1965 Ford F100 Service Truck 1/25 Scale Model Kit Build Review Moebius Model King 1235

[@NitrousDiecast]

I would like to see how you store and display all your completed models

[@hpiguy]

No plans to give a tour of my home or storage boxes, sorry man!

[@barrybracken5233]

Build for yourself! I love that. I just got back into the hobby and that mindset makes it so much more enjoyable. Thanks for that.

[@hpiguy]

Right on!

[@tomcline5631]

My first truck was a 65 with a wooden flatbed. Had the 352 with a granny low 4 speed,with 410 rearend. Would climb over anything. It was so low geared it would start in 3rd gear with clutch engaged! Loved that truck. Drove til the cam flattened and it would pop back through carb. That was an amazing old truck. Howdy! 8months late! I bought this kit finally and built my first truck!! Dug up a photo album from my senior year and built and painted it just like my truck! Scratch built the wooden flatbed and everything! This was one of the best fitting kits I've ever built! Gonna get some more of Model King Ford's. Really fantastic building kit.

[@od1452]

Ha ha Chris .. I love you car owner's back stories . I used to think .." if the truck drove over a muddy road.. it would look like this. " Now I think ." Taking the kids to visit Grampa who's farm is at the end of a 1/2 dirt road and it rained all night... oh well... can't disappoint the kids. " lol Thanks for the fun build.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks GD!

[@alanwbelcher]

Great build, Chris. Thanks for showing it to us.

[@webvideofan]

The tanks in the bed are impressive! Beautiful build.

[@hpiguy]

Glad you like them!

This is the best model car channel on KZbin

[@hpiguy]

Well thank you very much! I do much more than cars though, I love anything I can model! Welcome!

[@GryphonArmorer]

Wow. Honestly I'm am shocked about how stunning the the paint turned out. Sure beats spraying multiple layers of paint, wet sanding and polishing & buffing. Really nice build. Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks. 😉 Keep up the good work. 👍👍

[@jasongriffin8849]

These kits have come a long way from the ones I built in the 70's and 80's. I'm getting back into it. Just bought an airbrush and compressor today. Already have 2 models mailed to me. When you have a two piece driveshaft like this one, its connected in the middle by what is called a Carrier Bearing. I had to replace one on my 1963 Impala back in the day. You do awesome work btw. That paint job is excellent!

[@hpiguy]

Thank you Jason!

[@charlesmcclure5994]

Why I like your channel Chris, is you build anything and everything, looking like it came off the show room floor or a vehicle that been driving around for years. Always love your build's.😃👍

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Charles, it's always fun to change things up now and then.

[@docb.9908]

The simple white roof top sets the kit off very nicely.

[@hpiguy]

Thank you!

[@danielbritton8588]

Man that stuff in the back looks awesome in that truck.

[@hpiguy]

It does!

[@mattdaugherty7865]

"To hell with what everybody else thinks!" Love it!

[@hpiguy]

That's right, build for you and have FUN!

[@poppaonboard]

Great build, so realistic in the slide show at the end.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Jon!

[@nathan4919]

I am glad Moebius is bringing in the 60s and 70s Ford trucks I hope they keep it up and you do fine work bud enjoy your videos

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Nathan!

[@docb.9908]

This is third time I've watched this build. Very nicely done.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Doc!

[@rogerwachal3718]

I love going back and watching your videos again and again.to see how you did something. On all of your models I love your commentary too

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Roger!

[@chrisadams628]

This generation of F100 is my absolute favorite. I was supposed to inherit my dad's '65 but he lost it during a divorce from my now ex-stepmother. I just checked the website you got your kit from and found exactly what I'm looking for, but it's short wheelbase and flareside. the long bed style side was the best imo

[@hpiguy]

Longbed is coming out later this year, stay tuned!

[@chrisadams628]

@@hpiguy Awesome!

[@bambutu]

I am subbed to a couple modeling channels and I will say this has to be my fav. I love the laid back nature of his builds. People tend to get to into make a model as "realistic" as possible, the "rivet counters" and forget to have fun. He brings the fun back into the hobby and reminds us all how enjoyable it really is. I stumbled across this and one other channel, and they are what got me back into modeling. Keep the good work!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks a lot! It's more important to me to enjoy the build and the hobby than it is to stress over perfection and suck all the fun out of it.

[@bambutu]

@@hpiguy Absolutely! My models are far from perfect but I had a LOT of fun building them.

[@Toppervision1]

Good to finally see this kit. It does look very good. Us guys in the model community with our little shops on KZbin sometimes build a shop truck for our channel This is a prime candidate! You did a splendid job again Chris

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Topper!

[@TheHelado36]

Wow this kit is well sorted with goodies !

[@hpiguy]

All sorts of extras

[@darthmarrs2687]

Super nice truck, this one is now on my future kit to build. Thanks for the glass tip.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@lucjanssens543]

It's also good to see Moebius doesn't clip off the "not needed" parts, it prevents production errors, cuts costs, and as Chris said helps you build-up a decent parts box.

[@hpiguy]

I agree!

[@bromhead100]

fantastic build,would love one of them,it would cost me a fortune as i would be charged customs,used a silver sharpie for the first time,brilliant,got a set of three gold,silver and bronze,used the bronze on the exhaust,came out brilliantly,i just rubbed it on the exhaust then got a q tip and started to rub it off just as it was drying,give it a try yourself chris,keep up the good work.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching Richard and the tip!

[@electroncreations5724]

My friend's dad had one of these that was painted white. They were electrician's. I remember it parked in their driveway. I would love to put one together the way they had it. Theirs also had ladders racked on the top sides. I would have to have a decal made for it. It would bring back a load of memories. --Cindi aka Granny Glue-Sniffer

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Cindi! The roofers working next door have one very similar I noticed yesterday.

