on top of the heater..warmest place in the cab..lol

thats a heater...Ertl & Amt swapped a lot of parts with different kits..in some kits u dont use all the parts..if u want a control box u will have to scratch build it..

nice build..i have built them in a few days but not in 12 hrs..ill be watching..

Awesome job..

thank you..... one day i hope to build one https://www.czechtruckmodel.com/domu/100-ctm-24110-65-oval-lights.html

thanks Tom..

i grew up on Anacoco Lake . its been a few years since i been back their..

thanks..i never scaled the size in inches . they came from 1/32 scale big foot trucks. .

No my friend i built it back in 2020. Ive had builders block going on a year now..im hoping to finish my oil field truck before show time..

were you station at Fort Polk ?

no i did not . but any questions just message me.

a guy i know up in the North West country owns a few of these that he uses to fight fire in season. His cab's are KW c500, but i went with a Paystar..

I had shown this back in 2020 but since then i finally put the right decals on it so ill start over. i know a lot of you have seen it so just over look me . im old..lol.. this came close to going in the trash as it was in really bad shape for a glue bomb. i had to rebuild the front of the cab to start..i was gonna build a replica of one of the real moving trucks i had owned. but i started to customizing it by molding in the grill and adding square headlights..at that point again i started to trash it as i did not like how it looked..another month went by i picked it back up and built the bed..then it happened things started popping in my head of what it could look like (owing two real toter trucks before helped also ) once the bed was built i built a working 6 way high tower , added a winch + skid plate, real concrete blocks, hose reel, extra air tank. for volume , swan on hood, generator, power cord reel, water cooler, a shovel, anchors and anchor machine were scratch built along with sliding out mirrors & spot mirrors..topping that off with a oversize sign, over head rotating lights my name on the door , Louisiana DOT inspection sticker and license plate.. they is more detail ill let u find it..

looks great..love them Paystars..

what color bottle did u have ? they are 2 types of Plastruct glue. i been using them for many years with no problem at all..

i been using Bondo Glazing & Spot putty since back in the 80's . apply in thin coats. dries fast and easy to sand..you can get at Walmart or any auto parts..im sure any big outlets that sells paint will have it also..try it i think you will like it..

great job

looking good so far..

im sure it will look as good or better than the first one..i still got trucks to repair after i moved 2 years ago..

probably the same as Walmart sells . lot of these paints come from the same factory with the different stores having a different brand bottle.. a lot of builders air brush the Walmart brand . i use them for small parts.

looks great..

Looks good Alex..i like the color u used for the kit bash..

great job..

go look in your local flea market for old jewelry case they make great displays. also ask the managers at dept and toy store's..i have got them their also..

looks good so far
