OlSchoolRedo Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 This my fellow modelers is the oldest truck in my collection. It is the big brother to the Pete 352 that I last featured here. This original AMT T-520 kit was purchased back in 1978 from a department store clearance rack. I built the frame and engine but never got around to painting anything, anyway I eventually lost interest and decided to box it up and put it in my closet. There is where this truck sat until the late 90's when I was between builds at the time. I painted the frame, engine, and a few other related items, and then put the kit in my "to build" stash where it sat until about 2004 when I decided to finally finish it. The trailer was added a few years ago to finally complete the build. Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Buckaroo Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 What a great combination. The tractor paint scheme is very pleasing and you cant go wrong with a ribbed trailer. Second picture down if by itself I would really been fooled thinking it was real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike77 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I was thinking the same thing as Sean, it could almost be the real thing rather than a model! Great job on both the model itself and the photography. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
