'50 Ford Ramptruck

"Race Car Transporter"

This is the combination of two kits,
Monogram '50 Ford Custom Pickup #2494 and Monogram Ford F-350 Duallie Pickup #2948

Body/Chassis: Combination of the two above mentioned kits. The Roo bar was scratchbuilt using Plastruct, the fender mounted indicators are also scratched.

Bed/Ramp: Scratchbuilt, using the plans in Car Modeler #25 by Mike Mellot, after photocopying and cutting out the template I used sheet styrene for the bed/ramp. The treadplate is from Auslowe. After assembling the whole thing I added a the tire rack, and cut out the side upswing access door to the spare and toolbox, the ramps are scratchbuilt using treadplate and Plastruct,ЕЕ.........I also scratchbuilt the tail lights

Paint: Humbrol red enamel, three coats. The treadplate was painted with Humbrol steel [buffing].

Engine: The Ardun from the '50 Custom Pickup, wired with a Parts by Parks distributor kit. The exhaust system is scratchbuilt from aluminum tubing, as is the fuel filler tube.
