OldCountry Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 This is my first big truck build. Everything went together pretty easy except the mirrors. The mold pin marks on the mirrors was pretty bad too. I weathered the engine just a little, seat belts, and some bmf. I don't have a picture of the finished engine. I'm dummy. I tried straight pins for the levers on the steering column. That's a first for that. And put some epoxy over the gauge faces. It's only my third model I've built so far. I did enjoy it and hope everybody enjoys the pictures.
Petetrucker07 Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Nicely done, and it's only your 3rd model! Wow. Looks good. I've got one of these in the stash, wish j woulda picked up more when Hooby Lobby had them on the shelves. But, this looks great. The mirrors on most of these AMT truck kits are a real PITA, don't feel bad. I like the straight pins on the column.
signguy2108 Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Good looking truck, came out very well.
gatorincebu Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Looks real good from where I sit. You laid down a really smooth paint job ! Well done. Be Well Gator
kilrathy10 Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 This is a great looking model.....Especially for it being only your third model.....It's quite good.....Great detail on your interior.....Excellent work....Hobby Lobby is getting rid of these things around here.....I'm going to have to snag a couple more before the week is up....
OldCountry Posted September 7, 2016 Author Posted September 7, 2016 Thanks a lot. It takes a lot of time trying to put a lot of detail in it but the end result is amazing.
Chariots of Fire Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 That's a pretty nice paint job. What color and brand is it?
OldCountry Posted September 14, 2016 Author Posted September 14, 2016 It's just regular small jar Testors red. No clear coat or anything. Did polish a little bit with novus
Chuck Mols Posted November 5, 2016 Posted November 5, 2016 Great looking build, I like the color choice. 3rd ever build? Keep up the great work.
tbill Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 wow, great looking build, the small details make it, excellent job.
