Here's one that's been sitting on the workbench for a loooong time, finally dusted it off and finished up. A swap meet Ertl Paystar that had some poorly glued engine and chassis but no paint, the rest was still pretty good though.  Added AITM wheels and tires and a winch and winch tower from ebay, if you search trucks much there you've probably seen them, pretty nice pieces. Also a resin toolbox, auslowe mud flaps, and fenders, hydraulic tank and some other bits from the parts stash, scratch built the frame roller and rails. My first attempt at any weathering too, rusted the roller and dirtied up the fifth wheel. Comments and or suggestions are welcome, I'm always looking to improve.

Started out to be just a water tanker but it was looking a little bulky so it got pushed aside, then one day I was looking at truck pics on the web and ran across an old Mack  with a tank cleaner that was a similar size so here's where we ended up. The plumbing is probably not 100% accurate but it was fun building it. Made up a fictional company for my first attempt at printing decals with an inkjet printer.
