Need to put the last wall on but the back door was just cleared so I have to wait , again , its the 1 thing I forgot to do...lettering is vinyl die-cuts, to match the smaller name on the hummer , add a few more decals after the last wall is on , building a slammer to keep inside . now to find room to keep it ..............
The overhead engine hoist also needs some rigging , but the inside is done
The kit from back in the day had the windshield frame molded in but no clear headlights and detailed frame with all items molded in as in these before / after pics
It probably is a promo , found this promo page on '57 birds that had friction motors and looks like maybe clear headlights,,,,,,,,,

MJ your new name here will be "Otter" , just kiddin, see ya got alot of older plastic to work on , watch that Mr Obsessive or you'll have models with door locks that work and you'll lock youself out with the car running and never get that kit done , . Some of these guys are pushin the bar thru the roof...........
I looked at all of them Ken and have to say thats some fleet of the cleanest "carnie" machines I've ever seen cross a scale . 5th wheel crane mounted KW and that generator unit look real good. I'm trying to get this build done and start a few bigger truck builds myself , gonna use the boom from the Italeri kit 776 with the Paystar 5000 minus the dump or Testors rekitted Turbocharged Scania T-142-H. Your so right about taking up some space...
Bob , I have this old pop machine you can redo for the bed of your '62 its 2 1/8th wide x1 1/4 deep x2" high . Its from a 1/18 th scale item but I'm sure its way smaller then that, if you want it for your build its yours , let me know I'll send it out to 'ya....
Ifound out the hard way Dupli-color does not like to go over Testors lacquer system. 3rd paint job also meant reworking the wood inside , good thing I only tried 1 side to see how it would work. Its all done , just needs detailing and final assy......
The roof is dark blue as is the nose cap. I'll have to figure how to get some blue on the sides , maybe large lettering
Really a great subject , seen one that was like a wagoneer [if my mind is on track]made by Specast , I chose the '57 Dodge pickup instead , but upon getting it home it looked more like some odd 1/27 or 28th scale not the 1/25th it stated, so I never went back for Willys
Ya , just picked out the info needed , copied and pasted to view , I dont know what the extra #'s at the end were.....but on this kind of forum Brian can edit his original post removing the unwanted info , and re-submit ,then it should be ok.
