    BRBO Kraz 255 Wrecker

    in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment

    Posted · Edited by am73grand

    I'm sorry it's so long between updates. I've got a lot done on this one.

    The interior is finished. Here's a shot of it before I mounted the cab for good.

    Cab is mounted for good and I was able to add hinges to the doors.

    Engine detailing is done and I hinged the hood as well.

    I also got the windshield installed. While I was at it I added a spotlight to the "A" pillar.

    The lens for the spotlight has been added. It fell out and I didn't notice until I took the pics.

    I'm in the home stretch with this. It should be finished soon.

    Thanks for looking

    Firs, I want to thank everyone on the positive comments on my project. This is one of the most difficult builds I've ever attempted. Here's my latest update:

    I was able to get started on the interior. Those seats look way to clean. Guess I'll have to dirty them up.

    i figured out the spare tire mount. Simple seatbelt buckle from MCG.

    Cab is painted and the boom is installed. Cab is just mocked up as I have quite a bit more to do before I can mount it for good.

    Thanks for checking it out!

    I've been moving along on this project but forgot to update it here. Sorry about that! Here's where my monster wrecker stands as of today.

    I did some additional detailing on the engine then made it look well used. Every pic I've seen of one of these has the paint peeling off the air cleaner. I tried to replicate that look.

    Here's the boom arm detailed. I've got a few more details to add before I can call this part of the truck done.

    Here's a front view. I'm trying not to go overboard with the weathering.

    And here's a preview of the livery it will carry. This will match my Lonestar wrecker.

    This truck has been one of the most challenging builds I have ever done. Between the resin base kit and all the mods it has really tried my patience but I think it will pay off.

    Thanks for looking!
