tbill Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 nothing picture worthy yet, but i have the frame about 90% assembled. color-wise, i'm thinking a green color, just a basic wrecker, nothing 'flashy', a new work truck look is what i am after.

Canso65 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I've been drooling over this kit when I go to the hobby shop.Looking forward to seeing this come together Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I've had the previous issue of this kit on my "to do" list for quite some time, I know once I start I have to commit to finishing it. I want to use a more modern looking truck and am thinking the Revell 359 tractor from a few years ago would be suitable and compliment the Can Do wrecker I also have waiting to be built.Looking forward to seeing this one done, maybe it will give me the nudge to get started on mine!

tbill Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 contrary to popular belief, i have been working on this, just haven't been on-line much. a little mock up of where i am heading with this, lots of painting left to do, and i may add the white stripes from the KW snapper kit to it. color is GM 'Fresh Lime Green' and looks close to lime ice, the interior is tamiya racing green. hope to have another update soon, and get time to catch up on all the builds going on in here........

tbill Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 well, decal situation has been resolved had some decals from the revell 32ford 5 window laying around and thought, lets see if these will work, i kinda dig it. it's all just mocked up so don't let the crooked parts concern ya, lol. more to come soon, thanks for looking.
