1959scudetto Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) I recently found some old photoprints - these are from 1983 - and scanned them: built out of the box, truck is brush-painted, trailer body sprayed with Revell matte steel grey. I have located the trailer, but don't know where the truck actually is - will be reworked and turned into a workhorse some day (too much bling-bling on this one = too many decals and much too much chrome !)

gatorincebu Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Helmut, That has to be one of the best Bi-Centennial paint jobs I've seen in quite some time. You nailed it ! The trailer looks good as well. Although a bit overloaded ! Nice work , That rig looks real good from over here ! Be Werll Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be Werll Gator Thank you, Gator- in the meantime I happened to find the truck - the former white stripes have turned to an ugly tan/yellow color - all due to the Revell clear gloss enamel I used almost 40 years ago for covering paint and decals. This is definiely a candidate for rebuilding ! 10 hours ago, ChrisR said: Very nice! Thanks, Chris ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Helmut awesome build up of your Mack truck and dump trailer! And that was 40 some years ago.
