V8 Trucker Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) Hi, the Watkins Truck I built 10 years ago. The old AMT kits are somewhat difficult to build, but you have something rare standing in the showcase.

Lordmodelbuilder Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Nice build. Brings back good memories. That was the 1st truck & trailer kits I built when they came out in the 70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10thumbs Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Welcome to the forum Jan. I thought you only made black cars and trucks. Does that good looking black Chevelle still make you happy?

angelo7 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) A Classic!! Absolutely great looking. Just like the box art. Dust free cabinets are my way too. If it won't fit in my dust free cabinet, I don't build it. Edited January 10, 2016 by angelo7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rigzndiesel Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I remember a Christmas morning back in 1982 when this combo was wrapped and sitting under the tree. I peeked a few days early and I just couldn't wait to get started on this. What a nice job you did on this! The red is so bright and the whole truck looks fantastic! I wish I could build this combo again! Thanks for sharing! Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Trucker Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Hi,I am delighted that you like the truck, as it looks, many have built the truck at a young age. Exist yet?Find attached a picture at the gas station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
