chuckyr Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 I'll be glad when Moebius releases this pick-up car so they can get on with releasing real trucks.

These aint no dang el caminos they are workhorses what you are refering to as a real truck is a semi truck or tractor. Trucks are trucks regardless of how small. seperate Cab frame and towing ability are what a truck is.
mikemodeler Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Got an email from Spotlight Hobbies that they've just shipped my MK '69 4X4 F100's--now how do I get any sleep? Art I got a message from Modelroundup that my Model King '69 F100's had shipped, had no idea that they were 4wd? Art, do you know something we don't?
kilrathy10 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 They're here..... http://www.megahobby.com has them.....$28 and some change....
Matt T. Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 ...had no idea that they were 4wd? Art, do you know something we don't? The fact that we haven't seen the sprues from the Model King kit so far, plus Art not responding, gives me hope of a 4x4 option!
Brett Barrow Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Nope the Model King version is 2wd. I'm holding one in my hands as I type this. Actually I'm cradling it in my arms like a newborn child..... There was talk of a 4x4 during development of this series so I would not be at all surprised to see one down the road.

chuckyr Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 They are out now! Art Great! Now for a spread axle, aluminum flatbed semi trailer and an International Workstar!
chunkypeanutbutter Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Well, I guess next time you need a couch or something moved, you'll get a full big rig with a flatbed to move it, not one of those useless pickup trucks.

AzTom Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 I got a tracking number from Mega Hobby for the 71 and the MK 69.
mikemodeler Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 My Model King '69's will be here tomorrow (yes, I bought 2, for now!) Can't wait to get this kit and getting started on it.
DaveM Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 I have just gone through the listing of 1971 Ford Truck Colors. I was looking for paints I could get to match some of the truck colors. Since I am going to put in an order with Scale Finishes, I dug through Paintref and matched up the color codes to see how many of the truck colors matched passenger car colors and then checked to see which ones I could grab from The Scale finishes Website. Many times, colors are used on cars for a few years, then discontinued and relegated to trucks for another couple of years. Other times the truck and car years line up for a certain color. This is not a perfect list. I believe I have the codes matched up so that the colors are the same. (Sometimes names get reused with decidedly different shades, so I used the 4 and 5 digit paintref codes, but these all match the DuPont or Martin Seymour codes too) The Ford Truck paint name is listed first, then the listing where I found the paint on Scale Finishes' website. Then some random notes may be mentioned. I did not check MCW, but some of the information could be used to cross reference the colors there too. They may be listed in other places, as many were used several years, and the Mustang colors may be listed under Ford too, but this is where I found them, and rechecked the codes with Paintref. Calypso Coral 1970 Mustang 1 Calypso Coral Diamond Blue 1968 Mustang N Diamond Blue Royal Maroon 1972 Mustang 2J Maroon (Also used on 1969 trucks) Prarie Yellow 1971 Mustang E Medium Yellow Gold Medium Brown 1971 Mustang 5 Medium Brown Lime Gold 1969 Mustang I Lime Gold Metallic Rangoon Red 1965 Ford J Rangoon Red Winter Blue 1969 Mustang P Winter Blue Metallic Scandia Green 1971 Mustang P Medium Green Empire Yellow 1969 Ford 9 Yellow (Appears to be the same as Grabber Yellow) Candy Apple Red 1969 Mustang T Candyapple Red Grabber Green 1971 Mustang Z Grabber Green Wimbledon White 1971 Mustang M Wimbledon White Raven Black 1971 Mustang A Raven Black Obviously Raven Black and Wimbledon White are everywhere in the Ford Color Catalog Swiss Aqua, Regis Red, Chrome Yellow, Mojave Tan, Holly Green, Boxwood Green, Baja Beige, Mallard Green, Reef Aqua, Light Ginger and Saddle Tan seem to be used exclusively on trucks, so I can't reference them to a passenger car color. Bahama blue looks like it was a 1972 passenger car color Harbor Blue looks like the same 4 digit code was used on 1982, 1983 and 1988 Mustangs as Medium Blue, but none of them show up with the right letter code on Scale Finishes, site, so I need to dig into that a bit more. It's a nice color, though! Fiesta Tan was on trucks only, and was also used in 1969 as Tuscon Gold Ski View Blue was used on Lincolns and Thunderbirds in 1970 as Light Blue, but Scalefinishes doesn't list Ford colors past 1969 (Except Mustangs) (And was also a 1969 Truck Color) Astra Blue was Deep Blue on 1970 and 1971 Lincolns and Thunderbirds Seafoam Green was on 1971 Fords, Mercury, Lincoln and Thunderbirds as H Light Green (Truck code was "0") Pure White was the same as 1964 Pace Car White, as far as I can tell. (Although I had always thought the pace cars were Wimbledon White) I haven't dug through Scalefinishes' outlet page or MCW for these colors yet, as this has already eaten up a couple of hours. If this post is too long, too off topic, or bothers anybody at Scalefinishes, feel free to remove it. I will be making a similar list for the 1969 Ford Truck colors, and I can post that here too, if it is helpful to anybody.
Mike Chernecki Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 If you need any of the Truck only colors from Scale Finishes, just email Jameston and he can mix the colors you need. Don't assume that the colors listed on his site are the only colors he can mix.
