Chariots of Fire Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 The Diamond T 4 ton wrecker is now finished. The pioneer kits were added and the GI cans were strapped down. Tools are in the compartments and some tow cables, rope, four stacked buckets and 8 lb sledge are on the deck. Calling the build done. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Charles, as I have said many times, you are an amazing craftsman! This would be an incredible build if you would have built it out of a box, but to think that all of this was scratch built is Amazing! This is a beautiful build for sure! Excellent work!

Chariots of Fire Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 Thanks for all of your kind comments. Much appreciated. No sitting on the laurels, though. On to the next one! A simple kit build this time. Will keep all posted in the WIP section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekcirb13 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) Charlie, you've done so many military vehicles, spanning from WW II, to Korea and Viet Nam, that you could launch your own 1/25th scale invasion anywhere.
