Dave Van Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 My SoCal buddy started this build when I was there last Aug.......just finished it up. Terry does not do internet as he build on commission most times. But he said it'd be fine to share this one.....Paint took 80% of the time to build.....really hard paint job to match up with decals.

Bennyg Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 That's awesome! I've got a super boss in my stash and have gathered some extras from Czech Model Trucks , Auslowe and Model car garage such as door hinges, headlights, diamond pattern interior. It's good to see a super boss done so well.Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Very nice build indeed.The chassis is a bit too dark tho', in all my reference pictures for this truck the chassis on the Super Boss is light blue, pretty much like the light blue stripes on the decal sheet.

Dave Van Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Some artistic license was taken. Terry builds on commission and happy customer is job one.The other side of this is the current owner of the 1/1 Malone trucks asked is they could use it on their site.....so they approve too!!

drinkone2 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 That is nice!! I've never built this kit but recently picked up a couple of the "Papa Trucks". Does the roll cage come in the kit or was it scratch built? Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
