OlSchoolRedo Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 This my fellow modelers is the oldest truck in my collection. It is the big brother to the Pete 352 that I last featured here. This original AMT T-520 kit was purchased back in 1978 from a department store clearance rack. I built the frame and engine but never got around to painting anything, anyway I eventually lost interest and decided to box it up and put it in my closet. There is where this truck sat until the late 90's when I was between builds at the time. I painted the frame, engine, and a few other related items, and then put the kit in my "to build" stash where it sat until about 2004 when I decided to finally finish it. The trailer was added a few years ago to finally complete the build. Thanks for looking!
Old Buckaroo Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 What a great combination. The tractor paint scheme is very pleasing and you cant go wrong with a ribbed trailer. Second picture down if by itself I would really been fooled thinking it was real.
Old Albion Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 That is impressive!! Excellent build and paint work, I really like it.

OlSchoolRedo Posted January 26, 2016 Author Posted January 26, 2016 Thanks a lot my friends for your kind words. This site makes you feel like part of a family, and encourages you to show and build more. Thanks again!
1959scudetto Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Fantastic looking early 70's combination - very well executed - a really nice pair!
Mike77 Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 I was thinking the same thing as Sean, it could almost be the real thing rather than a model! Great job on both the model itself and the photography.
