Warren D Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) Calling this one done. Monogram Garbage Truck gave the body, Revell 1941 Chevy pickup donated the cab and chassis. Wheels are from Jimmy Flintstone. I remember the garbage trucks when I was growing up had garbage cans hanging from under the body. The packer body in the Monogram kit is small for a truck, but seems just right for a a smaller pick up chassis. Paint is Testor's Model Master Acrylic Gloss Green and Gloss White. Tires are Polly Scale Grimy Black. Rear fenders are scratch, see build thread for how. Edited October 16, 2018 by Warren D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drinkone2 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Nice! You made the right choice of cabs, that packer body looks great on that chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chariots of Fire Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Warren: That's perfect!!! I remember a local trash contractor who had small trucks like this only on International chassis and he had the trash barrels on board just like you have shown! He also had a rake and shovel mounted for when things get stuck. Some nice decals on the packer body would finish it off! Great job! Don't forget to dirty it up a bit where the trash gets dumped!
