I for one am excited to see it, Moebius usually does high quality models, right?

Gotta love those old trucks! Growing up farming my granddads farm, I have a soft spot for them.

Its not a Mercedes, I am looking forward to seeing this one. My brother had a 1967(?) with a 4 speed manual and in-line 6cylinder. 1st gear was for pulling stumps. What a bullet-proof truck, when they were made of all metal.

Yes, Moebius makes good looking kits. This one does have a in-line six in it and I’m probably going to make it an old farm truck.

Nice looking engine. Looks as grimy as the one in my old '66 Chevy Fleetside.

My weekly update.
The spare tire
I still have some work on the interior to do, I have to figure out something on it. It’s just blah to me.

How did you upholster the seats and get that torn look? And might I suggest some empty beer cans and fast food wrappers rolling around on the floor?

I mixed up a old foam color And sprayed the seat. Then I got some tissue (Kleenex) took it down to one later, I mixed some white Elmers glue and water 50/50 mix brushed on the glue then put a tissue on the seat then more glue on top. Gently pushed it around the way that you want, let it dry. Once it is dry, paint the color you want let that dry. Gently remove tissue of what you want it to look like, then put on some washers that you want and you are done.

From my days on the farm, I'd suggest some dirty shop rags, Twinkie wrappers and Dr. Pepper cans (or better yet - bottles)!

Don't forget the gun rack in the rear window with a rifle, shotgun and a rope lasso.

You need a couple of springs sticking out through those holes.😁

Looking real good! It’s pretty cool to see a weather automotive model.
