Moebius Models 1228:
1/25 1970 Ford F-100 Custom Short Bed
The Moebius 1/25 1970 F-100 Custom Short Bed assembly kit brings an exceptional piece of fourth-generation Ford truck history to your workbench. Released as a collaborative "Encore Limited Reissue" (restricted to just 2,000 units per batch) alongside Model King, code 1228 acts as a direct continuation of the highly successful '69 truck toolings. It updates the platform with accurate styling unique to the 1970 model year.
Crafted with premium modern molds, this kit completely sidesteps the warped frames, heavy seam flash, and alignment headaches that plague older vintage truck legacy kits.

The Definitive Short Bed Pickup Canvas
What makes the Moebius 1/25 1970 F-100 Custom Short Bed an absolute triumph for model builders is its understated, civilian configuration. The unblemished white styrene body offers an immaculate canvas, allowing advanced modelers to skip flashy custom paints and apply realistic weathering pigments, rust streaks, and faded factory patina to mimic a well-loved daily workhorse.
