...........front push bumper with rubber done ,,,bumper filler and winch mount fabbed up ,,painted and in the dehydrator,,winch line guide rollers next to be made and painted

Your brake chambers are ok ,,maybe just kick 'em up a tad if ya can,,otherwise good to go

Lookin good Ron !

Thanks Randy!

Hang in there Gary,,,things will work out for the best

Great job Zip!!!

Nice build Walter!

..............I'm just blown away with that Francis !!! "walks away sulking and goes back to playing with Legos" 😛 lol

I've made my own with Evergreen Clear sheets CLEAR ORIENTED POLYSTYRENE SHEETS - Evergreen Scale Models

Just build up the Revell kit like a glider,,,complete ,paint and everything,except for the diffs and suspension,,build up the wrecker body ....then do the math,,you can paint your add on once you figure it out and just nail it in then,,,that's how I do my frame stretch/shorten

I've been looking for one of those too Lee,,the mixer kit was a DM800 I think the last time that was issued was in the 90's,that's why I jumped on this ,it's been out of production for awhile ,,I think I'll build this up as a flat bed after a truck I worked on owned by Dennis Crowley,he hauled coil steel back in the 80's

CA glue Brian

Thanks Lee!

....................on a side note I picked this up on Ebay ,,,haven't seen one of these in awhile

Mirrors are on ,bumper is primed and ready for painting then rubber mudflap material to be attached ,,the winch will pay out above the bumper like the 1:1 so it doesn't have to be cut out

That dash panel looks super!

Thanks Gary! I didn't think I could pull it off at 1st ,,,but it worked out ok

I considered trying that ,, I was going to airbrush some Testors Stoplight Red ,,but I didn't want to push my luck ,lol!

I've tried just about everything ,,,,,Tamiya putty and Bondo spot glaze is all I use now,,, Brian,,remember not to make it too easy for the mechanics to gain engine access !!! lol

................I think the forum got overloaded with your genius, Francis ! lol Again,,,incredible workmanship!

.............a little more progress,I ran out of CTM marker lights,,,should have those by the weekend,,, Bulldog is on the hood,Auslowe cab markers are on,the light bar is on and the chain box diamond plate mounted with some chain thrown in .The winch lines with the hooks are done. Still massaging the front bumper ,,,winch should be here soon .I've ordered 2 more cab kits from Karl at Global, a Brockway 361 and a B61 Mack undecided how I'm going to build 'em yet

Thanks Steve

That looks outstanding! And the Tangerine paint job justs begs for some "Allied Van Lines" decals or "Schneider "
