Jared Roach Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Been awhile since I finished a build lol. After almost six months and a few set backs I can call this one finished. I added quite a few extra details and parts to this one. Here's a list: - Fireball models resin wheels/tires - scratch built floor pan - removed the moulded hood hinges and installed earth magnets to hold the hood - filled firewall holes - added part box heater box, brake master, heater hoses and a few other engine details. - plug wires and photo etch battery cables - photo etch seat belts and stock steering wheel from a 68 nova - Flocked and detailed floor and door panels - aluminum exhaust tips. - mpc k5 blazer mirrors I'm probably forgetting some stuff but here it is. After having to move during this build and the paint set backs I'm very happy with the way it came out. Now back to some more basic builds lol. #1of 2021 is done. Thanks for looking!
Kromolly Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Wow, that is fantastic. Your move and other challenges sure didn't prevent you from building a beautiful model. The paint and details are excellent. Very impressive.
youpey Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 i really like this. which orange color is this? is it a spray can?
larman Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Tremendous build! Great color and the use of the aftermarket wheels and tires really make a difference!
mikemodeler Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 That is a really sharp build- excellent clean details and looks spot on. I have those wheels and tires from Fireball to use myself, you have given me some inspiration. Nice job!
TarheelRick Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Looks like a dealership brochure; very nice, clean build.

espo Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Beautifully built. The stripe decals from the kit look just like the original and the Fireball wheels look just like the ones that were on the 1:1 4 x4's Sport Trucks option. The interior and all the little details like your tail lights and mirrors look just like the 1:1.
Shardik Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) That is just stunning. Flawless paint, cleanly built and nice detail work. Nothing over the top, just everything done right. Edited March 22, 2021 by Shardik
iamsuperdan Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 That looks excellent! Upgrading those wheels made a huge difference. I think I'll need to order a set for mine.
Venom Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 That truck looks super in orange with the white accents! ...engine bay is beautiful ... Very good, clean model building!
Oldcarfan27 Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Wow! That's the best detail I've ever seen of this kit. Now I've got to build one!
Bainford Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Wow! That’s the best build I’ve seen of any Revell Chevy pickup. Beautiful work.
Plowboy Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 Nice looking Chevy truck! Are the interior decals from the kit? They make a huge difference!
