I ordered this kit online with other items and kit arrived destroyed. The seller made good on it and let me keep the kit.The body was broken in half at the windshield, one side of the ''A'' frame gone and all breaks in the plastic were not clean breaks,Im waitjng for some items for the 60 T-bird Im working on so I figured why not fix this kit,so here goes.......

Used some evergreen strips to beef up the breaks underneath and white areas on the top side is Tamiya putty.

running boards were also busted up, so now Im making a set of new ones, rear mags were busted up too which seemed strange,but easy parts box fix for those..

Im not sure which way to go with it yet but it always figures itself out

Body work done, final mock up and ready for primer. Any thing white is Tamiya putty I used to fill the cracks from the broken body. The steps are all new also.

The wheels were also broken, replacement wheels are parts boxbut match was pretty close

paint will be 2 tone Yellow and White.

Nice save. Wow when you say destroyed the post must have driven over the box For that much damage.

You must have gotten a real good deal and piss him off, because I am sure this was not pictured.  You have done a really good save, nice work

Chassis done,, not much to it or the interior, besides its all covered up by green glass. Drilled out the header pipes and used ''Detailer'' on the steps.

This turned out nice. How is this truck compared to a regular pickup? Size comparison for a regular armored truck.

I think its an '' it is what it is '' kit. Its a 1/24th scale kit but if you start introducing 1/25th scale medium duty truck parts in the mix you will see the body is on the small size.

Thanks Ken I was thinking it was small. Just not sure.
