Updating photos of old models in my collection. This 1:48 F-100 Thunderbirds was built ~1984. Missing LG doors on the starboard lg and the end of the nose pitot has been broken off. Still for 40+ years, it's survived well.

Looking great! Was the island structure a good fit? Because I will be replacing those poles.

Alister McDonald
Steven Van Dyck. The island structure took quite a while to get sorted. The ends of the poles are shaped at angles which fit into the base of the island structure. If not fitted perfectly the island structure wont fit level. This one is about 2mm shorter than the original due to a few fit issues and getting it level.

I've never seen this one, before? It kinda reminds me of a Star wars Stormtrooper!
I'll most definitely have to look it up.
You've done a great job with those details though, Tim. I'm guessing you had to make a lot of adjustments, to convert it into axle forward?

Tim Powell
The hardest part of this conversation has been the half circle wheel well "caps". A lot of cutting, trimming and puttying to get the look right. It's not perfect by actual truck standards, but I got the look down. I haven't decided on single or dual drive (leaning toward single), but I'll have to adjust the front axle a bit. Not a big deal

It reminds me of a styrofoam helmet to protect small children, or a Sally Field hairdo.
Being from Europe, this truck doesn't ring any bells for me, but I do admire the work you're putting in

Tim Powell
Early 60's Modification from Ford to convert the C series to a COE. It's very different, that's one reason I like it...I'm a bit old school growing up in the truckin 70's

Bozzer
That turned out great, mate! Definitely a conversation starter, and I think that you should enter that, in your next local, model competition. It'll certainly catch the eyes of the judges.

Tim Powell
Maybe, but too many warts….i know where the issues are

Bozzer
You're too modest mate. That's something to be proud of, right there 👍

Tim Powell
Thank you for your kind words
