DRIPTROIT 71 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 This was built on an AMT Chevrolet Titan chassis. It is powered by a 903 Cummins. The casting was pretty rough, probably an amateur copy of the old Jamar fuberglass cab. The drive tires are my last Clint Freeman tires. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincen47 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Like I said on the MTB forum, the weathering is spot-on. Perfect amount of dust and grime from the road. 5th wheel grease is awesome, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1959scudetto Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Absolutely great build of a no-nonsense typical fleet truck, Brian: Outstanding weathering - dust and grime - makes it look so realistic (also the absence of chrome bling-bling like vertical exhaust pipes and the like) Very well done!

Warren D Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 I wouldn't know it was resin if you didn't say it was. Great look! Is that the AITM battery box/airtank? I've been looking for a bunch of them..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
