1944 Diamond T wrecker

And yet again, you have raised the bar even farther! Holy cow, Charlie, that is absolutely awesome!!!!!!! -
Beautiful C4! These truly are underappreciated cars. They get trash talked so much by the owners of the newer more advanced cars, but seldom do the trash talkers realize/admit that without the C4, their generation cars would not be anywhere near what they are today. These cars were an unimaginable advance over everything that came before them. They were actually banned by the SCCA from Showroom Stock GT racing as they totally dominated the class, beating it's competitor the Porsche 944 Turbo 29-0 from 1985 to 1987. I have a 1995 LT-1 six speed that I bought a couple years ago. It is also Torch Red and I just turned 50K on the clock. It is a stablemate to my Mustang GT from 1991 which is also fun, but just not as much as the Vette. Enjoy your 93!!!

Charlie, you never cease to amaze! Fantastic work sir! -
Gary was a superb gentleman and a great influence on our hobby. I used to spend lots of time at shows just chewing the fat with him. Condolences to his family. Godspeed my friend.

Nicely done, Brian! -
Woods can describe some of the implements of a duffer, or it can be a category of organic fibrous material, or it can be the last name of a gentleman who is just a BIT more than an inept golfer.

The DM600 has one error on the reissues that should be fixed. The left rear corner of the hood has a notch in it that does not appear on the real truck. The hood should have a plain 90 degree corner to it and no notch. The cab would need to have the corresponding bumpout removed and the hood have the notch filled in. This appears to have been done when they reissued the 600 kit so that they could use the same cab mold for the DM800 as well as the DM600. It is quite easy to fix. The attached photo is from an original MPC issued kit with the correct hood details.

Achieving paint scaling
redneckrigger replied to landman's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Does this method work with enamels or does it have to be acrylics to allow the water to soften it to reach the hairspray? Thank you! -
Wishing I had more bench time available, but making the best of what I have. Installed the drum/brake/clutch linkages and made up the radiator. The next step is the operator’s controls and the drum drive guards and finish the fuel tank details. The linkages go down into the floor and then forward under the floor to the operators station as can be seen in the brochure photo. Not making lots of progress, but having lots of fun, and at the end of the day, that’s all that counts!
