Revell 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor Christmas Builds

Joe Handley · December 22, 2024

So here are the Raptors Dad and I built for the club Christmas Party.

Dad’s is the Monster Truck built from the Raptor Make and Take kit, Lindbergh Weird-O’s Ram Monster Truck for the engine, axles, floor pan, and seat, 1/32 AMT USA-1 Monster Truck for the wheels and tires, then scratch built the frame, cage, leaves, and drive shafts from Evergreen products. He shot it in Tamiya White topped with their Fluorescent Red on the body, seat, and wheels, with a matte black on the chassis and axles.

Mine is mostly box stock with the exception of the Fireball Modelwerks KMC Wheels and Goodyear Tires, then scratch built the bed bar and spare tire holder using a strip of masking time as a strap for the spare as well as a couple lengths of K&S aluminum tube for the tail pipes that I also slightly notched the back bumper for. The wheels and front skid plate are all in Tamiya’s Gold and Matte Clear sprays with Testors semigloss black for the caps and rings as well as other Testors colors over the black plastic the truck interior and bed was molded in. The body, spare tire holder, bed bar and rails, and chassis/bumpers are in two different types of Krylon Black. The main color is Matte Black while the flares and all the rest are a textured black to resemble bedliner. It’s also been lowered after being inspired by Vaugh Gettin Jr’s Fun Haver F-150 Pre-Runner that was also bagged so he could drop it low for smooth and paved surface shenanigans but could be aired up and be used off road like a proper pre-runner.
