Michael F Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I wanted to do this one for a long time, a fictional Carsini winery truck from the ´Columbo´ crime series. The Chevy cab and engine are from the amt kit and these great looking wheels are from scenes unlimited. I stole the chassis from the Revell Opel Blitz kit. Everything else is from the partsbox or scratchbuilt from Evergreen styrene and real wood. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hct728(Bob) Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) My compliments on a very realistic model! Amazing workmanship on the stakebed and the effective weathering on the cab and body! You have some great woodworking skills! Edited January 8 by hct728(Bob) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael F Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 (edited) Thank you so much for your interest and kind comments, guys!!

Don, i used this AMT kit for this one, comes with the Thrift Master inline six. I changed one thing on the engine: i installed an oilfillercap to the valvecover instead of the oilfiller tube on the side of the engine.

Jon Cole Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Nice, detailed rig❕ Twisted wires in engine bay... even detailed the hood latch. And, just enough grime, wear and tear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
