International Scout II

[StanGlover]

Here’s the International Scout II by AMT that I finally finished. This one is from the older ERTL-era issue. It’s painted in Tamiya TS-8 Italian Red with various Krylon sprays for the interior.

For whatever reason, I struggled big time with the paint finish on this build - I ended up stripping it twice, I cracked the body in two places, and then the final clear coat bubbled at the front driver’s side fender. I decided to let it go and finish it since I was getting burnt out on it. That fender looks worse in person but the rest of the paint turned out great! The kit itself is pretty simple but it fits together great and there are no warping issues. The mirrors that came with the kit were misshaped blobs, so I used a set from a Mobius Ford.

I've heard this is a difficult kit. Yours looks great. Clean and tidy. Interesting Interior treatment.

Very Sanitary, Detailed Build. The Gold Wheels, and Striped Seats raise the level nicely! Excellent Satin smooth finish.

 

Good Show.

Great looking paint color and finish. Clean minimal body trim. Like how you did the seating surfaces, very original looking.

Magnificent model!!!! And with the kit's basic design and inaccuracies, that's really sayin' something!!!

Great looking Scout. I like the color combination and interior choices. Don't worry about the paint bubbling, that's just the IH steel already starting to rust, lol. Love Scouts, just wish they didn't rust so bad.

Very nice model.
