1980 Volvo N-10

[Chuck Most]

In short, it's the old Ertl kit built box stock other than the air conditioner, aluminum smokestack, and decals. I also made new spindles as the diecast parts in the hit refused to cooperate with me.

Beautiful model! I always tried to get one of these. Didn't they have even a metal chassis?

[Force]

Yes they do, I have one of these in my stash.

Yes it does. I know that's off-putting to many modelers but I've had far worse-fitting plastic rails.

I have always liked this generation N-series trucks, they were made at a time where cabovers were taking over in Europe and were never as common as the F-series of the same vintage, but I remember seeing most of them as gravel trucks. Your build is very nicely done.

Looks great, weathering is excellent, really like it, great work!!!

Looks great.
My dad used to drive one when i was little.
His was a gravel truck, it was the same yellow and had a silver dumpbed.
They had 2 trucks, the N10 and a F12 and they used both for what they were good for, the F12 could get in to tighter spaces then the N10 could thanks to it being a cabover.
Now that company and trucks are long gone.

Lots of character to this good build. Very well done.
