W150 under construction

[Diecastdeluxe]

Building a replica of the '78 W150 I used to have. Here's everything in the mockup stage right now. Notice where I moved the transfer case, now it is more like the real thing, and doesn't hang down so far.

Where did you get the W150 kit?

Looks awesome!

He didn't. He's modifying a Little Red Truck model.

Yes, a Lil Red Express kit, the box is in the pix. The kit comes as a 2 wheel drive version with a big block. (they say it's a 360 but it's not)
I used the 340 from the AMT 1971 Duster kit. The transmission, transfer case, and front axle/springs came from BNL Resins, as did the wheels. I have a wired distributor I'll be installing after I get the engine painted. I still have a lot of work to do on this one.

I think you can also get a resin SBM.

IIRC that Duster kit is about the only place to get one in styrene.

I need one for my 318 Satellite replica, if anyone has one they don't want.

I also seem to recall a long bed sweptline 4WD model...with an interesting topper.

May have come with dirt bikes.

Any progress?

 

[Diecastdeluxe]

I've done more, but I have to take some more pictures.

Please do!

Any pictures of progress yet?

Me too.

I love building models of real cars.

Fortunately I found a resin flat hood for my 73 Satellite (from the Daisy Duke kit).

I did an 86 T top Daytona back in the 90's.
That was REAL fun, making the plastic trim parts that cover where the sedan style door pillars got cut.

I had a 73 Duster, painted and detailed like mine- complete with "factory" Demon hood made from a 64 SS scoop.

I was also working on two different 70 Super Bees- one "as found" with primer, rust, and peeling vinyl top, and another "restored".

I started modifying a 66 Charger into a 67 Coronet, before the correct model came out. I actually did a decent job on the rear wheel sheet metal, and grafting on a 67 GTX roof. was working on the tail lights when the 67 Coronet R/T came out. Actually, I like my grille better

I'd love to find this truck in a model. Its not been made in a few years from the days of AMT-Ertl.....

I wonder if Round 2 plans to bring it back from the vaults.....

I see them on ebay quite often.
