AMT 1972 Chevrolet C10 Pickup

[Jim B]

Here is my competed AMT 1972 Chevrolet C10 fleetside pickup.  This is the Coca-Cola kit that is molded in the Dreaded Red Plastic:

The kit had the typical AMT fit quality, so I'll leave that at that.  Thanks to tbill for the exterior orange & white painting. 

 

It's not perfect, but it's done; and I'm moderately pleased with the results.  Yes, the trim could be better, and the bowtie on the grill is a little lopsided; but it'll look file on the shelf.  I did add some spacers under the bed to raise it up a little as it had a little bit of a "droopy drawers" look to it.  I don't know if it right, but it's straighter that it was.

Beautiful Chevy!  Great color choice..

Great 2-tone job. Very nice colors help make this such a sharp model.

Just because I owned a '69 and built a tribute, and currently own a '68, of course I like it!  The important thing, you finished it, and didn't get bogged down correcting kit inaccuracies.  

[Jim B]

Thanks, guys.  I appreciate the positive comments.  I can't take full credit for the color choices.  That was mostly Tom.

Very sharp looking truck.

[Jim B]

Thanks, David.

Great looking color combo and the interior is a nice contrast. 

[Jim B]

Thanks, David.

Still on my to-do list. Did it include the Coke-can beverage machine ?

[Jim B]

Yes, it did, Hans. I think Round2 shoving the Coke machine into the box with the truck caused my steering wheel to be mangled. So, I requested a new steering wheel from Round2, and when it arrived it was just an mangled (if not worse) than the one in the kit!

Looks like teamwork produced a very nice looking model.

[ChrisR]

Nice!

[Jim B]

Thanks, Guys.

Sometimes that's the only way to go, Tony.

"Typical AMT fit". You could have just said "absolutely nothing fits". ?

Nice result on a notoriously janky kit. 

[Jim B]

Thanks, Chuck.  Yes, the fit was pretty bad, and the red plastic didn't help may attitude with this kit, either.

Great color choice on the two-tone! I really like the wood-grain accents.
