Chuck Most Posted December 28, 2022 Posted December 28, 2022 This is the new Moebius 1972 kit. I only have 2 issues with the kit. It has a 1971 grille and the front and rear driveshaft part numbers are switched on the destruction sheet. Moebius is aware of both issues so that can be addressed on the next run. Test fitting revealed the driveshaft callout mishap and since I was going to use a 1970 grille the kit may as well have not included one to begin with. ? Anyway. Mine has the aforementioned 1970 grille, along with the additions of an AMT light bar, MPC Datsun monster truck wrecker boom, Olson Brothers tool boxes, Gofer Racing door graphics, and a smattering of parts box doodads. The snow is actual snow and the wind quite brisk so I apologize if the photos look a bit rushed. ? Naturally the truck was weathered and distressed to the point of ridiculousness because a 1970 F250 used as a plow truck in Michigan probably would have looked something like this by 1975. Might do the next one as a showroom fresh example but this was a fairly fun project. 13
TarheelRick Posted December 28, 2022 Posted December 28, 2022 Beautiful work, whole lot of body rot. Pictures look good to me. Very nice build, I like it.
stavanzer Posted December 28, 2022 Posted December 28, 2022 Looks like the "Iron Moths" been at the sheet metal. Musta been Yoopers, driving it! Was this truck used in the U.P.?
espo Posted December 28, 2022 Posted December 28, 2022 Great realistic looking finishes. They say that "Rust never sleeps" and this is a good example.
ewetwo Posted December 28, 2022 Posted December 28, 2022 Really nice. The weathering looks spot on for those truck. Nice build.
leafsprings Posted December 29, 2022 Posted December 29, 2022 Very nice weathering and rotting job on the heavy duty workhorse. The 4x4 F 250 is IMO, the pinnacle of the Moebius series.
bogger44 Posted December 29, 2022 Posted December 29, 2022 Impressive work as always Chuck, another fabulous creation.
slusher Posted December 30, 2022 Posted December 30, 2022 Chuck did you use a dremel to make the rusted area around the rear wheels?

bill lanfear Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Great job on this Chuck, you nailed every detail to make a realistic work horse!
Dennis Lacy Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 You just have a way of kit bashing and weathering trucks that make them immediately recognizable as yours. These are subjects I’d ordinarily pass right by but when I see your name under the subject I always take a look.
NOBLNG Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 Yes, they have a touch of realism that most don’t. Really well done!?
vincen47 Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 Excellent weathering. Looks like a Michigan truck, for sure. Love the fender rust.
