First Pics Of The F-150
Here's the first couple of pic of the next project.
This pic shows just the engine parts !!. More parts here then in my last 2 kits !!!..lol Have spent just on 2 days to get this far. Most of the parts are carring alot of extra "flash" from the molding, so ive spent many a long hour sanding off seem lines and filling with putty to get just this far. The fan alone took just over an hour to sand and get right. This is one reason i like building a Tamiya kit !!! Trouble is i get to fussy when i build these kits....it has to be just perfect or i get pissed off with it.  This shows the underneath parts. This is about half finished. Just getting the diff sitting in and lined up. More sanding etc....lol. Quite heavy in the molding lines, but getting there slowly.  Last pic shows the finished seats and dash. The seat and dash are both molded in two bits and dont line up at all when glued together. Both parts have had putty added to gaps etc and sanded back out smooth. I'm enjoying the challenge of a revell kit again. The quality is not as good as a Tamiya etc, but theres no doubting there detail. With a bit of time like im spending it SHOULD(hopefully) turn out just as good. Updates will follow as painting and the build takes place. Have yet to make up my mine as to how i'll build it. Probably just build it stock or lower it a bit with aftermarket wheels. Not really the kit that IMO that will suit a real slammed look...but we well see what happens

The quality is nothing like the ones made in japan huh? Does your cab and bed line up nicely? Mines was a little twisted. Just figure I let you know about it ahead of time. Can't wait to see the progress on this one. And yes lower it with big rims.

I'm sure the end product will be mighty fine as usual.

I will certainly be keeping an eye on the progress of this one. What are the plans colour wise? A fully wired engine too perhaps?

Totally hear you on the excessive flashing... On an old corvette gasser I had sitting around, the stuff could be pulled off in 1-2" flakes. The excess was found on almost every single part on every tree, too! I didn't have enough patience for that--it would have probably taken weeks alone to get that crap off. Methinks it will become a donor kit for various other projects running around in my head :\
Good luck on the truck!

That's a good idea with the cutting of the trees so you can hold the parts to paint! Can't wait to see what magic you do with the body.
