Bumming a ride on this one. This is one kit I've not built yet.

I am in. I have the wrecker version of this Ford.

I gotta admit, I really like that frame colour. Noted for the future!
When I checked out my kit, I noticed that the hood was in 2 pieces? We're there any issues with that? Like, did you have to add extra support or did it align up ok? One thing that I always do, before I commit to paint, is check out the alignment of the grill and air cleaners, etc? Same with the body and the stacks. Italeri use some brackets for the positioning the stacks, which I always try to add, before I shoot any paint? Sometimes they need a little bit of filling.

The hood is in 2 pieces yes but there is an air intake tube piece that goes inside the hood that holds it together along with the overlap going down the center. It's turns out very rigid. That frame color is tamiya grey violet.

Thanks for the clarity, Kenneth. I'll be looking into that grey violet 👍
