AMT Ford Louisville Short Hauler

finished build








Original Build


I carefully broken down into components to strip the existing paint off with oven cleaner as it was brush painted in humrol



After a coat of tamiya undercoat I airbrushed the new acrylic on and lightly sanded it to fade the middle of the door.
Rust effects done by digging in and lifting the knife up around the proposed rust spot to give the effect of lifting paint then brush painted rust colours inside the area.


Pre shaded and salt technique weathering on the top and sides finished off with a wash and rust colour dry brushing



Vinyl masks applied and airbrushed on



Wash added to fuel tanks and bare metal foil applied to the grill surround and door handles.
Alclad on the grill insert and black glass rubbers masked and airbrushed on.

This is a great rebuild mate, very nicely done. Still LH drive?

Cool old work horse.
