Originally introduced in 2016 in the Moebius Ford Truck Series line-up, this 1970 Ford F-100 Custom Cab Short Bed Pick Up model kit goes together as easily now as it did in it's first production run. 

Today on the Monster Hobbies Model Car Garage we will be looking at the 1970 Ford F-100 Custom Cab Short Bed Pick Up By Moebius Models. This is a model car unboxing video. 

This model kit is molded in light gray plastic and consists of over 130+ parts, including an amazing Ford 240 straight 6 engine. 

This engine consists of 25 highly detailed parts including the air cleaner, carburetor, intake manifold, 3-piece engine block with a 3-piece transmission combo, cylinder heads, 2-piece intake and exhaust headers, motor mounts, oil filler cap, oil filter, distributor cap, fan belt, fan and alternator, to name some of the many pieces here. All these parts are molded in grey plastic. 

The chassis is a beautifully designed unit that includes four separate front coil and rear leaf springs, brake drums, the new style split Twin I-Beam front axle, two piece rear differential, drive shaft, shock absorbers, a spare tire with spare tire mounting bracket, exhaust pipes, and a drive shaft. This frame is similar in construction to the Trophy Series AMT 1953 Ford Pickup truck, which is another awesome classic kit that stood the test of time. 

Although this kit can be built in only one variation : the factory stock pickup truck, It is still an awesome kit and you could use the Service Truck parts from the mentioned Trophy Series AMT 1953 Ford Pickup Truck to give you a sister truck for this year. I refer to the welding tanks and torch, tools, large mirrors, marker lights and service decals.

The factory stock version comes with authentic bumpers, chrome grill that is thinned out in the back so that you can see through it to the radiator support behind, like the real truck grill, a rear tailgate with "Ford" raised letters stamped in it, generic black tires with factory stock steel wheels and chrome "Ford" dog dish hub caps. The grill is correct for a 1970 truck.

The 1970 Ford F-100 Custom Cab Short Bed Pick Up By Moebius Models decal sheet features many optional graphics from the era in which vehicles like this would have. For example, you get a lot of the service sponsor logos for building a mild service truck, like the "Sven's Chop shop"  or the "Metzner's Mufflers" side door decals,  Autolite air cleaner decal, instrument panel gauges, four different "FORD" tailgate decals, body emblems and your choice of 6 different licence plates!   

The instruction sheet is printed in full color and features authentic full color paint chips and names for 21 different variations. Sadly, it doesn't show two-tone combinations, but those are easily found through pictures and online research. Still, to have a color match chart is something I think all the other model kit manufacturers should invest in. 

Also included in the instruction sheet for the Moebius Models 1970 Ford F-100 Custom Cab Short Bed Pick Up model car kit are several photos of the painted model including a frame-off engine/chassis picture which shows the colors used on the parts we don't usually see from the street corner. This is an amazing resource for those of us that want to "Get it right".
