PatW Posted December 18, 2018 Author Posted December 18, 2018 Thanks Dave. Yes very nice kit, well detailed, well made, with two sets of decals on one large sheet.
landman Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 Beautiful. However, you may have to line the dump box with steel if you are going to haul big stones like that...
PatW Posted December 19, 2018 Author Posted December 19, 2018 Thanks Pat. Your dead right of course, and I have some tread plate Plasticard that would do a treat!
Atmobil Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 Great work on this one Patrick, nice to see another one of these built. But did lorries really have white wall tires back in the day?
Ace-Garageguy Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 Very nice. They always remind me of the Dodge trucks in the old Sean Connery movie Hell Drivers.

PatW Posted December 23, 2018 Author Posted December 23, 2018 Cheers Peter and have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in 2019! I was in your country (NZ) in January this year (2018) yes nearly 12 months ago! Doesn't time fly when your having fun.
Chromecop Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 Very nice build. The "wood-work" looks very convincing!
bbowser Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Very cool! Did you shorten it? The kits I have seen all seem to have longer beds/wheelbases.
PatW Posted March 10, 2019 Author Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) Thanks Bruce. No that's the standard length for this kit although there is a long wheel-base side loader version. This kit The Long Wheelbase kit... Edited March 10, 2019 by PatW
Jim B Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Nicely done, Pat. IO like that OLBD dropside truck. Do you have one of those, too?

I'm not so keen on the long wheelbase version. On 11/03/2019 at 1:55 PM, spencer1984 said: Nice clean work, that looks great! Thanks Bill.
