rmvw guy Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Nice truck! The flames work really well on that yellow paint. I love the wheel choice also. Great job.

Kustom Steve Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Great back story, always interested in hearing what motivates a modeler during the building process. Glad to see you built it just like the box with a very clean build style.
o-man Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 I love the black on the engine. Great overall
Speedfreak Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Adam, that is outstanding my friend, I can see why you're so excited about it, love that yellow, beautiful work!
donb Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 It all fits so well. The paint, decals, chrome and the little details. Well done!
DeeCee Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Nice clean build, love those door decals too.
A.R.C. Posted December 22, 2014 Author Posted December 22, 2014 Thanks for all the comliments everyone! For being a 37 year old kit the old girl went together pretty good. Monogram really nailed it when they made this kit. I believe this is also the first release of Monograms 55 F-100. The decals have always been my favorite part of this model DeeCee. I still remember opening my first kit back in 77 and seeing those flames and door decals and thinking those were the coolest decals I had ever seen ( still are). I couldnt get them on fast enough.
Tonioseven Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Super-terrific build!! I like the story behind it also.
