slusher Posted February 20, 2015 Author Posted February 20, 2015 That looks very good, is the kit more detailed than the promo version? Nice build. I wish there were some early Ranger kits out there (83-85). I have a built up 1:1 Ranger that I would love to build a model of. May have to try out my styrene skills one of these days. Thanks Gaute and S.M. for your positive comments..
JordanFordF1 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Aw the Ranger, my favorite truck of all time. I currently own three 1:1. Great looking build.
Atmobil Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 I Really wish I could answer that but I don't know anything about the promo version. This is a really good kit. The front I beams and front suspenstion is a little tricky but a real good kit and nice 2.4 cyl engine. Thanks for your comment... Well, if it has an engine then it must be more detailed than the promo. I got a promo of the 94 and it has an all-molded-in chassis, metalaxels, snapped-in-place taillights, no engine (bonnet is molded shut) and snapped-in-place mirrors that seem to be made of rubber. It also has a singlepiece grille with molded in headlamps. Got stickers instead of decals for emblems.
rsxse240 Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Glad to see this. I too am a fan of the ford ranger. No one ever builds them. Great job too. I hope your build inspires more mini truck builds. I may break out my old King cab project.
slusher Posted February 21, 2015 Author Posted February 21, 2015 That looks pretty good Carl. Nice touch with the Banshee in the back. Thanks Clayton yup, i agree, nice paint Carl also like the quad in back! Thanks you Dan...
slusher Posted February 21, 2015 Author Posted February 21, 2015 Looks Good Carl... I like it. Thanks a bunch Andre.. Aw the Ranger, my favorite truck of all time. I currently own three 1:1. Great looking build. Thanks Rusty, i built this one like my 1;1 i owned great trucks...

Thanks Ken, i have built 2 Rangers and AMT did a great job on this one and the splash kit. i really enjoyed both builds...
slusher Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 Great build! I really like it! This is a quad in the rear of the truck? Is 1/25? Thank you Jose. Carl, that looks great. Great paint. Thank you very much Oscar
slusher Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 Great build. The quad looks perfect in the back. Thanks Terry for the compliment..
slusher Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 Very cool. I'm working on one of these kits right now. Thanks Chuck.. Carl, that looks really great. You laid down a nice, smooth and glossy paint job. Thanks for the compliment Rich...
slusher Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 Real nice work on the Ranger Carl. Nice neat and clean as per usual with your builds! Thanks Donald for the comment Nice. Thanks Dan..
slusher Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 Thanks Carl. It's seemes tyo me more a 1/25 than 1/32. Really nice combo! Thanks Jose truck looks great Thanks Darrin
bogger44 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Another nice, clean build Carl! You don't see these built too often. I gotta agree with the others, that quad is a perfect size and looks great in the bed. I own a Ranger too (daily driver), a 2002 extended cab 4x4 that I've racked up nearly 130,000 miles on (157,000 total on truck) with very little problems. They are/were great little trucks.
slusher Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Thank so much Tony for the comments...
Platerpants Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Nice work we need to see more rangers here
BirdWatcher Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 It's a shame Ford discontinued the Ranger. I manage a fleet of Rangers and they've grown on me over the years. One thing caught my eye right away, seat color looks right on. My fleet runs steel rims, but I have one with the aluminum rims like yours, it's my favorite. Nice paint work Carl.

My fleet runs steel rims, but I have one with the aluminum rims like yours, it's my favorite. Nice paint work Carl. Thanks Buzz. I owned a 82 Ford full size and a 94 Ranger never any trouble and great driving trucks. Had 2 Dodges 77 and a 80 also great but the fords drove much better...
1930fordpickup Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 This is a good looking truck Carl. Did this give you any fits going together?
slusher Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 This is a good looking truck Carl. Did this give you any fits going together? Thanks Andy, no a really good kit and fun to build. One of the best Amt kits around....
