Beautiful fit and finish, great color choice. Everything about this truck screams early 70's
IW, Isn't it funny how automotive styling trends have set our time clocks? -Doug
Can't wait to build this kit. Have so many to build!
FM, That's a great problem to have! -Doug
Nice kit the Ford rangers are good trucks 😀
MHK, right on both counts! -Doug
Im working on this model now, wasn't happy the way the engine was canted to hook up to the transfer case.
XBP, It's seems a little odd! -Doug
Thanks Doug. As always, I love it, love it, love it.
Jeff
Thanks Jeff! - Doug
My dad built that one a few months back - nice review!
Thanks CJ! -Doug
Right On Replicas. You know what's real scary about this "classic kit" ? I'M DRIVING A 1980 FORD Ranger, with a long bed, 4x4 just like this kit! My everyday driver. It's one of the newer trucks I've ever owned! Don't know wether to laugh or cry! Great looking build, wish mine was a stepside.
Sq - Nothing wrong with driving the classics! -Doug
@squach623 !!!!! Now it’s scary, I own and daily drive a 1980 F-150 Ranger, single cab, long bed, 4 wheel drive with the 351M V8 and C6 auto transmission. It’s the one in my profile pic.
TKS been wanting one. I have a 92 myself ! A very good truck .
KC, have fun with that build! -Doug
Awesome kit bud! Nice choice of colors, yours looks great Doug!!
Thank Mike - True Blue! -Doug
My respects sir you put alot of detail on making your models trucks ravell should hire you 👍👍😃😃
HHG, Thanks dude. Actually I did until they went bankrupt a year ago! -Doug
You need to leave the cover off that beautiful floor in the bottom of that pick-up body,Doug !! 👍
Charlie, I hear ya, that's why the cover wasn't glued on! -Doug
I've made this kit and it's a good kit to build

@@RightOnReplicas thanks I am. Only thing was the drive train was tad too long so I cut it a bit fits good now.
WK, Thanks for subbing and thanks for the tip! -Doug
@@RightOnReplicas welcome 👍
Looks great Doug! I'm really enjoying your reviews keep them coming.
One question with this one, could you install the sunroof from the inside so that it sits flush with the body or is that how the real trucks are? (We don't see many in Australia)
Ben - I don't know for sure but it seems that the early factory sunroofs were high like that although this one seems a tad too high from what I remember. They were not internal panels like today's sunroofs. They were add on units that either flipped up in the rear or were fixed in place back then. -Doug
Love to kit bash this with the extended cab f250. Make an extended cab flareside bullnose f250
NH, An ambitious project for sure. PS - please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
Very nice, I have that one, wip, I'll finish it one day, lol
Shannon - If you sit down at your workbench everyday - you'll be done before you know it! -Doug
Right On Replicas and put you guys on a playlist. while working.
Now that's the spirit and, I like the way you think! -Doug
Right On Replicas 👍👍👍👍👍
Lovely job 👍🍺🇬🇧
Thanks George! -Doug
Doug,estou viciado em seus vídeos ,muito obrigado irmão Deus te abençoe.
Nice build. Is there a 92 Ford truck kit available ! ?
KC, AMT made one in '92. It was the 6951 AMT 1992 Ford F-150 XLT Flareside Pickup Truck kit. Vintage now but still out there. -Doug
'80-92 are all the same trucks just the body style changed in '86. I have this kit which is a representation of a 80-81 F150. To make my '82 I will have to rob parts from not only the Bronco kit but also a 91 F series kit to get the parts I need to make it proper.
Nice Work!
Thanks Don - Doug
I work on these trucks a lot, and some of the stuff in this kit (just bought this today) is way out of scale, the headers are waaaay to big, the front shock buckets are tiny, and the spare tire underneath???!!
Gis - You're right about the kit deficiencies - thanks for the tips! -Doug
Yep the Styling of that Under Truck Dpwre isn't Right. It looks like it's got the Vinyl or Plastic cover zeith would be used in a Bed located side mount Dpwte or one hlthst might be mounted to a bed side mount to tailgate center hinged m latch unit
The under truck tire Carrier was a Stamped Metal bracket humped in Center to use backside of Rim as locataor
LMC Truck has pics of them
Kits Instructions now are Revised my kit shows bed sides Correct
However my kit has Rear Leaf Springs w Locator tanlbs that day not match the Frame I Slotted the Holes n then filled the new void Spots
Instruction leave a lot to be Desired as far as Clarity of Assembly location of Transfer case
Builders need to be Warned about Removal of the Half of Transfercase with the Case to Frame locstir glue tab
Also there needs to be arrows at Frame n tip of Transfer case for the frame Rail secondary attaching point on the Frame n Case
My Radiator Support I had to do extra work on for it to go nicely on
Rather than Detail paint the Grille Used 220 Grit Wet/Dry Glued to Craft Stick then slowly Sanded/milled away 2/3 rds of grilles thickness which opened the Rectangles so Radiator Support paint n Radiator are seeabke thru grille
This modificstion does require extra work for fine tuning Grilles fitment but it's worth it
Between the Various fiddley n Finicky Spots including possible ugly Rear Cab seem if putty umisnt used
I'd Recommend beginners not try this kit unless assisted by a skilled builder
RB, Thanks - those are some good detailing instructions! -Doug
@@RightOnReplicas you're Welcome Doug I'm part way there the build at 5 days n huge # of hours of TLC on making this kit a Decent n Fun Diorama What if Build "Santa's Reindeer Got sick or Went On Strike" as a Emergency Delivery Express Pickup
Later I will be Building copies of My Truck I had and My Fiancees Ford too in 2010/11. Mine was a 84 F150 STD cab long box 2wd hers Wes 84 F250 STD cab long box 2 wd. Parked together it looked like A Ford Commercial
When I next do this kit I'll Do a inbox Review and then Do a Build n Tips video on this kit
Our kits are a Starting point I'm glad we have them but this old tool has some to be Desired.
Perhaps if Revell was Approached right by a few of us skilled builders they'd revise n update parts of this Tooling
The spare tire isn't Right I'm considering Scratch building a Correct under Spare Carrier and using one of kits original Wheels n Tires to make a copy Casting For just Enough Detail for under the Truck
LMC Truck has Great pics in their catalog of parts on these trucks in Excellent Detail
I'm thinking of Trying to use a Scale Photocopy of the Speedometer to Glue into Dash
The ingraving was too shallow n poor to use my Special n fast Gauges Detail Trick
I'll be Hanging that rear cab seam later to day I use 3M Bondo Glazing putty instead of Green Squadron it's far cheaper n works Excellent. I also just found a new Short Cut trick that works with it Too. Happy Building Walt Ronk...
RB, Sounds like a fun and challenge schedule of projects. Thanks! -Doug

