Ford Aeromax Project

Page 3: Final Photos

The instructions call for TS-37 "Lavender" paint, but my daughters were highly offended claiming that this color is nothing like lavender.  Maybe its a translation problem.  In any case, I think it looks pretty good.  In terms of a appearance, this truck can appear a bit monotonous since it is all one color without much contrast and hardly any stickers.  I was worried that it would be too much of a strong color and look bad.  Although I do wish it was a bit more decorated, I still think it looks great.  Particularly after you hook up a trailer, the amount of purple doesn't stand out so much.  I also like that the tall wind deflector fairs nicely with the top of the trailer making everything look like it fits together just right which, of course, it does.

   

   

   


Here's the real 1996 Aeromax for comparison.  Look familiar?  I think this brochure photo also tells us where Tamiya got the color.
