Been kind of slow around here so here is the AMT 1994 F150 Lightning I'm working on. Mostly out of the box with plug wires and some underhood plumbing added. I began researching after I had already painted it only to find that they did not offer it in Blue until after the body style changed. Also found out that the side moulding and the trim around the wheel wells was not offered. Oh, well, it was too late.
Engine in place with the plug wires and some additional wiring added.
Interior, added column shifter, turn signal and tilt stalks.
Firewall testfit with master cylinder plumbing.
The sub-assemblies ready for final detail painting.

Nice looking truck, Dave. Very crisp details. I like the way the firewall and engine are coming up particularly. The engine looks quite realistic.

Looking really good Dave, what paint did you use for the interior ? I really like the look of the pale grey, especially offset against the darker side panels of the seats.
Cheers, D

Hi,
Nice job, your detail work is really good. Can't wait to see it finished.

Thanks all. I just about had it get it all together, but I ran into a couple minor issues with the fit of the air box and air duct. I'm also having issues with the Lightning decals, they're not settling down with Micro Set and Micro Sol. Taking a bit to get it all sorted out.
The interior is several shades of Model Master Grays: Neutral, Gunship, Light and Dark Ghost, with AC Interior Black instead of true Flat Black.
Hopefully, it'll be done tonight or tomorrow night.

OK, Lightning is done.

Very nice Dave, I like it a lot. Perhaps we need a "Pick-Ups" Group Build once Hermons "Demolition Derby" is finished.
