Ken Gilkeson Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 going to build this truck from memory. It helped build the Interstate highway here some 45 yrs. ago. going to start with this kit from a fellow poster on here.
cowboy rich Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Should be a great canvas for you with all your detail talent I've never built it but looks like fun. Any idea on colors yet?
gatorincebu Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Ken, I am sure with your model building skills. That you will do this truck justice. I have always liked the A-cars. And I have a couple that have been built and are no waiting to be repaired. And a couple more in my stash. Be Well Gator
SpreadAxle Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 I can't wait to see where you take this build. I built and rebuilt this kit myself and it lends itself to some really cool possibilities.
Ken Gilkeson Posted June 8, 2015 Author Posted June 8, 2015 kit had been started with some paintwork done. cab will be set aside cause I love the color. I'll swap it with a diamond reo I have unbuilt.
