International Scout II

[mrmike]

My completed Scout II with a CB radio, white lettered tires, 5 slot custom wheels and a 345 CI V8 with an automatic transmission. The paint is Tamiya TS-43 Racing Green with a Tamiya TS-26 Pure White roof and a Tamiya TS-46 Light Sand interior.

That Scout looks "Just Right"!

Good Show.

That turned out really nice Mike.  Great looking build.

Great job.  Love the color.  Been thinking about getting one for awhile.  I may end up doing it.

Nice looking build! I have both versions of this kit but haven't opened either one. I didn't realize how basic they are under the hood (no detail at all!).

Great looking Scout there Mike!

Came out great! Nice one Mike

Thanks guys!  One thing is for sure about any of the Scout II kits is the lack of detail.  No brakes or booster, no wiper motor, no nothing!  While the kit is stamped with a 2021 date code on the inside and AMT packaging, this kit goes back to the '70s-'80s as it is somewhat crude.  I have an original ERTL International Offroad Scout SS II and it is basically the same as the Scout II kit with many of the same components and parts.

Nice lookin' Scout Mike.  It wears that green well.  They sure are pretty simplified kits, but they are such a cool subject and never get tired of seeing them.  Congrats!

[mrmike]

Thank you Tony!  Simplified - yes!  Unusual subject - yes!

Great looking paint colors and finish along with the body trim. Like the interior details. These early designed kits make you appreciate the newer kits of today, but with clean assembly and detailing they can still show well.

Beautiful Scout Mike!

[mrmike]

Thank you David and Carl!  These old kits have a way of making us appreciate them.  I suppose I could have added other things like a master cylinder and a radiator, but that would have taken away from the original kit that I was trying to build.  I did add plug wires which I thought added to the kit.

Great looking Scout sir! I too like your color choices. I’ve had this kit on my wish list for quite some time now. 

[mrmike]

Thank you Keith!  If you want this kit, I would make an effort to secure one sooner than later.

Nice.

[mrmike]

Thank you Chris!
