kilrathy10 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) Built this one about 9 months ago..It started as the old Black Magic 359 from Revell....I had built a metal flake pewter colored one like this that I sold on e'bay...As I was kind of missing it, I decided to build another one....This one took a coat of "true blue" paint from Krylon and some decals I had from other trucks..Furthermore, it has a Freightliner sleeper from Italeri... I aquired this model without the sleeper, so I had to improvise....The end result, after bashing the AMT tow body (Taking another page out Tim A's book, I narrowed it and angled the side panels) and some parts from the Italeri Bro body, was this, completely ficticious wrecker, I call Ol' Blue...

Scuderia Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I don't know enough about it to know that it was fictitious. But I DO know it looks really sweet. I like the chains in the back too, that's too cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBad Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Honestly, I never liked that Tow body, but with this Revell Pete and your mods, it works. Looks real nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
