duffy-duck21 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Inspired by the famous 1939 Plymouth Air Radial Truck, I decided to build my own version of an air radial-engine truck. For my model, I opted for the 1948 Ford F-1. So it's not a 1 to 1 replica. The original vehicle, I think the interior too cheesy. That's why I've made it a little cleaner and more decent. All modifications (complete engine, complete interior etc.) are built from scratch.

espo Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 This looks amazing. Is it based on a Die Cast or Plastic ? The Interior and the Engine are exceptional looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duffy-duck21 Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 Thanks for the many nice comments. I really appreciate them. @misterNNL the engine is scratch built. It took me some time to find the right parts but finally it was pretty simple If you click on this link you can read the story behind the build: https://www.modelcarforum.de/showthread.php?t=39649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
