RoninUtah Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 Just finished; resin build from CIP Models in Romania, chassis is an AMT WF Single Drive. Fuel tank and battery box were scratchbuilt to approximate the originals. The resin casting was great, very precise and generally correctly detailed. If I were to do it again, I'd sand off the underscaled marker lights and replace them, but that's a minor point. 10
Warren D Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 Good job. I have a different kit made by them, seems well printed/cast.
Rockford Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 Love these old 'shakers. Such a shame the big fleets like CF have disappeared. 1
leafsprings Posted May 31, 2023 Posted May 31, 2023 Great job on this vintage tractor! We don't see this style WF often, but looks very accurate and very well built. Are CF decals in its future?
RoninUtah Posted May 31, 2023 Author Posted May 31, 2023 Thanks! Yes, if I can find period correct ones, CF decals would be perfect
cifenet Posted May 31, 2023 Posted May 31, 2023 Great job putting this together, not the typical subject I see. The truck has its classic feel to it and you built it very nicely capturing the look.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 I like it! Great job! I’ve been considering getting one of these myself. I’m glad that you posted this one!
trick my mixer Posted June 29, 2023 Posted June 29, 2023 Nice looking Freightliner. CF would be proud. great job.

RoninUtah Posted June 30, 2023 Author Posted June 30, 2023 Thank you all for the kind remarks, I appreciate it!
carsntrucks4you Posted May 26, 2024 Posted May 26, 2024 Did you find the correct decals? I also looking for the old style CF decals from the earl 1950's
RoninUtah Posted May 26, 2024 Author Posted May 26, 2024 No, but they wouldn’t be hard to make; it’s just “Consolidated Freightways” on two lines, all caps and italic. I’d make them myself but my printer can’t print white.
