I'm not a huge fan of the super duty trucks, but this kit is amazing! Great work so far!

[crazyrichard]

whouw awsome kit !!

[Casey429]

As the owner of a 1:1 6.4L Power Stroke Super Duty, I must say the engine is dead on. It's all there, both EGR coolers, VGT controller, fuel cooler, filters, oil fill, all of it. Nicely done.

When I have the money, I'm buying one, ugly or not. This effort deserves the support.

I guess I should update, and if I hadnt been screwing around, I probably could of almost finished this one up a few days ago, but no, so what I have done so far, well, lets take a looks see shall we

painted the engine are black, primer in the interior are, and you can see that all the sink marks are on the inside


painted the fan , and installed

started work on the interior

I did not upload the pic, but I put a piece of sheet plastic behind the compartments on the door panels

and a few shots of the seats in color


And finally decided on a color, one of things that has been slowing me down, yes, boring white .

Its getting closer to being done! Looking great, can we expect it to be done by the weekend?

looking good, Jonathan

needs a coffee mug in one of those cupholders

Got mine on Monday. Thought I saw some flash on the bottom of the bed sides... it's stamping detail like on the 1:1. Amazing.

Such a nice kit! Can't wait to get started on it...

Jonathan, your's is looking good. I've seen a bunch of 1:1s online in white that I like. Are you doing the beltline/wheel arches in another color (tan, gray)?

[SlotDaddy1963]

just a quick question... does this beast have the step-up and grab handle molded into the inner tailgate or are they separate pieces?

just looking at a buddy's 1:1 yesterday and got a bit curious

[martinfan5]

Chuck, it just has the handle, no steps

Matt, plain white

I was hoping to of had this one finished last night, but the hobby gods decided they didnt like that idea, I found the major flaw in this kit, when you put the side window pieces in, the cab will not sit correct over the interior , it all has to do with the side window pieces, with out those in place, the body fits perfect , so in the process of trying to figured out what was going on , I chipped a good size piece of paint off , down to the bare plastic , so I am trying to strip the cab so I can repaint it.

[SlotDaddy1963]

oh no! I was looking forward to this one going under glass... looks to be a hell of a kit.

You gonna try brake fluid or what?

I used Tamiya paint, so I am trying alcohol right now, but its not doing a whole lot

[SlotDaddy1963]

Purple Power I think, works well on acrylics... but I've been wrong before, Just ask the wife

Tamiya sprays are a synthetic lacquer

What a bummer it was nice looking paint but thanks for the info on things to look out for. I thank you for sharing as this is a kit I plan to build. Someday- with the rest of the someday.

[66belair]

That is some nice work! That kit looks a amazing,definitely going to have to spend the money on few of these. I work on these for a living and it looks pretty accurate. Can't wait to see it finished.

[martinfan5]

Cab has been repainted, I should hopefully get this one finished soon, well, going for attempt number two

[kilrathy10]

Man, I can't wait to get me a few of these.....Thanks for posting this build.....Looks awesome.....

[keone2013]

Did you use the stock tires? I scrapped mine and used a set from a jeep rubicon kit

[crazyrichard]

not real boring imo in white , with black details it will really pop

[martinfan5]

I am not sure if I am ever going to get this one finished, got the body repainted, got the trim repainted, and of course, this time, removing the tape after doing the trim, pulled up some paint/primer , right about the drivers side door, trying to fix it, but its not going so well, so I am thinking about my options, I can try and strip it again, or I can grab the cab from the second kit and paint that one, either way , I am still going to have to repaint and strip at this point I , buy more white paint.

[Guest]

If you cut the tape around the trim with your Xacto blade, that's probably why the paint peeled off. That's the only time I ever have a problem with paint pulling up with tape is when I have cut on the tape.
