idlewild Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 (edited) I have not posted for a while,this took me about 18 month's to build on and off.it started as the thurn and taxis show truck from revell I decided to use the sleeper from the canepa kit and slightly modified it. the tank's are from mt part's box,I filled the join lines amd made them all one peice,I also did ther same with the air cleaner barrel's and used BMF around the strap's. On the exhaust stack's I drilled out every hole and used aluminium tubing to finish them off,the antenna's are guitar wire,the mudflap's are from a material I found at a craft store and is simular to rubber. The rear guard's are from auslowe as are the one's on the trailer,the stone guard bug deflector and swan hood orderment are from ausloew as well. I scratch built the triaxle set up on the trailer and added storage lockers,the coloue is candy blue and I finished it off wit pinstipe decal's from PW. Regards Tony.

codie27 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Very nice work. I like that you painted your tanks,nice deviation from the polished style tanks that seems to be favoured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
