Chuck Most Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Can't go wrong with a first-gen Effie, especially this nice! Not to wild about the color, but on this one, with the scallops, it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldscool Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 Realy nice period look . Are those the scallops from the Revellogram '58 Thunderbird? These scallops are included in the kit Harold and getting them on was like picking fly poop out of pepper:P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldscool Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 Great build I love those old trucks! Thanks and I love the old trucks too. This body style just seems to have a "pulled together" look that other trucks of the era don't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modellpularn Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I think it's perfect! The color, scallops, Moon discs. I liked it right away, and your choice to go with the Moon discs was the right one. Cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I like those Full Moons too, this Pickup looks very good also. Colour is perfect, and that paintjob looks awesome. Have you painted those scalloops...? Engine looks good too, flathead is just perfect choice to this one and white wall tires are looking good too. Thank you for sharing!

oldscool Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 Now that is cool Gerald.I know what you mean about the decals,lot's of patience putting them on.I don't recall reading what the color is on the truck,can you enlighten me on that ? Did the discs fit on the truck kits rims or did you have to use the rims and tires from the AMT kit. Sure George. The color is good old Testors spray can Copper enamel that has been around as long as I can remember. The moons were literally a snap fit in the kit wheels with no mods at all. The tires are also OOB. Thanks for the response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
