i tried pulling up google images of these trucks to get some ideas for the paint schemes, and i decided to go with a craft color called ‘true blue’ by americana. while reading some of the info that accompanied the images, i also read that ford generally left the fenders black when colors were used on the body. has anyone else seen this?

Great info…most likely any other colors would be painted by a business to their choice

i put my tt together last week as some type of service truck, and i don’t think it turned out too bad. i intend to put it in the truck repair diorama in for service. i tapped my stripwood stash to build up the sides and added a plywood bulkhead against the back of the cab.

Very nice job Kevin. I like the color you chose. I also like the cargo load; very realistic.
