1953 Ford F100 Flathead w/ Race Trailer 1/25 Scale Model Kit Build How To Assemble Weather Fade Rust

[@TheSaturnV]

When I was a kid my pops would take us to the dirt track at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds to watch the "roundy-rounds." Back then it was mostly non winged sprint cars. I remember going down to the north end of the grandstand and you could look over the side right into the pits. There were so many different car hauler setups like this model and I liked looking at those rigs as much as I did the race cars. I remember you could tell what the drivers did for a living by looking at their trucks. Plumbers, carpenters, electricians, dirt moving guys and concrete men. I loved this era because a man could earn enough to raise a family with a mom at home and still be able to have enough money to go racing on Friday night.

My Uncle had a 53 Ford flathead Farm truck and hauled hay and pulled a horse trailer too. He liked it so much he bought my Aunt a 54 Mercury Monterey 3 row seating woody wagon flathead. She drove us to Rushmore, the Pacific Ocean and Chicago in that wagon (4 adults and 4 kids. I dig the weathering on this. His looked that way in 56, he used it so much. Thanks for another fun build, Chris!

That Ford truck and trailer sure stood the test of time prety well for its vintage... I remember building this as one of my first kits when I was like 5, as the "Diamond in the Rough" kit with the beat-up Ford Tudor Deluxe. Of course I ruined it, as I was so young, but was the kit that captivated me the most, and left a mark. I kept dreaming about getting that kit again growing up, until I bought a sealed one around 2013 for like 40$ CAD. I think that kit conditioned me at a young age to buy hoopties, or "diamonds in the rough" to fix them up! And guess what? It worked!!!😅

That weathering looks great! and the attention to detail is impeccable! Please do more weathering videos like this!

[@davidhinkson8856]

I always enjoy these weathered vehicle projects and the themes you come up with as you build them. Most of the Gulf liveried builds I see tend to be in pristine condition so it's nice to see one that's worked hard and a bit worse for wear.

This is awesome I’m in the USA on Vacation for the 1st time in 9 years and this along with a few other kits is in my luggage for the trip back home. Hobby Lobby 40% off means I saved hundreds of £/$ on what these would cost me back home and that’s assuming I could source them Awesome build again Chris and can’t wait to get mine onto the bench

[@TheSaturnV]

Awesome. So did you pick up this exact kit at Hobby Lobby within the last few days? I may have to go check mine out, what part of the country did you pick it up?

[@dadctf6243]

Yes it was on sale in Florida (Orlando area)can’t remember which one now as there’s a few around here they also have the 40% off next week as well

[@dadctf6243]

@@TheSaturnVjust checked and it was the one near to Ponser Park in Davenport FL, they had a few in stock on the shelves and they’ve got the 40% off again starting Monday 7/22

[@raymondblanchard2213]

I may have used the moon hub caps dented & rusted a bit. You did a stellar job, as usual, beautifully done.

[@reggiedennison6207]

Great job Chris. I made this kit ages ago, when it was "Diamond in the Rough". It was molded in light blue. I still have it after all these years. The only difference between the two kits is that instead of having the panels and tire rack on the trailer, the kit included a 1940 Ford that was beat up with broken glass and dented fender. I have started this kit also and it brought back so many memories. I think I will weather mine as well. This will be my 4th version of this truck plus I have the Coke version yet to build. Keep up the great work that you do. 😊😊😊

[@buckster2575]

I remember that kit.

[@reggiedennison6207]

​@buckster2575 I went with a little more damage to the roof of the car as if some kids back in the day used it to party in and jumped up and down on the roof.

[@buckster2575]

@@reggiedennison6207 it was a $20 kit back then.now it's about $100.

[@maryfiltz800]

Thanks for the build - great job of weathering on this.

[@timescriva7274]

Great video, I built this kit in the 70's as a stand alone- no trailer just the pickup & all the same parts. I used the hemi, chopped the top & front clip to make it ip forward. It was a themed push- truck from circle track in the 60'

[@Stewart-t2x]

Great job on the kit. The weathering job you did. That what a service truck would have looked like. Thanks for sharing your talent.

