Wow. Going to be quite a build.

Cool choice...looks like you have some neat parts to add to it.

This is definitely an oldie but a great one...can't wait to see it.

What Tom said...You sure have a way with your paint schemes

Nice truck to build. Years back there was a concrete outfit locally called Blue Circle owned by an English company. The trucks were a bright yellow with blue lettering

I like it...there are still a couple I see around here. The interiors are pretty basic on the real truck.

My entry is going to be the Italeri Pete 378 with the wrecker body from the Revell KW

This will be a neat old school dump truck.

I was going through some stuff today and came across this box of parts. Looks to be a complete Chevy Titan C/O. Also the GMC instruction sheet and a complete turbine engine + all the turbine specific parts for the frame. Made my day

Happy New Year...........Lets make it a safe one

My first truck was the Peterbilt without the sleeper. Here it is today as a rebuild project.

Looks like the real thing. Nice work.

I wouldn't mind having a CB again,but with all the other distractions,Two touchscreen computers,rear facing cam, voice over ip on one of the computers and a company radio......too much for me.

10-4,I'm outta here,keep the bugs off your glass,the bears off your......bumper and the shiny side up. Happy Holidays

Lol........gottcha good buddy....keep the hammer down

The truck I drive for work has flaps in front of the steer tires, but not as big as the ones you have pictured. they help with rocks that are thrown off the steer tires. The tires on my truck have an open tread design and will easily flip a rock that is 3/4" diameter. At freeway speed those rocks can bounce out in front of you,if one hits just right and goes up in the air...you can hit them and pit or crack the windshield. In the pic you can see them behind the bumper........wish they were much larger

Right on Gator........MERRY CHRISTMAS

That looks great Sean. A great addition to your shelf.

Here's one that I came across one day. The only warning is that the bridge is one lane....no weight limit signs or clearance warnings until you are at the bridge . I was 13 tall and grossing 76000 Turns out that is a sturdy old bridge that is 12' 3" wide

You guys have some fantastic builds going! The Pete is one of my old builds that needed work,the Aeromax 106 gave me fits and got put back in a box,the International was a gluebomb I acquired...has all the parts to make a neat daycab. Darn photobucket.......won't let me post pics

In regards to the wrecker models. I found them pretty straight forward to build. The wrecker in the Pete kit is very heavy,some have reinforced the frame or built something to hold it level.The KW wrecker body seemed to me to be a bit too wide,so I put that on a 1/24 Italeri truck...liked the proportions better. As for the tires....they are ok other than the front tires in the Pete are from a 1/16 scale car kit and say Goodyear GT Radial on the side wall. I enjoyed both kits.

I drove heavy wreckers for years. 99% of our towing was break downs. That sleeper comes in handy. After a long day around town,then getting a road trip...sure was nice to be able to pull over and grab a nap.
