Sixties Sam Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Here's something different. I built this Lindberg Dodge L-700 tilt cab truck, lengthening the frame and making it a flatbed. It hauls a Porsche diesel Junior 108 tractor from Revell Germany. The truck was a bugger to build. Nothing fit, and flash everywhere. Old tooling, I think. Opening doors - forget it. Steerable wheels - forget it. The cab does tilt. The bed is balsa and scored basswood siding. The tractor is a very nice kit. Easy assembly, good fit on all the parts. I added a go-kart from the AMT '60 Chevy pickup kit. The combination is a nod to the Nittany Antique Machinery show held near my home town. It represents a guy on his way to the show with his restored vehicles. It was a fun build, but frustrating at times, but hey, that's our hobby!

Steamboat Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Nice job bringing the Lindberg to life. It looks like the owner is not happy with it though! I spent a lot of time in that position under my Power Wagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckyg1 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Nice job on this. I like the color choice & it's a good idea well executed. Got one of these but haven't figured out what I want to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I found the tractor kit and the idea came together! It's neat how one model can inspire another build or diorama! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
