Reviews : Moebius 1971 Ford F250 Custom 4x4 Pickup Truck

This is another example of the great kits produced by Moebius. The parts go together without a fight. I especially liked the mounting points for the truck bed that made assembly of the 5 parts very easy and kept everything in square. I have heard some folks state that the truck bed was warped. Mine had no issues. The assembly of the chassis was equally easy. Since this is a lifted truck, I was initially concerned about the strength of the plastic to support it all. However, the mounting points for the front and real leaf springs are large and hold a lot of glue. The bottom line is that the assembled chassis is very sturdy. The chrome trim pieces for the side of the truck cab and bed makes a two-tone paint job a cinch. The directions are typical Moebius quality and the include a lot of information concerning period correct body colors. Overall, this kit was a fun build and makes for a great looking shelf display.

Where to start, wow, Moebius scored a TD & a 2 pointer with this one ! Beautifully cast with no flash that I've found yet & the parts actually line up! As far as I'm concerned these are far superior in quality & detail to other American model companies & we know who they are, & bearing down on mfgrs. like Tamiya really fast. I don't mind shelling out close to $35 for a kit of this quality, I can't wait for the late 40's Chevy's from Galaxie Ltd tooling... I think builders with intermediate skill levels on up would enjoy building this, I know I am, & I've been building 58-59 yrs (I'm 68).. If your into 4x4s ya gotta build this... There are 2 wd parts in the kit but why would you want to lol,Mercury PU hood badges on the tree too..
