Finally got to the bench for a few hours last night. Still working on the weathering and blending it all together. I will also be adding a flatbed trailer to the build.

Wow, what a great looking model! I'm almost tempted to break out my kit! It would be awesome if, someone would make the Hood and all the other part needed, out of Resin! The hood could be used, for other kits.

Nice build looking forward to seeing it all finished.

I’m looking at doing it, but I reckon Round 2 will magically find the moulds.

I would not be surprised, look what seems to be happening with the never reissued Challenge Mixer, it's supposed to come out later this year after what I have read, true or not I don't know as I haven't read a public confirmation on it from Round2.

Thanks, Ben. I bet if you did mold some of these parts, they would definitely sell.

Thanks Dan and Vince. Need to get the lights, horn, and exhaust mounted along with filling some extra holes and will then start the overspray and extra mud and dirt.

Thanks Gator. The fenders make it look like a powerhouse! Just a brut of a truck.

I would like to make a narrow hood version to mould. I’m trying to track down a real truck or spec sheet to measure up.
 

I love what you’ve done with this

Made a little more progress on the build. Once the trailer is complete, I will then add the spray from the road and extra weathering. 

[Biggu]

Love this.... I sure wish they would re-issue it or a conversion kit....

[bigred63]

Looking Good! Reminds me of the one I built in the early 80's! I remember some of the models that Mark Savage used with this kit! A real master, Mark Savage.  

[Jim B]

It really looks fantastic.

[CRUSADER2]

Looks great!! a proper tough looking workhorse.

Thanks Jeff. I do too. This is an awesome kit that deserves a re-issue.

Thanks Ron. I can remember building this kit in my younger days as well. From what I remember, it didn’t turn out this nice, lol.

Final update. I will be putting this under glass. I’m not super happy with my final weathering but it it what it is. Thanks everyone for following along and your comments.
