MPC Mail Truck ShowRod

[BIGTRUCK]

Its not done the way George Barris did it , but its still a save. I gave up the airbrush  [tired of cleaning it] so no fogging on this paint. No original decals , its missing the wind direction and wind speed indicators and correct side pipes but everything else is there. The original glass was full of glue and fingerprints, so all glass is new. I made a mold of the sled and cast a few , this one is one of the resin copies. Decals maybe from ' Gopher vintage ' , cant remember. Paint is all Tamiya. Light lenses are epoxy.

Great save and I like the USPO theme. The seats look really cool.

Wish Round2 could find the molds for this kit.

They are already using the USPS Licensing.

That’s really cool!  Hang a Christmas wreath on the front and tie a Christmas tree on top with the sled and you will have a nice holiday decoration to set out for folks to see.

I get airbrush fatigue from time to time so I hear ya..

Rattle cans to the rescue,  just like this one here. Nice save.
