Built about 35-40 years ago, Testor's rattle cans and I did use aluminum tubing for the stacks. AMT Pete COE.

Looks great!

Casey is correct, Uniroyal 11x22's.

Thanks, I actually have a copy of the new release, just been too busy to open it.

Just curious if anyone has tried this: https://www.micromark.com/Wondercutter

Looks great!

Blue Jacket has ship castings but I don't think they are much cheaper than the 3D prints. Micro Mark also has a few items.

Thanks Charles, looks good!

Thanks, looks like that will do the trick. Just have to figure out the size. Oh, and you're right, they are not cheap!

Looking for a source of lug nuts with studs, 1/25 scale for a smaller truck. Thanks

Looks good!

X3!!

Could do that too. That's what the 41 Chevy is. It's the size for a Ford F350-650, we have one at work. I'm looking for an older look so I'm going with the 41.

Thanks I think I have the wheels figured out. Something about me doesn't like to take something whole and break it down into parts.

Nice job!

Came out great!

I have the 3 kits in that I needed to decide how to proceed. Pics are below for comparison. The first is the Ford C600. Cab looks too big for the small packer body. Next is the Dodge and it might be ok, and I do kind of like the look. Finally is the 41 Chevy pickup. I like this one the best as it's close to the look of the Mack in the first post. Now I have to figure out what to use for wheels and tires. The kit tires with the P/U are way too small.

FWIW, I always used distilled water for decals. Too many times tap water left residual behind. Not saying that was the cause in this case.

I like weird but this is off my radar!

The front end is 2.8" wide by 2" tall. Body along the bottom from front to where the down slope starts is 2.5". According to my calculations, that makes capacity in 1:1 of about 5 CY. Adding height would be the hardest. It looks well proportioned, just small.

Maybe some "rotted" rubber hoses or parts of hoses hanging off the ends?

Nice. All you need is another one and a dolly and you'll have old school pups!

I can get you some measurements if you want. The packer is small for a full sized truck.

I think Auslowe makes them.

Thanks, I'll have the kits in a few days. I can do better when I have the parts in hand.
