My sedond model kit (not 56K friendly)

[Shoeboy]

This is a 1992 Ford F150 style side. It took me about a month to put together, and what not. I'm happy with how it turned out. This model I decided to "kit bash" a little bit, I dropped the front and rear down. I think the next time I do that, I'll be able to do it better then how I did it this time. This is also my first time trying the two tone paint scheme.

Looks good, and probably helps with the cabin fever too.

Nice, I used to do models.... I got tired of trying to look past the glue fingerprints on all the window glass.

Nice job.

I used to put models together as a kid. Then after a while i would use them for target practice.

The only one I've seen was a 93 standard cab stx 4x4

i think they stopped making it though but that would be close enough, i used to have a first generation model of my old truck, bought it at a garage sale for $1, unbuilt but missing the tires! it was cool to have though, until my dog ruined it. my mustangs are almost way to easy to find.

Ya, that was because I had to cut the suspension to make everything lower. It was a learning experience and if I were to do it again, I'd do it differently. The rear axle I had to run threw the leaves to get the right height, and the axle's sagged when drying, and not many people will notice, so I'm just going to leave it in fears of making it worse. At least I got the front right by the "coil cutting" method of lowering the twin setup, although, I cut the tabs off that the wheels mount to and raised them up the knuckle, I obviously didn't cut straight, at least their even side to side, lol.

Side note, my current kit is a 1963 Ford "hardtop", that I'm doing pretty box stock, but I'm doing slight modifications, nothing drastic, and nothing anyone will really notice.
