Bruce Poage Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 The next kit on the bench will be the Revell '55 Ford Panel. I know very little about 1:1 engines. I would like to detail this correctly. If you are familiar with this kit can you tell me what the engine is. Thanks.
Eric Stone Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Got a pic? Could probably ID it for you, but I don't have the kit to look at.

Bruce Poage Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 That's it. Thanks for the reply and pictures. Your rendition is looking good. Any cautions I need to have before getting in to this project. Thanks again.
MikeMc Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Good kit..same as the '55 pickup..different body...This was the first kit I built when I got back into modeling....painted in enamels
Chuck Most Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Only thing I'd watch out for on this kit (and the pickup version) is to be carful not to gunk up the hood hinge with paint or glue. Other than that, it's a pretty forgiving kit.
RickRollerLT1 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 The 289 engines are a little different from the Pick-Up (newer issues) and Panel van kits. The Panel van (all issues including the latest Harley Davidson release)has a Tri-Carb setup and side pipes, while the Pick-up used the same parts until the 1993 and later issues, which uses a "5.0" EFI setup with a normal dual exhaust setup, new tires and wheels, and etc. (they also have some of the left-over tri-carb parts in 'em too!). Hope this helps, V
