Whilst I was at Autosport Internation in the UK yesterday
walking around I spotted this F-150 and the other half was very suprised
that I knew what it was as they are very very rare in the UK
Thanks to P-Man I now know.

A can will last me about 3 or 4 cars depending on how many coats of paint.

I can`t believe this! I always use atleast an entire can of Tamiya paints on one model, sometimes 2 or 3 (like on my friggin 360 model ). On the Corvette I`m doing, I am going on can number 5, but it is a 1/12 scale car, and I want it thick enough to wetsand and rub out.

I just noticed that one of the staff at my school drives a Lightning. A very slick truck.

Update
Got more of it detailed over the last few days. This kit seems to be taking me forever due to getting to darn fussy with it.

After the first lot of pics i wasn't happy with the finish in places, so it was sanded and primed again before being repainted.
Once it was resprayed it was baked to harden the paint.

Next was the masking of all the bumpers, side steps and tray. Once they were masked and sprayed in black it was then left before finishing of with my Gundammarker pen to get all the lines etc looking good.

I'm now more then happy with the way its turning out. The grill is all done and bare-metal-foil has been added for the backing of the lights.
Still alot more detail to go yet to finish off, but heres a few more pics of progress.
Hopefully be finished in the next few weeks all going well.

Its just the angle of the camera....they are both the same size.
The wheels do look small but they are the same size as some aftermarket 18's you can buy....its mainly due to having such a huge truck sitting on top that's hard to get used to (well it is for me anyway !!!)
