1979 Ford 4x4 Pickup

[Moparlady]

I finished this one about a month ago. Built from the new Model King release. A few little modifications but otherwise box stock.

I opened up grille area and installed mesh screen for a bit more realism.

Also some Detail Master headlight screens. The engine isn't all that detailed but I added some ignition wiring and battery cables (just had to!).

Bare metal foil chrome and black chrome foil side trim.

I robbed the stock hubcaps from another kit and made some front hubs thru the caps.

Then some light weathering all around. I made some license plates for it too....Idaho "Big Spud".

Thanks for looking.

The light weathering is perfect. You knew exactly when to say when! Very nice. I just purchased that kit, and I'm trying to decide which direction to go with it. I'm thinking of shortening the wheelbase.

I like your work too!!! Looks very realistic!!! I have been looking for a kit like that for years with still no luck. If anyone has one of these they would like to part with, Please, PM me!!!!!!

Thanks for the comments guys! This kit was recently issued by AMT/Model King, so it should still be easily available if anyone's looking to build one.