@@RightOnReplicas one more question where did you get your paint
TKS Doug
K
Do they have one in a normal bed instead of a step side?
I, Moebius 1208 and AMT, Lindberg have made Ranger fleetside kits in various years. PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
@@RightOnReplicas but do they have one from 80 to 86 I'm trying to get a replica of my first truck I already have paint mixed of the color code and everything
I, I'm not familiar with one. You'll have to do some more homework! PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
What do you paint with
Kash, Larger parts are finished using an airbrush, smaller ones with a small paint brush. Thanks for watching and if you like what you see please subscribe, if you haven't already, to help us inspire more modelers! -Doug
Where did you get your paint
Koda,
If you're asking about the exterior color the black was from a hobby shop and the blue from gravitycolors.com/us/

I built this the first time it came out as a Monogram kit, still have it in a box of old models.
40, You hang on to those builds! -Doug
I pressed and rolled tires on sandpaper an all I did was roll the tires on sandpaper no wearing of the tires
Matt, Make sure you're using fresh sandpaper and you might have to increase the downward pressure! -Doug
kool
Thanks Rob! -Doug
Can you please give me really good beginner revell kit.
Bot, The recent re-pops by Revell are standard kits but they used to make great transition kits that were easy to build like the 2014 Corvette Stingray 1:25 #85-4350. The Revell Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 1:25 85-4501 is also a pretty easy build. PS - please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers! -Doug
could you use nail flocking?
Cam -That's a good question! those are actually more like a fine embossing powder which is also great for close knap carpeting so I don't see why they couldn't be used. -Doug
Knap?
cAm - Nap my bad refers to the length of the carpet fibers. -Doug
Thanks, once Amazon gives me my nail flocking I can flock my car floors knowing it'll work! (2 months wait)
Cam - If you don't want to wait you can get carpet flocking from some craft stores and embossing powders as well! -Doug
