Decided to go ahead and tackle the kit my wife got me as a thank-you for repairing her iPad, the Revell 1/25 1956 Ford F-100 Ed Roth edition. I saw this advertised and even though I'm not a car kit person I decided I just had to build it. I showed it to my wife at the hobby shop and home it came!
Revell did do one sneaky thing with this kit. All the info on the outside and their site shows a 2012 release date. Well, yes and no. This version of the kit is indeed a 2012 release, but the truck itself is a 1995 release. The decals and a few parts are all that's really new. Ah, well, no big deal.
I neglected to take photos of the majority of the build, just didn't feel like it. I did take what I call "halfway point" pics:
Finished chassis
Cab and engine
Previews with tonneau cover and without
You can see some of the fit issues in those last two pics. The doors and hood just don't fit as well as they could. It would be nice to see Revell re-engineer this kit with new molds. Then again, that could be said about a lot of kits, couldn't it....
