1/25 MPC Dodge D100 Pick-up

[GeorgeA]

This is my version of the MPC 1978 Dodge D100 Custom model kit, this model represents for me a nice memory since my grandfather had a truck like this but in 1979, it was my attempt to recreate that truck where I learned to drive. When reviewing the brochures of the time I saw that when the vehicle was red outside the interior was also red, for the exterior I used Tamiya TS 49 (Bright Red) and for the interior I used Tamiya XF 7 (Flat Red). For the Chrysler 318 V8 engine (I think it's the one that comes with the kit) I used Tamiya X 14 (Sky Blue), I placed it with the steel wheels because that's how I remember my grandfather's truck. I really like the body lines of this pickup, something typical of Mopars and that was revived in the 1990s with the 1994 Dodge Ram. Anyway, I thank everyone who takes a little of their time to look at this model that is so special to me.

Great looking Dodge.  Well done.  Looks like you're missing the fuel filler cap.

Thanks, James, for your comment. I don't think I highlighted the fuel filler cap. Since this is a long-bed pickup, the fuel filler cap wasn't located in the cab, but on the bed itself, in front of the inner fender. I'm posting a couple of photos of the model here.

That is a "Goldilocks" build, Jorge. Just Right!

 My Grandfather had a blue 1973 Dodge Truck. I want to recreate it.

You have a good eye for detail.

 

Good Show.

Great looking tribute build! I love your detailing in the grille, it's very realistic. This is my favorite Dodge truck body style, 78-79 was a great time for all of the "Big Three" trucks.

Great looking truck.  I had an 80 and later Atwood tone green. I still miss my 77"..
