chadrob30 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Here is my WIP Meng F350. I cut 3/4" out of the frame, bed, driveshaft, fuel tank, and exhaust. It is just pieced together in these pics....this is a great kit. I highly recommend it. The wheels and tires are Aoshima. Paint is Duplicolor Cherry Red metallic. I will post finished pics in the Under Glass forum when it is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playzwtrux Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Looks really good. I like the short wheel base over the long one. the short is more representative of what I see on the streets here too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 It is more representative of what you normally see, but I think I'd be a little apprehensive to take a razor saw to a $75 model kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chadrob30 Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Yes, it was a bit frightening, lol. My wife looked up the dimensions of the 1:1 trucks, both long bed, and short. Then we did the scale conversion and the best we could come up with was roughly 3/4" of cutting. It all actually went very smooth except for the frame "rejoining". I didn't reinforce it good enough and after about 12 hours of it sitting on it's tires the frame started to buckle where I cut. I had to put some plastic inside the frame rails to "box" the cut area. After that it was all good. Great kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooltas Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 just thinking of it dose to mine ouchy 75 .00 that's like three revel's f250 kits for that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadrob30 Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 And this kit is 3x the kit that the Revell's are, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Tillotson Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I love it! I plan on doing the same thing to replicate my 2012. Finishing up my first one right now before I realized it was a long bed. I guess the excitement clouded my vision! Got four more and they will all be done this way!

L1nds37 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Fantastic build i love the american pickups especially the f350.. one question, the wheels and tyres, are they from the Aoshima Hilux Lift up?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadrob30 Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Thanks Lindsay. The are from an Aoshima kit, but not the Hilux. They are from the Toyota 4Runner. They MAY be the same as the Hilux though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
