scummy

G,day , OH ###### ! that bins been around a bit , been to hell and back .

G,day , when i started truckin in the 70's i had a part labradore part doberman dog that when you said give us a grin he'd roll up his top lip ,so the other drivers called me "smily dog " which changed later to "dog" .I then changed it later to " wolfman " as i learnt to talk like the wolfman . Now i'm known as " scumbag - or scummy "

G,day , gee for a vehicle thats been whacked in the rear at 70mph the cab stood up well .

Gday , geez there's some work in that paint work for the cab .Thats the wildest cab i've seen in a while ,i like it , cheers

G,day , i drove one in the mid 70's and it was orange with a black stripe around it. It was powered by 8;71 detroit with 9 speed box and went like the clappers ! But on the old hihgways here the cab kept cracking around the radiater cap door , it also had steel door trims and cardboardy style roof lining which made it hot in summer and cold in winter . We were an overnighter company so every week night we flew between sydney - melbourne , i WAS a young bloke and was in love with it .Cheers mark .

Shock horror !! rotting classics, how sad .

ARGH ! delaid pressies from santa

G,day , Its turned out fantastic , i like it very much . What a big difference from the outa box to this fine machine , very good .

G,day , you've done a great job of a very difficult kit.The only other one i ever saw built was in another model mag many years ago ,who knows maybe one day someone will find the real car ?

G,day Ace , welcome aboard just remember to stay seated and keep arms and legs in until the ride stop s ! I've been here for awhile and it's the place to be .

G,day , my first was a 1/32 aurora roadster- pickup , "Shiftin driften ". It was about 1969-1970 , got it for hobby class in primary school , and still got it in bits in a box somewhere . Cheers .

G,day , yer your right dave there was a coe kw with torsion , it was a loooong time ago and the challenger mixer was the only w model that had it . Ive tried to harrasse nigal from auslowe model parts to release the version he had many years ago , but he says it's too badly damaged to try and push out the torsion bar setup . With any luck with all the early truck stuff they are releasing they may drag out the challenger mixer ???????????????? Cheer's mark.

G,day , WOW ! lookin at the photo's you can almost hear the fire breathing dragon within . Hey foxer ,i think the wheels come out of the AMT fiat topalino . Not from the original version but the blueprinter set . Cheers ,

G,day , If their the ones i remember they use to be MPC kits . The merc has no motor and is basically a curbside car but can be painted up to be a neat lookin merc , they are a great kit for young modellers on the way up as when finished they look good , cheer's

G,day , theres something about these old AMT truck kits that make an older modeller warm inside . Very good job mate .