[@dblducecreations]

Nice build Chris! Appreciate the weathering tips!

[@richardlee1092]

Great job Chris!!! My son gave this kit to me for my birthday last year. It is at the top of the list to build next. This is great inspiration for my build. Thanks for the review. Nice kit Round2. 😎

[@garyjust.johnson1436]

Hobby Lobby should have this at 40% off next week! Great build! I will get at least one, just for all the extra parts!

[@johnclemans7802]

Yuuuup! May have to add to my stash. Wish they would just have the trailer

[@danielkemp4801]

Just bought this kit today. Looking forward to building it soon. Watching the video of how it's going to be. Great video and review, keep up the great work. Have a nice day.

[@alwynemcintyre2184]

Did that kit 20 or 30 years ago, still got it in it's original box in the shed. Didn't know about weathering then, so it's a shiny red spray can colour with a white bed cover and I think a brown interior and the optional engine

[@michaelcooke2559]

Very nice build. The weathering looks fantastic. Excellent attention to detail. Definitely a nice kit. I’m glad I have one in my stash. Thanks for sharing.

[@QMore-fp7wn]

Beautiful work as always. I enjoy watching your vids especially when I haven’t had time to build.

[@Roadworn12]

What an amazing video! I love the patina techniques used here. Getting back into the hobby and wanting to produce models with a higher level of detail than i did as a 12 year old kid. 😊 This kit is next up for me. Thank you so much for making these.

[@lesthiele4921]

Hi Chris, the pick-up looks absolutely fantastic, it looks as if it has had a very full work life, the trailer looks great as well, congratulations on a job very well done, best regards from Australia, Les

[@ledheadkustomplastic3442]

NICE WORK THERE MAN 😎👍🇺🇸

[@DarksouIjah]

Amazing job!

[@joemenchaca1326]

Looking at your paint booth. I decided to line the inside of mine with wax paper and see how that works when it starts to build up. I can just change it

[@openexhaustmodels5139]

Great job mate👍

[@DavidPayne-j5z]

Great build as always

[@donneu2629]

Excellent review of a kit like those I built in the 60's. BTW, I just ordered a Hasegawa 1/24 Kubelwagen. I have wanted a kit of the VW Thing and this is the closes I have ever found. I would love to see an unboxing or build on your your channel.

[@ArchaicHammer]

Thank you for doing this so soon after i posted the request this is exactly what i was looking for!

[@myesenc]

Great build👍👍

[@Retrospext]

I built that kit in the mid 1960's without the trailer. It had a fun door decal, Noah"s Arc Welding.

[@anthonyhendricks7377]

Great video as always. Nice model will have to pick one up.

[@JackWebster-cs8hi]

Great job

[@OFFCODEV2]

Im still working on this exact kit

[@Anonymous1999b]

Absolutely fantastic, you really have an impeccable eye for colour. But isn't the steering wheel a little too high (comparing to reference pictures) so it would be difficult to drive even?

[@johns.ebright4278]

Awesome kit, is that the Sanford and son pickup?

[@fatboyshadetree5139]

How do you install the metal hood clip!!????

[@Elchavitaslp]

Nice work Chris, can you make a formula 1? Thank you

[@roberthinkle981]

I just built the 60 ford truck with the trailer I weathered it up like it was from Michigan somebody said

[@KennyHall-x2f]

I tried that weathering technique once and it looked like my six year old done it.😅

[@douglasmurray1829]

What are you using for glue?

[@garystiegelmeyer4366]

I have this kit but no time yet to build it

[@markbarkley8580]

got my trailer done then stoped round 2 package came got my charger so working on it lol

[@hpiguy]

Enjoy it!

[@garyjordan3914]

Ummm , I hate to tell you but.........that thing you called a grease gun is actually a fire extinguisher . Just thought you'd like to know . 😊

[@devlinadams4166]

It looks like that red truck that was used in the 1970s TV sitcom Sanford and Son

[@KennyHall-x2f]

That was a 1951
