1/24th scale Ford LN hood.

[N1095A]

I know PLASKIT Resin from Canada produced a nice 1/25th scale LN long hood for the Ford short hauler kit. I've used them before, and they're great. The only drawback is the months it takes to get one. Lately I've been toying with the idea of making a LN long hood for the Italeri 1/24th LNT 9000. I thought of starting with the Italeri 106 Aeromax, and re designing the fenders to LN spec. i was wondering if anyone has made any prototypes for resin casting, and what advise you might be able to offer.

Too bad your wanting a 1/24 LTL long hood (LN is the short hood). I am currently working on a 1976 LTL 9000 long hood that will have a seperate grill surround as well as the grille itself.

I can send you some pictures if you want to email me. I tried putting them in this message but it keeps saying that the file is too big.

The LTL hood is a different animal all together. here already is a 1/24th kit with that hood.

This is the LN short Hood:

This is the the LN Long Hood. (The one I want to make.)

This is the later LTL9000.

There was an earlier one which was basically an extended L9000.

Take a look at http://images30.fotki.com/v38/fileEM0I/8dd...8/LLine7604.jpg for a picture of this puppy.

The LTL you posted is the later model. The one I am building is a 1976 year model. It looks very much like the LN your wanting to build but the hood is longer.

The mid length hood LN your wanting to build is available from Plaskit out of Canada. Daniels kit includes the hood, newer style grill (like the one in your picture) and the square headlights.

The correct front bumper and radiator overflow expansion tank can be bought from Sourkraut models.

Plaskit also offers an "update set" that can be used with the AMT Ford LN hood to make the truck you have in the picture with the shortest hood.
