Very well done Chuck !!

Looks like my eye balls are out of calibration, guesstimating the frame length was off after the bed was mocked up. Called in the squirrels that love playing with a torch and manned the fire extinguisher... now everything fits nice and snug..and our furry friends found time to add a hamster wheel on the back ! Check out those sweet gaps !!! OSHA approved Rough draft of the rear plate , felt like doodling the tail lamps and pintle location...now to weld up the winch tower

Thanks its growing on me lol trying to build all the major parts before adding much detail. Thanks !

Awesome Kerry that's exactly the stuff I was searching for. Every truck I've seen is covered w binders and chains for securing loads The search function always annoys me...

Kerry thanks for the suggestion also ! ?

Would you be able to post link to them ? I wasnt sure where to begin search on their site

Okay need help ...wheres a good place to purchase chain binders, snatch blocks or ancillary equipment these trucks would carry ? Thanks for advice

Good idea !

Yep I completely understood your description Thanks , yeah KFS tires are awesome . Originally I had planned using their terra tires , like monster truck ...but it affected my ground clearance too much

Fantastic work, ditto ×10 what's already been mentioned

Thanks everyone for their suggestions, I spent more time checking out the gin poles and they add more interest to the enormous bed space , and flipped up make a statement! Kerry - yeah lately I've tried to stay focused on one project, and work on that till its finished..or run out of detail parts I forgot to order lol . Theres so many projects that I want to tinker with The truck has its first mock up w the winch and bed tonite . Theres no channels for gin poles or structures underneath yet. The winch is a 105k from Plaskit.I just built a deck for it , raising it above the floor like most photos show them. and.... the bed scales out approximately 20 ft all that lower empty space will be tool bins chains rack and fuel tanks . The roller frame will be built onto a bulkhead /rear bumper .

Wow , I never looked that close at most of the stencils in the kits..but they definitely messed up a few like Jim B said. Our unit had the driver / TC names along the bottom of windshield, and was frequently changed as people ETSd out . I remember the CARC stencils , but not where they went . Theres a site w tech manuals and stencil data shown, Jim b probably recalls it offhand

Thank you for info ! I may add the gin poles to mine after all. I love your front bumper its fantastic!!!! I have a plan for building a guard around winch, and there will be spare tire mount also.

I really suck at identifying transmissions, glad ya shared a photo.

Nice recovery Mark. ! Glad to have ya along

Wow nice work ! That short box definitely looks better

A fellow modeler and I are finishing up a mini group build using Jerry's Decals and thought they were appropriate . I nearly ordered the Bandit set too

I recently painted a few parts with it , and had mixed results. On bare , clean plastic it wouldn't stick and finish was awful. Now I primed same plastic w Tamiya fine white primer , then painted over that w their color max gloss white and it looked beautiful w fantastic coverage . The price is good too

Awesome looking wheels !

Really coming along now !!!

Outstanding build ! You dont many of these built and you nailed it ! Thanks for joining BRBO

Fantastic work ! Really like those colors together

Holy smokes I missed this posting sorry ! I commented on it on fb ,totally missed it here . Awesome job and everything looks perfectly dirty ! Thanks again for participating

Sad to hear ??

I thought about that , but I'm even a worse plumber than carpenter...I'd end w pipes coming out everywhere lol. I ended up scratching up an intake from photos I found waiting for daughter to fall asleep to hide her Easter basket . Actually turned out decent Needs some putty to blend in , and the flanges w meng bolts added yet
