Chuck Most Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 This is about as close to box-stock as I've gotten on one of these kits in a while. It was fitted with a straight six, a Revell snow plow, and tires from the Revell first-gen Bronco. Aside from that it was heavily weathered and damaged to represent a well-used old landscaping and plow truck.
bill lanfear Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 Looks great! Love the battered look and the tires were a great choice!
mikemodeler Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 Glad to see you back at it and nice job on the weathering!
heyjohnxx Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Hi Chuck Nice job on this one (and the rest too!). I'm building this one also and I've got a couple of questions. One, did you take the lower body trim off and was there any problem with the thinness of the plastic? Two, any problems fitting the six in there? I'd rather do that for a base truck. Thanks

The only problem with the six in the 4x4 chassis is that it sits up a bit high- notching the oil pan may cure that.
bbowser Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 You nailed it! Perfect example of a beat plow truck as seen everywhere around here!
Matt T. Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Very cool! Inspired choice on the tires. I’ve always liked their look, but never bought that kit. Knowing they fit the Moebius wheels, I’m off to Michael’s to grab a 40%-off Bronco kit!
heyjohnxx Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 The Bronco tires need to be stretched onto the Moebius rims. That was my first thought before I got the T12 tires from Scenes Unlimited. I like skinny old school tires.
Cpt Tuttle Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Seems realistic and convincing to me, thumbs up.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted July 6, 2019 Posted July 6, 2019 Excellent build!! The weathering is great as usual!!
