First off, all the paint and modifications were started by another modeler. He lost interest in the project and I finished it- really about the only contributions I made (besides getting the last few bits together) were the mirrors, mud flaps, and rear bumper. I also slapped on some door handles, cab clearance lights, and fender turn signals. Still turned out pretty cool!

The cab is from R&R Resin- they call it a '56, but it is in fact a '57 Golden Jubilee Custom A-100.

Nice job, Chuck. I'm guessing the color is more brown? At least on my computer it's kind of orange.

You're both right and wrong, both wrong and right!
I'd call it a sort of 'brownish orange'.

Yep- that new Testors color in the "One Coat" line. Not my favorite, but it does look pretty good on this truck with the cream top, wouldn't you say?Nice job, I like what you've done. The color looks like Root Beer to me.......

Hey Chuck,
Great truck!! It looks fantastic.
Tell me, that bug sitting in front of it, ... did that make a cameo appearance in the 'cars' movie? Right at the end when the credits were rolling??

Chuck, it looks great.
Do you know where the wheels and tires are from? I'd love to have a set or two of those.

I think the wheels are Modelhaus- the tires look like the old 1:32 scale AMT big rig tires.Chuck, it looks great.

The thread that wouldn't die!
Thanks guys! I no longer own this one. My neighbor, not a modeler but a life-long IH truck guy, now has it in his collection. Should NOT have done that... now he's hounding me to do a model of the '80 Scout II Traveler he used to own!
