1956 Ford Pickup Pro Street

[Zippi]

Finished this one up earlier this morning.  This was a fun build and the second Revell 56 pickup Pro Street I've built but this one is a bit different.  The engine came out of the AMT Hotwheels Monster Truck kit.  Wheels & tires are from Jays Resin Wheels 1948.  I airbrushed the wheels with the liquid chrome from a Molotow pen then dried in my Dehydrator to give a more Matte look.  Body paint was a custom mix of Tamiya Black Green and Black.  Paint and clear was all Tamiya products mixed 50/50 with Mr. Color Leveling Thinner.  Polishing was with Meguiar's Mirror Glaze fine-cut Cleaner and Liquid wax.  Hope you fellows like this one.  As always, comments welcome.

Beautiful looking paint work and like the unusual color. The interior color works well. Great looking engine detailing and the Pro Street setup looks good.

Thanks David.  Unusual color it is.  It was a custom mix and didn't turn out just like I wanted but I like it.

Love how the paint turned out. Completely different shades inside vs outside, gives it a killer look.

The interior colors are nice too

Good lookin’ Truck Bob!  Love the subtle dark green, looks black on the indoor pics.  Would definitely be a wicked ride in 1:1?

You are on a roll Bob. Another one out of the park! Those outdoor pics are stunning
