Thank you gentlemen I'm really not sure what direction I'm going to go with this build. It would be really cool to build it as a mud toy just not sure how to make it look muddy

Thank you gentlemen I'm really not sure what direction I'm going to go with this build. It would be really cool to build it as a mud toy just not sure how to make it look muddy Have a look for weathering powders, there's a few for military modeling that do dirt/mud and can be put on over paint, and if you don't like them they can be washed off

So unfortunately I haven't had any luck finding the gun I wanted for this build. I'm going to try and build it factory stock as you could have found it at your local ford dealership in 78. Here's the look I'm going to try to do.

Thank you Tom. I decided to do a little work on this one today. Got my base paint down now let it set for a week or two to let it fully dry then start taping it up for the brown.

Oh while I'm thinking of it I may add a snow plow to the front on this one just not sure how everything will line up under it.

That's a real good match to the real 1:1 from where I am sitting. Definitely gonna be cool, especially if you can get the plow on the front!

Mike, I noticed that the MPC world war 2 Jeep has a 50 caliper machine gun included in the kit. I think this would work with your original idea. If you think you may be interested, I can shoot you a picture. Let me know.

I like the color scheme Mike, a tip on masking, cut thin strips of good quality tape, approx 2-3mm wide, and mask the edges with this, then mask up the rest with regular tape, it will help in the curves mate.