[@carsyoungtimerfreak1149]

I like how you build them. Especially as you do not go overboard with painting. No polishing till the paint has a mirror finish, back in the day paint on cars was not that great and you keep it thus very realistic.

[@charliebowman785]

If this is not the best model you've done, is one of the top five. Beautiful!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks a lot Charlie!

[@carolinamodelshop2545]

Very nice kit I really like the detail Moebius included in this model.

[@hpiguy]

It's a sweet model!

[@joekrause6382]

Another thing I like about this kit is the New Jersey License Plate

[@radioactivelarry]

Just got my order from Model Roundup (Oct 2019) both 65's Flair Side and Service Truck plus some mud flaps for my big rigs. Oct 2019 issue Scale Auto Mag on page 18 shows a third truck with a pick-up bed called Custom Cab LWB due 2020, I'll have to buy a dozen! No Joke! Going to build this one as a 60's trailer hauler for a 60's area drag racer. Of course the service bed will house all the tools, parts, tires etc for a weekend drag racer, hows that for a spin.. I own a full size 65 F-100 that I upgraded with 70's Ford parts, power steering, auto, came with a 9" and I stuck a Yukon posi in it etc, big nasty 390 built-up from a 65 T-Bird with 64 heads and other after market goodies. California truck made in San Jose, no rust! Went to the big box paint store and bought a ton of Rustoleum both spray and about a dozen quarts with some acetone and hardener so I can spray through my mini touch-up gun and my airbrush for some wood projects. Ever spray it in an airbrush? Love your build as usual, I'm going to weather mine up also, drag race tire dust!

[@radioactivelarry]

The tree that has the engine is a 70's tailgate. From their 70's F-100 kit, so technically it is a 390? Have fun with that. The other tailgate with the front end components is correct for 66-66 so that tells me the LWB bed is coming!

[@hpiguy]

Yup all types of trucks coming.

[@munchkinmodelingman72GAM2]

awesome build chris…..can see a few folks getting this one .

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@williamporter7596]

Thanks another review. I often look up your build when researching to see if a kit is worth building, rather than just going in the stash.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks William, glad to help!

[@r.a.monigold9789]

Pride in one's work - THAT'S what sets you apart. Mighty fine build - oh, and I'm glad we got to see it before that second shift guy banged it up. Those service doors look like you could reach over and unlatch 'em. So nice. Thank you for sharing...

[@hpiguy]

Thanks a lot RA!

[@johnwilliams7102]

Beauty ! Love service trucks. Your photos at end look like the real deal - awesomeness!

[@hpiguy]

Thank you very much!

[@thomasallen3818]

I had several work trucks like that with Koenig service beds. Sure brings back memories.

[@hpiguy]

Nice, I've got the 67 now too, will be doing a build up.

[@vernonleeper7788]

Man that is just super neat. Looks like a good fun build.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Vern, it is!

[@theguythehobbyshop7880]

the black primer really makes alot of details stand out ! really enjoy your videos, the tools in the back look right at home too

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

Wish it had a taller box to harvest to build a Squad 51 Rescue truck!

[@keithgunter6823]

Hi, try BCS on ebay under rescue/ utility truck body .Its $ 26.99 with free ship. I used one but had to cut it just a little bit. It is just the truck bed you need the new dodge truck kit to complete it. Have a good day.

[@MrDcseltzer]

Love this. Do some more 60s vehicles

[@lenniewire8029]

Hands down the best build you have done , it's as RIGHT as could be .would not change anything .could not improve at all .👍😷

Thanks 👍

Picked one up today and can't wait to build it, great video.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Bob!

[@stephenmiller9124]

I absolutely love this service truck! Perfect color scheme. The AMT accessories look terrific in the truck bed. I don't really need more kits added to my wish list, but you keep tempting me with great new kits. Such fun! Thank you, Chris for another great model kit review.

[@cbgadget4740]

Great looking build. Now ya got me thinking about switching hobby for a while and doing this truck. Know what you mean about a brand new truck. I went to work for a company back in 1973 and was given to use a brand new Dodge tool box service truck. We had three of them and loved to parade them when a crews were working together. 👍👍👍😎😎😎

[@hpiguy]

You'll enjoy getting back into it. It's fun having more than one hobby, you can always go back and forth.

[@gohst581922]

Thanks and Thanks!

[@kenhorne5650]

I do model railroading and when I do scenery, I paint it all black. When I paint the colors over it gives me shadows. I learned that from experts like yourself on realistic modeling.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@jakespeed63]

This one turned out real nice. Great color choices. Your real life commentary makes me laugh. My '97 F-250 city service truck was a 135k mile hand me down, from another department. It was almost trashed, by the time I got it. Except for rear ending a lady, when she slammed on her brakes, I've kept it in great condition, for the last 20k. Even throw a coat of wax on the cab periodically. JT

[@PacManDreaming]

Beautiful build! Makes me wish I had a real one that looked like that.

[@hpiguy]

Thank you!

[@daylightdan5996]

Awesome truck! Absolutely love the color combination! I would also like to thank you for sharing your skills and tips with the modeling community. Especially the younger builders. My son is 13 and loves your videos. He's got watching them now. Keep up the good work and God bless. Looking forward to your next video.

Thanks Hisham!

[@tomcline5631]

These trucks had steel dashes,no vinyl tops. Just saying,love your builds! No criticism,just FYI. Glad you got the original photos of the motor,those gold valve covers were very cool looking. Almost looked like anodized aluminum,but were, of course, stamped sheet metal. Another neat tidbit about these trucks,the early 65's had stainless steel grills. Ford used up the stainless they had left over. The funny part was that they painted them if the customer ordered a painted grill!
