1950 Ford Pickup

Got her finished to-day.

Nice kit and apart from a badly warped chassis, no particular problems.

OH YES!!!!!!!!!!! Love the paint and the Ardun headed flathead.

Real sweet truck! Still love the paint scheme and colours!

Hi Skid,

This is a great looker, I do like the green, may I ask what you used for the bed please...

Andy...(off to look for the build thread )

Thanks Andy.

The bed was simply sprayed with Humbrol Matt 85 (A flat tan colour) then dry brushed with a couple of other browns for the wood grain effect. Finaly, the metal strips were done with BMF.

It certainly had me fooled, I thought it was some balsa wood or lolly sticks, as for the BMF stuff, it's like most other things I have yet to try it out...

Outstanding build! I love the color combo

Skid: Great job. Just what I would expect from you. The only nit I have to pick is where are the outside mirrors. I'm usually the one that leaves them off, not you.

Lovely build Al, really striking model.

Now that's sharp!! Love it!!

Very original paint design. At first it looked a bit like "scallops," the saw it was totally different. Rear bed wood did look real. Metal rub strips there are always a problem. To paint silver, black, steel or to foil, it's a frustrating decision.

Beautiful pickup!
