MPC "Deserter" Pickup

MPC, a reissue I assume. Old kit, the underside parts are pretty crude, ditto most of the accessories.
Perfect painting weather today, so the Chevette, the Olds Aurora, the Suburban roof and this all got their moment in the sun and under the rattle can.

The red is straight from the can, about 2 hrs old. Very happy so far. Interior is Tamiya Deck Tan.
I've added the indicator stalk, column shifter, and pedals as well as the ign key bump on the column. Under the bonnet, parts bin raided for the extractors (headers), ditto for the 4 bbl carb & air cleaner. Plumbing and wiring to come. Pics of the engine later on.

Very nice paintwork, both inside and out.

Nice.

Paint does look good. Keep us posted.

Nice looking interior and paint.

Great start! Both the body and interior look very nice.

Body is the BMF/ Molotov shop, once the chrome has dried I'll get back to it.
The chassis is progressing nicely. Exhaust is next, and I hope to have it done by this weekend.
Weather has been wet, wet, wet. So I'm glad I had the paint fest a week ago!

You are correct webby, it is a repop. One of the versions was the Fall Guy truck from the TV series, staring Lee Majors.

Looking good. Alway nice to see when a builder takes the time to add in the plug wires.

Today's update. Cab on and the exhaust finished. I'm waiting on better weather for a repaint on the tray. Some under bonnet touch ups, booster & heater hoses and we're done there. I should have the front bumper, brush guard and winch on soon.

looks great Chris

Looking good Chris.

Great stuff.

Awesome.

Repainted the tray yesterday, not happy with it so back to the sanding pond. Again.

Oh man I feel your pain. I have had too much experience with stripping shells.

Looking good mate

Excellent work!

WOW..! Stunning work..! The paint is beautiful...interior is very very nicely done too...shes going to be a real beauty. I have the same kit but want to make mine a long bed Chevy one.

Fine work. Ilike the engine compartment and especially the battery paint.

Nearly there! Mirrors, decals and some hoses to come. Hopefully done before Friday. Sorry about the lousy pic, better ones to come.

Coming along nicely.

Looking great Chris.
