Ford FD-100 Pickup

This was a fun kit to build, but it can be tricky if not planned out. There were five separate parts that made up the body. The cab and bed are separate of course, but three other body parts have to be painted as well. If you use a spray can to paint your models, be prepared and have an extra can on hand. You can easily run out of paint and end up with a mix-match paint job. I would have preferred the body in less parts. The Foose kit had its usual quality parts with great detailing and styling. There was some extra flashing on the front fenders, but that’s part of building models. After a quick trim and sanding, it was easily corrected. The only other item I would have liked to see differently in this kit was the Foose branding. I’m a big fan of Foose designs, but the Foose badging was a little overpowering in this kit. There wasn’t one Ford logo in the entire kit. The tailgate with Foose instead of Ford was where I really wanted a Ford badge. At the same time I get it. It’s a Foose design. But they couldn’t have at least one Ford badge on the entire truck? I added Ford floor mats from Hobbylinc to fix the issue. With all of that said, I have another Foose truck that I’m going to build. You can’t beat the nice rims that you can customize with little effort. Then you have the lowered suspension that makes the truck have a mean stance. The Roush engine is definitely the cherry on top. I look forward to building this kit again. This time I’ll probably add an aftermarket Ford badge on the tailgate.
