                        I just posted this at Scale Auto but figured all modelers would enjoy it. It's the reissue of Revell's 1/48 pickup truck from the late 50's with a ton of work added.

                        Very nicely done. Sure is alot of detail for a small scale truck like that.

                        HEY,
                        The smallest ive built is 1/25, and im kinda scared of something as small as what youve built. Great job though. What size is the black one 1/25?

                        Thanks dubix88,
                        Yes the dark one is the Monogram 1/25 1950 Ford pickup truck. Actually it's a very dark green but in the picture it looks black.

                        Awesome job!! I'm with Randy, the smallest I've gone is 1/25, but 1/48!!??? Being that small do you still asemble like a 1/25 or is it already put together for the most part? Yeah, I like the 1/25 Ford too!
