AMT 1979 Ford F150 Pickup Truck Model Kit

 

ford 1979 f150

 

An AMT Ford F-series 1979 Pickup truck kit.

This is built from the recent reissue by Model King.

I opened up the grille with a dremel and hobby knife. I changed the engine to a Boss 429 (out of a Polar Lights Mercury Cyclone Nascar kit).

I made rear torque bars for the axle. (Don't want that 429 to break anything back there).

The tires and wheels are stock with the kit. The kit has the parts to be built either as a 2WD or 4WD truck. The tarp is included with the kit, as well as a roll bar and a push bar for the bumper.

Overall for it's age, this is a pretty good kit. There are some details left out (no inside rear view mirror or brake master cylinder) but these are minor and easily corrected with pieces from a modeler's parts box.

 

AMT 1978 Ford F150

 

1978 f150 ford pickup truck

 

An AMT Ford F150 1978 Pickup truck kit. The body I restored from a built up kit. The frame, windows, and parts of the interior are from a 1990's style truck. The toolbox is from Scale Equipment Limited.


This kit is to replicate my own truck I used to have. It is painted Testors light Blue, and in fact, is a lot like my truck as far as accuracy.

This is a limited release kit. It includes a bed cover, roll bar, and brush guard. The decal sheet includes the emblems for the cowl, side marker lights / reflectors, hood, and tailgate.

I especially like the box art and photos, which are all around the box. very well done.
