Sam I Am Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Here is the old Chevrolet Titan that started out as a falling apart old built model. I cleaned it up and scavenged the missing parts to put it back together. I wanted to keep it in as close to original as I could. This makes a total of six trucks and three trailers in my fleet. Thanks for following. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincen47 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I wouldn’t be able to tell that it was once a wreck. Nice save! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam I Am Posted December 24, 2020 Author Share Posted December 24, 2020 Thanks everyone, it is fun to save them when you can. I have a few from an old friend that I need to figure out how to scrub cooking grease off of without ruining them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr mopar Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Cool the old kit with bus mirrors ....I wish AMT would have left them in the kit ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and in my sorting of parts I found an almost complete GMC Astro with turbine. I compared all the pieces to the instructions and it all matches up. I also have a Junkyard dog in like condition. I think these are headed to ebay. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockford Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I love Astros, they'd still look modern today, huge glass area giving great visibility. Far ahead of it's time. This is a great specimen, well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few from an old friend that I need to figure out how to scrub cooking grease off of without ruining them Try using over cleaner or soaking them in super Clean to get the grease off. Of course this will remove the paint and chrome plating too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
