I built this model when I was about 12 years old. That was somewhere around 1976. I have a picture of me on my bed with it. It even had the same box art.

You have the best reviews and unboxing videos. I wish you did more military sets as that is what I normally build.

Tell Tam to send him some kits so you can see the reviews.

I’ve never understood why they include so many transparent red and yellow lights. Do you use all of them

Thanks for the unboxing Chris! It is a nice kit; I have the Hostess version!
@waynehawkins90902 жыл бұрын
Plan on getting this kit some day. Have the Hostess set and CF trailer kit plus a kit from the earl releases with Metra decals
@beltfed46242 жыл бұрын
The trailer panels are 2 rivots short, it's complete trash. 🤣 You know I'm joking. Great kit.

The bonus you get in this kit is the dolly from the double header kit. You can build it all up minus the rubber for the wheels.

This looks neat. Obviously some re-releasing of older stuff (trailer from the old set of 27' doubles [CF?], various Ford C-cab kits [stake bed, etc]) but still cool.

Have the original still sealed - i'll be hunting down the revised decals. Thanks for the go-through.

Those C-series Fords were everywhere, eventually replaced by the semi cab-over Louisville series. Drove them both. USPS is pretty livery and I like those tires. Pity AMT didn't follow IMC's lead and make the front axle steerable -- easy to do with those big beefy parts. Didn't see any flash -- the.molds are in great shape. Good to have it on the shelf again.

I really like the riveting. I've only made one AMT model so far, but I've only seen good things.

I'm looking forward to seeing the full build. As often happens, you feature kits that I built many years ago or just drooled over. This was the latter so I can live vicariously through you. Question: is it normal to have a Ford C-Series fetish? I love these trucks!
@kennyspaulding7962 жыл бұрын
This kit was not supposed to be released yet. 🤨 First I was supposed to buy the earlier release from Model Roundup for somewhere between 1 and 2 hundred dollars, and THEN it was meant to show up in the new releases. Always happened before anyway.

Was hoping for a full build but it’s still cool!

Same here. I realize you built the Hostess truck and trailer but I'd still like to see you do this one too. Just like a little kid. DO IT AGAIN! DO IT AGAIN!
