Chuck Most Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) I've posted this model a few times before, but it has recently undergone a few changes. It started out as a Monogram F350 chassis and an MPC '53 Ford cab, and just snowballed from there. Here's how it looked upon completion in 2010. About a year later, it was damaged on the way back from a show, so a few repairs were in order, and I decided to make a few changes while I was at it. I added a sling to the wrecker, changed the air filter, and front wheels/tires. I also airbrushed on some wide whites for the rear tires. And that's how it stayed until 2017. The 2017 refresh was pretty tame- I added some cab lights and turn signals from an AMT big rig kit, and I changed out the air cleaner once again, raiding one from a Moebius Comet this time. Some time ago the hood ornament was knocked off, and rather than replace it, I opted to replace the entire grille with a resin Hudson Terraplane piece. I also redid the interior, replaced the glass, and channeled a little more out of the back of the cab so the cab would sit level. Maybe it'll finally stay one way or maybe it'll get totally rebuilt one day, who knows. I call this my "George Lucas" model, because much like he did with the original Star Wars trilogy, I'm constantly going back and changing things whether I should or not.
