickup with a camper shell and a big block, I was pleasantly surprised by your real subject. The clean build, perfect colors and finish are spot on. The lettering and weathering are done just enough to appear realistic. It's a fine model, thanks for sharing.

Super nice Chevy pickup Stuart, well done!

Thank you everyone for your kind comments on the pickup. I find it probably harder to do one “beat up “ a bit than a smooth, shiny finish. I’ve got a few pickup truck kits in the stash now, and will certainly be building a couple of these in well used condition. Thanks again.

Cheers, Stu.

DITTO  ???    And the neat part, my step-grandfather had a real one that could have been the one you used as your reference.

Really sweet, very clean build. The weathering is spot on. I have to respect the fact that you used the stock hubcaps & tires!

This is one of my favorite AMT kits of all time, even with its shortcomings.
