DRIPTROIT 71 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 This is the Strato-models Autocar DC 75/100 kit. The frame rails were in the parts box from an old Freightliner kit. The cross members are from the parts box. The front wheels and rear tires are resin. Everything else is from the parts box. The decals are thanks to Charles Rowley. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockford Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 That's really nice, you must be so proud of that. I can just imagine it with a aluminium, round-nosed van trailer, but on its own it is still a winner. Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cifenet Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Awesome job, I can definitely finding one of these in a rural country road somewhere. Realism is at its best, I also like the finish on the leathery looking seats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincen47 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Beautiful. What’s under the hood, or is it curbside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have collected so many left over parts over the years from resin conversions, I thought that I would try to keep from parting out another kit on this one.

When room allows, one day I hope to build a trailer of some kind. 19 hours ago, cifenet said: Awesome job, I can definitely finding one of these in a rural country road somewhere.

It just has a generic AMT Cummins out of the parts bag in it. I realize that it would have had the 743 C.I.D. Cummins instead of the 855, but I didn't open the hood, so from underneath, it will pass. Technically it's curbside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
