1972 Ford F250

I always thought this was the best looking pickup truck Ford ever built and would look good with my other truck model. Wish I could have gotten a closer color match. I'll post again when it's finished.

Well that certainly is a bold choice of colors. Goes well with the theme of the other build.

It worked well with the Kenworth, so I thought I would build a companion. Just couldn't find a good turquoise.

This is gorgeous!! I saw many of those trucks growing up and will be following this! Are you going to do the plow as well? 

 

[Jay Lankford]

Thanks for the compliment. I am going to build the plow, but may not permanently secure it to the truck. I am putting the plow control box on the dash. Once it's assembled I'll take a look and see how everything looks and comes together. Probably go with the same orange on the plow. Thanks again for looking and commenting.

Your welcome, and awesome! I will be watching for tricks and tips for my own kit.

Tasteful and very promising, the big rig gives clean a new meaning, has it been shown before here at MCF?

My first post in this or any MCM forum was my Kenworth. First build in nearly twenty years. Got lots of likes and replies. I have another build in Dioramas of another Kenworth from 2000. I built an old 2006 issue of a AMT C 10 in exchange for the walnut base for my display case. Attached photo. This is my first post in W.I.P. My first Moebius model and first build using acrylic paint and second small truck build. This build was a test of Moebius and acrylic. Love them both. The difference between AMT and Moebius is clear as everyone here probably knows. I'm the last person to ask for tips or advice since I'm reintroducing myself to modeling and so many advances have been made in that regard. I build on my dining room table and paint in a makeshift booth in my basement. Keep watching, I'm working on it every day and appreciate all opinions, good or not.

This is where it's at now. In as much as Mobieus out does AMT, you can't display with the hood up. It's on or its off. That old AMT kit had a hinged hood. Oh well.

That's looking killer!   Such clean work!  

[Jay Lankford]

It helps to have a good kit to start with. No kit is without issues, but I'm real impressed with Mobieus so far. Nice decals for the hood and tailgate. I still can't seem to put windshields or any other windows in without somehow messing them up. Seventy year old eyes and hands aren't what they used to be. Thanks for following. 

[Jay Lankford]

Kept the interior simple. Did some work on the plow. 

[meechum68]

Simple clean interior! Love it!

That plow is amazing! Awesome work man.

[Jay Lankford]

Thank you. Finally got the windshield in. Not a great fit and a real pain to install. Only a few issues with Mobieus. The more I see the plow, the more I like it. Hopefully finished tomorrow.

Add the front bumper, attach the plow to the frame, put the chain on the plow, some finishing touches with paint and such and then it's off to Under Glass, maybe.
