Leonidas Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Wow, that's awesome. Always wanted to see what this kit looked like completed. You see a few of them come up on ebay, but they cost an absolute fortune. Glad you built this one, excellent work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 Trucker Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Well built, but the duck and the engine should be painted in gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Force Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) Nice build, a AMT R-series is a lot better than the old Ertl kit would have been as the DM is totally wrong, and you have used the only usable parts from it.If you go by the movie sound track the "Rubber Duck" truck would have had a Detroit Diesel 2-stroke engine, but the pictures tell a different story, the truck has a dual intake tube air cleaner so the engine should be a ENDT 676 "Tip Turbine", and you hear the 4-stroke engine in some places in the movie where they haven't replaced the sound...same goes for the air horns, you don't get that high pitch tones that are in the movie sound track from the long horns the Rubber Duck truck has, they have a much lower pitch sound wich also can be heard in some places in the movie.
