Warren D Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Calling this one done, though I might add a pair of CB antennas. Chassis is from an old Pete Wrecker kit I built up 30 years ago. Brockway 361 parts from AITM. Holmes wrecker body from First Gear via Redneckriggeer. Per-lux fog lights, custom light bar for wrecker body. Time will tell if the weight of the metal wrecker body sags the frame. Paint is Testor's Aztek Metallic Blue Pearl over a white base.

I really wish a resin version of the Holmes was available, I really like the look of the lattice booms. I know the ex-KFS might be coming some day........
Tesla Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 Perfect! From the paint to all the details...Well done Warren?

mikemodeler Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 Nice work, love the color and details. The Holmes wreckers would be nice to have in any version- 440,500,600,750, & 850!
Hermann Kersten Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 The first thing that came to mind was, WOW! Hermann.
