ranma Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Project is shelved untill I get the needed parts to finish it. The frame came from the Revell Peterbilt along with the fuel tanks, and the Frame was shortened so it isn't as long as the was. The Durastar cab was from a Speedway Gas station Firetruck.

Chariots of Fire Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 How's the cab scale out size wise for 1/25? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I will have to look for one of those, I can envision lopping one of the axles off and making a HD flatbed roll back truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian falcone Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) i believe first gear made that truck for speedway. they also make this in 1/24th scale https://www.firstgearonline.com/product-store/towing-and-recovery/slideback-carriers/79-0572 Edited December 23, 2017 by brian falcone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotnitro? Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 First gear really makes some fantastic trucks in 1 -24 . Wish the kit companies would follow suit The armor guys get spoiled since most the injection molding companies "copy" equipment from somewhere else and sell as their own...then everyone else rushes to market the same one making a flood of new kits of obscure vehicles. Just this past year seemed everyone was producing Abrams kits w full interiors and engines. Places like Meng, Tacom or even trumpeter could really wow us with kits if they would invest the tooling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
