Jimbo8v92 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Picked up this heller model off ebay the other day and cant wait to start it. Never heard of them but looks like a nice quality kit and it came with paint, paint brush and glue. Its a 1/43 scale so a bit small but should be fun.

bigred63 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Wow, what a blast from the past. You could buy, Peterbilt wrecker, a Peterbilt tractor unit, a trailer and a Kenworth cabover. The kit where fun to build, and did not use too much space for display1 Enjoy the kit! I will be following the build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo8v92 Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 Made some more progress over the weekend. I painted the cab, hood, fenders and engine/trans ( trans will be going black or red) also assembled the wrecker boom and tower then primered it. Still need to paint the wrecker body though.

PettyKW43 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Nice work! These were such great little kits! I wish they would have been more successful for AMT, only a couple of different kits but they build up really nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chariots of Fire Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 IF you want some chrome try a Molotow chrome pen. It really works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
