1965 Ford F-100 Service Truck

[JeroenS]

Hi all, this is a quick build of a kit that I'd been wanting to build ever since I got it a little over a year ago. 

 

 

I'd never heard of Moebius kits before so I was curious, the subject appealed to me very much. I didn't want to spend a bunch of time on it, and as it turned out the kit was perfect for it. It went together without a hitch and I had fun building it. 

 

So this is an old service truck for the Van Dordt fleet, it's not in use anymore but it's part of our history 🙂 

 

The license plates are gone and one wiper doesn't work (wink to @CrazyCrank 🙂). It has seen better days but it still runs and drives. Hope you like it. Paint is Tamiya Flat White over a rusty base, and I used AK's Heavy Chipping Fluid to create the weathered paint. Vallejo and Lifecolour paints for the rest of the weathering. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for watching!

It's a pure beauty !

Absolutely gorgeous 👍

That's just fabulous! The rust looks very realistic. Good to see some older parts of the van Dordt fleet getting their day in the sun.

Fantastic result Jereon.  You nailed the used look. I guess,  if the van Dordt fleet need a support one day,  this old workhorse will start after the first keyturn just to it's job once again.

A nice scenery by the way 

Congratulations

I don't know, for a "quick build" this looks great!  Really looks the part, just, about, but not quite yet ready to be sent out for retirement!  

 

Cheers

The lads can get it going again in their coffee break. It looks fabulous, Jeroen. Just right.

As you said in the build thread, we have totally different build styles but I still have to say that this one has worked out really rather well. It certainly doesn't look as though you knocked it out in under a week - excellent result.

That's rather good ... it certainly looks like it's an unloved worker!

Really nice Jeroen, the weathering looks spot on.

Best Regards,

Keith.

That looks really good.  The little touches like the wipers, like the fact that only one hub cap remains, etc.  Another gem!

That's a beauty Jeroen - in a tatty, rusty sort of way!  

 

Really great build!
