gatorincebu Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Ken, I am sure with your model building skills. That you will do this truck justice. I have always liked the A-cars. And I have a couple that have been built and are no waiting to be repaired. And a couple more in my stash. Be Well Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
