Review and Photos by Alan Mann

The F-Series of light-duty trucks and medium-duty trucks (Class 2-7) have been marketed and manufactured by Ford Motor Company since 1948. While most variants of the F-Series trucks are full-size pickup trucks, the F-Series also includes chassis cab trucks and commercial vehicles. The most popular version of the F-Series is the Ford F-150, produced in thirteen different generations. It has been the best-selling vehicle in the United States since 1981 and the best-selling pickup since 1977. The eighth generation of the Ford F-Series is a line of pickup trucks and commercial trucks that were produced by Ford from 1987 to 1991. Built on the same platform as the Seventh generation F-series trucks, the eighth generation had softer styling lines and expanded engine options. Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) was introduced and the Custom name tag returned and the Heavy-duty models were the F-250 & F-350.

 

For the Modeler: This review covers the Re-release (Re-Pop) of the Revell 1:24 scale kit 1991 F-350 Ford Duallie Pickup. This kit has been released as both an F-250 with four wheels and the F-350 with Dual rear wheels. This is one of Revell’s more popular releases as it is used to produce Tow Trucks and Flat Bed Wreckers with aftermarket and scratch-built beds. Revell has listed this as a Skill Level 5 for advanced builders. The kit consists of 136 parts molded in White, Chrome, Clear, Clear Red and it has Vinyl tires. This release has an all new Waterslide decal sheet to replicate a Crane Service but still includes the rear window decal previous versions had. The instructions are the typical Revell book format. Build-up starts with a well detailed motor. A little aftermarket wiring and it would look great. The chassis incorporates a simplified two-wheel drive suspension but builds to a nice looking chassis. The spare tire is soft vinyl, not plastic. The interior is sparse but separate door panels allow easy detailing and you do get dash decals. Some simple details will make the interior contest ready quite easily. The body is straight and simple with a one piece cab and multiple piece bed. Building the bed is recommended prior to painting for a proper color match. Overall dimensions are: Length: 9¾”, Width: 4¼”, Height: 2-15/16″.
