AMT Ford C900 GarWood Refuse Truck-Test Shot

[mackinac359]

Here are some sneak-peaks of the upcoming AMT Ford C900 GarWood Refuse Truck.

Over 115 new parts, lots of detail and moveable packer and compactor blades.  New 5-hole "steel" "Budd type" wheels and a "D" shaped gas tank.

As a test shot these are preliminary pieces and the final parts might be slightly different.

This will be a great kit!

 

More later!

Looks like a really nice kit.

i think it will look way more better on a old Mack DM600

Looks very promising. Should be a great kit. The hydraulic lines and controls are a nice touch. Thanks Tim, for the preview.

That looks nice. Real metal eject cylinder is nice touch.   All that is missing is the trash stench and some 1/25 scale maggots to cover it with........

Really nice work and photos. Definitely looking forward to a couple kits 

Hopefully they'll replace those inner side walls w solid sheet , cant imagine real truck has those slots for trash to collect around packer blade .

^Gotnitro - I don't know if the interior walls will be lined.   If not a thin sheet of Evergreen plastic should do the trick.

Thanks for the info Tim, we are excited about  new tooling added to an old favorite.  Will the new  wheels  have the separate ring associated with  wheels in the 20" size?

Nice detail in it!!!!!

Thanks for the great pictures, Tim! Amazing to see this kit finally being realized after all these years since the announcement, was it really mid-seventies. Upgrades to the C900 kit too! Life is still full of surprises, some of them good, LOL!

I'm good for at least 3 (more likely 6, if Mrs. brinx doesn't read this post). I'll build the first out of the box but am also planning to put the body on a Ford Ln and a DM-600 for sure. Who ever gave the "Green-light" to this project... THANK YOU!!!!

I love the C cab trucks, and this is just wondrful. I will be getting at least 2-3 of these. I already have a LNT ready for one of the trash units.
