AzTom Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) My next project. These trucks were assembled as kits from parts that were sold upon the closing of Winross several years ago. I bought them at the Toledo show around that time. They are 1/64 scale diecast. The first one is an Autocar crane truck. This is the White 3000 with a utility service type bed. This White is an original old one missing the cab. I bought a new cab for it. I am debating on vacuum forming some windows for them although Winross never did.

Superpeterbilt Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Cool project. What are your plans for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzTom Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 Thanks, That is a good question. The crane truck will be painted a two tone but haven't decided on colors. The Service truck with cover, I was thinking on the lines of an electrical co. I have been looking of photos of original Winross trucks but have been unable to find this one. The Gas and Electric truck may just get touched up and a blue cab. I did get them cleaned up and shot the Self Etching primer on the all this morning.

AzTom Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 I decided to just paint the new cab for the Genesee Gas & Electric truck blue. These trucks are rather rare so at least for now it's done. The White 3000 Utility truck is now red and off white. The red is Createx acrylic and the white is Model Masters Lacquer Phoenician yellow. Clear coated with Dupli-Color Acrylic Lacquer.

AzTom Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Here is the Aurocar. I could not find one photo of this Winross truck anywhere. I decided to paint it John Deere green and yellow for my shop service truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
