mackinac359 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Here's another of my painted-in-the-summer for winter building... This time a 1960's Diamond T tilt-hood conventional. My inspiration came from a Diamond T advertisement showing a red tractor with an aluminum (unpainted) chassis. Here's the ad photo: Here's my version I started with an AMT Diamond Reo adding in a resin hood from Spaulding Trading and Shipping that I have had since '07. The other bits and pieces came from the parts box with the front wheels coming from an AMT Autocar A64B kit. Looking at the photos I see I need to fix the crooked roof lights.. that right lamp is really wonky. More pics are on my Fotki workbench album at http://public.fotki....amond-t-in-red/ Thanks for looking! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
