V8 Trucker Posted January 9, 2016 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. Greetings Jan Edited January 9, 2016 by V8 Trucker
Lordmodelbuilder Posted January 9, 2016 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.
towman1271 Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 great looking combo.. How did you keep it so clean for ten years
V8 Trucker Posted January 9, 2016 Author Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) Hi, thanks for your positive feedback.@dave: My models are in display cabinets, dedust every 2-3 years. Edited January 9, 2016 by V8 Trucker
Old Buckaroo Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Howdy Jan - That is a mighty fine looking combination you just dont see anymore. Fantastic collection displayed models also , better then a museum.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Nice build!! Even better collection!! Welcome to the forum.
10thumbs Posted January 9, 2016 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? Michael, alias Relikt from way back when.
towman1271 Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Hi, thanks for your positive feedback.@dave: My models are in display cabinets, dedust every 2-3 years. Awesome collection.. I think you need to start taking some more pictures and sharing some of those other builds with us
gatorincebu Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Really good looking old tractor and trailer. And a very impressive collection of models well displayed. Be Well Gator
angelo7 Posted January 10, 2016 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
Superpeterbilt Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Super cool build. Very vintage. The paint still looks great. Nice work
Canso65 Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Very nice build Jan. Your displays are incredible. Love those cases.Rob
Tesla Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Very nice build and your display cases are impressive!
disabled modeler Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 I agree with all of the above here....awesome displays and build. I remember building that set as a kid.
V8 Trucker Posted January 10, 2016 Author Posted January 10, 2016 Hi everyone, Thank you for your feedback.At the "Showroom" I have worked 2 years.Before, it was an old workshop
Brinx Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Jan, all around a great build, the tractor paint scheme came out just like the box... very nicely done indeed!
Travis T Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Very nice build. I wish the molds for that kit still existed, I would love to build one.
Rigzndiesel Posted January 12, 2016 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
V8 Trucker Posted January 12, 2016 Author 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.
