George Bain a little bit of everything... if it catches my eye I pick it up. I’m starting to edge towards Tamiya just for the quality of the product and attention to detail.

This kit was poorly made. On my kit ,the bed of the truck , the parts do not come together right. That is far as I got so far. I was putting it together so I can paint it. Looking at the rest of the parts, I have to trim the motor parts from left over plastic, etc . Im am very disappointed in this kit. I know I can make it come together one way or another.

Sometimes the fun part is getting past the issues with the kit. I’ve only ever had one kit that was simply unsalvageable.

A way to solve the problem with the bed is don't even put the bed on it take some popsicle sticks and make it flatbed that's what I did had some old steelies from another kit made a cool Old Farm truck out of it

Not to nit pick but the 289 wasn't in production in 1978. (That's what I'm assuming what year the truck is from the style of the grill) I think you meant 302 but my opinion is the same as yours. That engine is too small for a truck of that magnitude. It should have came with a 351 modified. That's what most Ford 4X4 pickups from that time period came with aside from the 300 in line 6
