RandyB. Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) I just finished my third pickup truck ever. I needed a Ford truck in the mix. I painted this model in Tamiya "Dark Yellow" which really doesn't look yellow with a coat of "wet look" gloss clearcoat. I didn't like the idea of not having chrome bumpers so I applied BMF on front and back bumpers. Stock side mirrors were not included in the kit so I used the ones for the service vehicle option. Engine was painted in Model Master "Ford Engine Red" enamel brush paint. Have a look and thanks for checking her out. Edited December 15, 2012 by RandyB.

Scalper Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I like it...The only thing that makes this look like a model is the mirrors...the sink marks.. but I have an ideal you cant paint the marks amber. would look like reflectors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyB. Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 I like it...The only thing that makes this look like a model is the mirrors...the sink marks.. but I have an ideal you cant paint the marks amber. would look like reflectors Thanks everyone for all of these great comments. I wasn't sure at first if I liked the way the model turned out. Andre...thanks for the tip regarding the mirrors. I got looking at this closer and they are not sink marks but rather raised circles which I am thinking are suppose to be reflectors. With having said that I have gone ahead and painted them amber.
