Pros 

Good flowing lines. Lots of detail on the flathead V-8. Has nice whitewall inserts. 1:25 scale.

Cons 

Some fitment issues but nothing drastic. Don't like the blue mold.

Comments 

Overall, I had a great time building this one as I love the old classic trucks. I painted it the same color, metallic amazon green, as my 1:1 99 Ford F150. I made my own wood bed with some cardboard, simulated wood paper, and Pactra silver trim tape.

Pros 

Molding was clean throughout. Fitting of parts (where I chose to leave box-stock) was no problem. All in all, a joy to build.

Cons 

Weren't really many.. One thing that sticks in my mind is the side chrome trim for the hood..The pieces have to be detached VERY carefully, and require a bit of clean-up from the sprue connect points.

Comments 

Dimensions and detail is very accurate. The finest details were cleanly done

Pros 

-Great parts fitment
-Very good windows that were very easy to detail
-Very nice detail on body, interior, chassis, pickup bed floor,and engine
-Extremely accurate to 1:1 pickup

Cons 

-The pickup bed is 7 pieces
-The afore mentioned blue plastic

Comments 

Very nice kit of one of the most recognizable pickups in history. Kit is relatively straightforward, but the pickup portion is too many pieces and could cause fitment problems. But with time and patience, this kit turns out a great looking 1950 Ford F-1 Pickup. Recommended to intermediate and up modellers.
